Can't believe it's been almost a year. Allison is doing great! She is getting around great walking since 9 months old. She now has 8 teeth and a couple more ready to pop through. She is talking up a storm, and has so much energy. When she's awake she goes nonstop playing, dancing, climbing keeps me busy but i love it. She usually will take 2 naps a day for about an hour to an hour and a half. We are teaching her sign lanuage she is starting to catch on and can do a couple different signs. She loves playing peek a boo, and loves to dance to any music. Her favorite word is still uh-oh.

Allison started walking Friday night. She just took off while we were playing. Jeff was here also so we both experienced her actually walking. Allison's new words is uh-oh and dada. She is getting so big so fast, her doctors appt was last week and she was 23lbs and 29 3/4 inches long. We got a train set for under the tree and alli loves it, she learned how to start and stop it. She doesnt really bother the train itself she just loves watching it and starting and stopping it.

Allison took her first steps already on Sunday. She is taking 2-3 steps at a time and standing with no supportl onger and longer every day. She is talking up a storm (although you cant understand most of it yet :) ).She loves climbing the steps. I would say her favorite toys right now are anything that moves, cars, bus, bouncing pooh to name a few and also her little kitchen.  She loves dancing to any music she hears.  Allison first Christmas is coming up and we are so excited, She loves ripping paper so i think she will get into opening christmas presents.

Well Allison had her first Halloween and it went well. First we went to the parade in our housing development.  Allison was a lion, she looked soo cute.  Allisons cousin Melanie stopped by and was in her pumpkin outfit she looked cute also.  We then came home and she feel asleep, i was going to  take her out trick or treating but didnt since she fell asleep. I dressed her in a pumpkin sweatsuit when she woke up and we sat outside with Jeff and handed out candy and he handed out beer and cheese to the adults.

We were at my sisters yesterday and i was getting Allison dresssed. I told her lets go get some pants on, she told me "NO"  I couldnt believe it. My sister and I just looked at each other like did she just say that. It was really cute but hope she doesnt get used to saying that word to often :)Allison also started waving bye to people this week, it is really cute!! Also she is pointing to where she wants to go.  Will get these on video soon!

Allison's first halloween is coming up, we went ot the pumpkin patch last weekend, she was interested a little. I think she liked the hay ride more then all the pumpkins.  Still undecided what her costume will be. Allison is really getting around, she is being brave and letting go of things lately and standing for 5-10 seconds by herself.  She loves chasing Jeff around the house in her walker. She also is loving her swing now, she hated it the first 6 months, i figured give it one more try before i put it away, now she wants in it everyday.

Alli is now 7 months and on the go!!! Allison is crawliing all over the place  and pulling her self up on everything. She loves her walker . She gets where she wants and is starting to get into everything. Although she is very good about what goes in her mouth. She is very vocal too. Alli has 6 teeth now!  Allison got two new cousins within the last week, Kaitlynn Bree and Melanie Elizabeth. She's not sure of them, i think she thinks they are baby dolls to play with.  We went on vacation last week and Allison did really well on the car ride.

Allison is on the go! This past month she has rolled over, started going forward in her walker and even pulled herself up the other day holding onto the toy box with daddys help. She has learned what "up" means.You say up and she reaches up. Two teeth have come in and more on the way soon i think!  She is holding her biter biscuits by herself and eating them, also wants the spoon when you feed her. She loves her veggies but not a fan of fruit. She still loves bathtime and the pool.

Wow, how time flies!
