A Walk in the Park

Today was Allie's first visit to Big Spring Park. She loved the ducks and all of the doggies. Each new animal or person she met today recieved a trademark Allie-squeal. And it was a good mental health day for mommy and daddy to boot.

Late Christmas Wishes

Allie's Christmas pictures finally arrived via email from the portrait studio. So, here are a few to share. She was so tired that day that we only got a couple of good smiles. But two will do.

Allie had a great Christmas, first with a visit from Besta and lots of goodies from her family in Norway. Then she celebrated all over again with grandmamma and papa. She has been pushing her walker around since she opened it on Christmas day.

These days Allie isn't saying much, but her few words are precious. She calls anything with eyes that is soft to cuddle, "baaa-by" (baby). And shiny or beautiful things are all "pwheee" (pretty). There is an occasional mamma or dadda, but she's mostly concentrated on her babies and pretty things this week. Last week it was hand clapping and shouting "Yeaaah!". She's so much fun.

TTFN.
