She is walking!!! Well, shuffling

We got Ally a walker today, and look what she is doing. I guess she has been practicing this at day care and we are now promoting the practice at home now. I can't believe our little girl is walking. What is next? Driving?

Playing in the snow... kind of

Snow days in Atlanta

On Friday, we got about 3-4 inches of snow and it was actually great snow to play in. I am not sure what Ally thought of the snow, but we sure did have fun taking pictures of her in the snow.

Up to no good :)

These days Ally is in to EVERYTHING!!! Here are a few photos of some of the things she has gotten in to. She does seem like to like my school bag, full of work, much more than I do. Now I have a reason to bring it home every night.

We now have a lock on the cabinet.

my jumping bean

Allyson is so much fun right now. Well, at least she makes us laugh that is for sure. I do think she does have one problem though. She loves to play!! It is ruling her life. She used to be a great napper and take at least 2 great naps a day is not 3 or 4 little ones. Well now we are lucky to get one b/c every time we put her in the pack n play to sleep she stands up and starts jumping, smiling, and laughing. She is never mad she is in the pack n play, but she sure is not going to go to sleep anytime soon. The other day at day care she woke up another baby next to her b/c she was jumping and laughing. The best is when Justin and I try and hide from her so she is not watching us. Well, you know we can only hide for so long and every time we peek to see how she is doing, well she is looking straight at us smiling her big smile. As Jenny (one of her aunts,my sis) would say, we might be in trouble. But, for now we are just going to enjoy her smile and laugh b/c it cracks us up every day.

Same video with a twist

So, I talked with my brother today and he told me about some cool stuff he was doing with I-movie. Well, I was dying to try some of it out. Please understand I am home by myself and I have been since Thursday so needless to say I am not thinking that straight right now and that might explain the new video. I couldn't resist. It just cracked me up so I had to post it. I still have lots to learn to live up to Big Hat Productions, but I am hoping I am heading in the right direction. Enjoy!!

Pulling up video

Here is the video of one of the first times Ally pulled up on something. Her Aunt Katie got this great box of pots and pans for Christmas that was just the right size for her. If you watch the video you will see just how proud of herself she was once she made it all the way up. It is so cute. It makes you think and appreciate those simple challenges you face everyday. Enjoy!
