Sweet Pea Update!

Today we went for our mid pregnancy ultrasound. This is the one where they would normally tell you if it was a boy or girl, but for us it's just a Sweet Pea for now!!  It was so exciting to see the new baby and get the "all good" from the tech! During the ultrasound, the tech said the baby hasn't stopped moving. Scott replied "which baby?"  He was lucky enough to hold Alli who was squirming all around because she wanted to get down to play.  She doesn't sit still anymore!  :-)  Since the baby was moving so much some of the pictures turned out blurry.  Howver, we did get a good picture of Sweet Pea waving to Alli!!!  The due date is January 30th, 2011.  Here are some pictures from today!

This is the best profile one

This is Sweet Pea's long leg!

Here is Sweet Pea waving to us!!!

 

Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy!

Hello everyone!  I'm back!  I haven't made a post in a long time but I wanted to get on here to tell Mommy and Daddy "Happy 4 Year Anniversary"!  I'm supposed to be taking a nap right now but since I was able to sneak the computer away again, I thought I'd get on here to post some pictures that I found from their wedding - four whole years ago!  Don't they look so young!

Also, since Daddy is at work today, he asked me to give Mommy a big kiss for him and wanted me to tell her that she is the best wife and mother EVER!  Daddy loves you Mommy!

Guess who's walking???

Yep, that's right Alli is walking!!!  It is so fun to see the progress she is making.  A few days ago she started with one or two steps at a time then tonight she put about five or six together!!! She totally cruises around all the furniture and she loves pushing her Buzz car! Now she will just stand up and start walking! The good news is all this activity is tiring her out.  The bad news is this is tiring me out!  :-) 

We are so proud of her!! She is growing up way to fast! Here are lots of videos of her moving all around the place!!  Also, there is one of her playing peek-a-boo with Buddy that is hilarious!!!  Hope you enjoy!

Pushing her Buzz car and dancing!


Alli and Buddy!


Just a few steps...


More steps...


And more steps...


Then some more steps.  Think she's tired?

Chris, Liz and Parker visit Texas!!!

Our friends Chris and Liz came to Texas and Alli (and us) got to meet Parker!!! Here is a little back story on Chris and Liz.  We met them at our marriage preparation class so they are our first "our friends"!!! Chris is from Pittsburgh and Liz is from Chicago, so naturally we hit it off! We got married in the same Church two months apart and we had daughters two months apart!!!  We were so sad when they moved to Cleveland three years ago but we are always happy to see them when they come back to Texas!  Here are some pictures of the girls playing and the boys playing too!!!

This is Chris and Liz the day we met them!!!  This was 4 years ago!!

This is Parker!  Isn't she so cute!!!

Alli and Parker meet!

This is what you end up with when you try to get a 6 month and 8 month old to sit still!

Liz with Alli

The boys with the girls... the girls are trying to figure out who is holding them?

After Liz and I make enough noise the girls finally look!!

This is the best one I got of the Moms and the girls!

The girls playing!

The girls saying bye!

It was so great to meet you Parker!!

Alli was just a little tired... this was before we left the neighborhood!

 

8 Months Old!!!

Allison is 8 months old today!! These have been the greatest 8 months ever!!!! She is so much fun!!! Here are a couple of things that are going on now:

She has 2 teeth and more to come
She is crawling all over the place
She has started to take steps towards things but she just falls
She will push her Buzz Lightyear car around. It's still a little unstable but she is working on it
When she looks at pictures of herself she starts to wave
When she sees Dad she starts to clap and will sometimes blow him kisses
It is the sweetest thing to see!!! She is such a wonderful baby and we have loved every minute of the last 8 months!! Here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Here she is honking Grampy's nose!

Riding her Buzz car!

Giving Buddy a hug!!  (Buddy is her favorite destination, wherever he is, she wants to be)

This is the best one of her teeth!

You can't really see her teeth...  but isn't she cute?!?!
