Here are those pictures I promised! I hope you like them! The ones where she is wearing the pink polka dot dress were taken on Mother's day. She wanted to dress up pretty so I thought I should take some pics of her.

Here are some recent pictures of Alie, taken at the beginning of the month. I will try to post some more pictures tomorrow.

Alie swing like a little monkey

Some more swingin' action

Just so darn cute

Today was a really nice day. The weather was upper 60's lower 70's. Alie and I cleaned out my car from top to bottom. It looks all shiny and new now! We also played in the yard and I got out my digital camera, in hopes of capturing a good picture. Turns out, I got one on the first shot! All I had to do was ask her if she wanted candy and she lit right up!!

These are pictures from last week. She was modeling some bows I created. I also entered her in a boutique modeling contest.

Alie has been going through a growth spurt lately. She wakes up in the middle of the night, wanting to eat a snack. Her vocabulary is also improving. She can now count to 10 and say her alphabet. Not fluently, but fairly well. She recognizes the numbers 1-5, and the letter A and B. She also recognizes the color red and the star shape. I think those are her favorites.



She is now taking dance and gymnastics. She loves the classes. She only goes once a week to both of them. I think she likes her gymnastics better, because she now practices summersaults all around. She rolled off the couch the other day and landed head first on the floor. She was ok, cried a tad.



She has been having such a blast hanging out with her friends. She is so full of hugs and loves when she sees them. She also has an attitude when someone makes her mad. She throws toys, or whatever she has in her hands. She threw her cup of water at my grandma when we were at lunch the other day. Landed right in my grandma's plate. It was sooo funny, but of course, I had to scold her. Sometimes she throws really heavy things, maybe I should enroll her in baseball LOL!



Today was pretty intresting. I was busy working on projects and Kriss was playing poker on the comp. I thought Kriss was still watching her, and he thought I was. Turns out, she was up on her changing table, having a blast with the desitin. It was such a mess!!! So hard to clean that stuff off too. She is still greasy, guess it will take a few baths. I took some pictures of her fun, right before her bath. I also took some of her after bath, just to show how much she has grown. Enjoy!

I am finally posting! Sorry it has been so long! Alie is now 2 years old, still can't believe that. Her vocabulary has quadrupled since I last posted. She can speak 2-3 word sentances. I will try to post more often about her. I just hadn't been in a blogging mood for so long. Here are some pictures of her birthday. I'll post more pictures of her, probably tomorrow.

Alie's birthday party!


:: Woohoo, presents and cake! ::

Alie has even more new words. She now says "wow", "weee", "ouch", "baaa" (like a sheep), "See ya", "yay", and "Alie". It's so funny to hear her say her own name, she repeats it back to you when you call her. She can't say the S part in "See ya", so she says it like "eee ya". She got that saying from an alphabet toy she got from christmas. It says that when it is shut off, or shuts off automatically.

Well Alie went to the doctors yesterday. It was for her 15 mo. check up even though she is 16 mo. now. She had to miss her 15 mo. one due to she had the double ear infection. The doc said she is doing well in her growth and learning skills. She now weighs 21 lbs and 4 oz. which is in the 10th percentile (means she is only heavier than 10 kids out of 100). She is 30 inches tall, so that puts her in the 25th percentile. Her head is 18 1/2 " and that is just average or 50%. I guess basically, she is just a small kid. In fact, she has only gained a few ounces since her 12 mo. appt. so she literally is the same size. Actually, she is almost the same size as she was at 9 mo. I just found her paper from then. At that age she was 21 lbs. and 28 inches. Back then, she was considered a tad over average or in 60th percentile. Wow, that means she can still wear her summer clothes this year, hopefully!



In other news, Alie is now officially a walker. She can walk an average of 10 or more steps at a time since sunday. She has been doing more and more walking each day. I put her in dresses mostly, because she hates crawling in them. Her knees get stuck on them, so it forces her to walk. She can also say a few more words. She can now say "thank you" and some of her ABC's as well as sorta sing "Old McDonald" song. She only says the EIEIO part. Her favorite word is "Please". She says it like "peepeepee" sounding like a little chick. This is the word that she says the most, by far.
