8 Months Old!

Yes, I know that this over a month late, but how could I not post these adorable pictures from the day Allie turned 8 months old? Allie has turned in to quite the little monkey. She will no longer sit still and play, she's either crawling or pulling up constantly. She's mastered Mama (the sweetest sound EVER!) and Dada and continues clapping and waving like a pro. She gets cuter by the day if I do say so myself!

The Updates Are Coming!

I have not abandoned the blog, I promise! We've been in and out of town the entire month of August and I just haven't had a chance to get everything updated. Expect a ton of new posts in the coming days!

She's Crawling

Allie's been getting around pretty well in the past few months but now she's full-fledged crawling! It amazes me how quickly she can get somewhere and how brave she is. Our "toy area" in the living room is not cutting it anymore either. In fact, she wants nothing to do with that area and would rather be exploring some other part of the house. She's definitely keeping us on our toes these days.

I don't think the boys are too happy about her new-found mobility. She has an obsession with stealing their sippy cups. She's awfully cute for being a thug!

Our Little Pilot

Nick's parents have a swing shaped like an airplane in their backyard. Allie loves swinging in general but there's something about this swing that brings shear joy to her face. Maybe we have a future pilot on our hands?

All Tuckered Out

Allie fell asleep in the car the other day. When we got home, we found her like this:

I guess she was either playing a wild game of charades or trying to pick her nose. The world may never know.

I'm Sure It Won't Be Long

I hate to admit that my baby's growing up, but I'm sure it won't be long until she's walking. Sniff, sniff. She's pulling up on everything, cruising around holding onto things and transferring from one object to another. It's crazy! I guess sitting is for the birds because she wants to be standing up all.the.time. We've had make some changes around the house, such as moving the laptop to higher ground, due to her new-found love of standing up.

We even had to lower her crib mattress after finding her standing up after a nap.

Maybe Aunt Kelsey will get her wish for Allie to walk down the aisle at her wedding in just 3 weeks? I can't believe it!

Hi Mom!

Just had to post this picture because I think it's so cute! She loves standing up!
