Happy Birthday Daddy!!

We had a busy day yesterday and I forgot to give Adam a Happy Birthday blog! Allie drew on his card first thing, then we all had lunch together. We also went to Emily F.'s graduation last night and we went out to eat after, at Casa Manana. Nancy and Dad secretly told the waitress that it was Adam's birthday and they sang to him. It was great fun! (At least I thought so)

This picture is from the other day, Adam was eating the last of a chocolate Easter bunny, and Allie was following it all the way to his mouth. It was very cute!!

Allie's new car

So many posts in one day, I'm glad Allie's taking a long nap!! I have been wanting to get Allie this car for a couple of months. She is having a great time with it here are a few pictures of us putting it together..........and her playing with it.

The body of the car came basically already together. Allie picked up the steering wheel after we'd poured the parts everywhere and stuck it in the car where it belonged. She must be taking after Adam and his dad and like to put things together!!

Pop got the car together well enough for her to ride in it 'til her Daddy could finish it.

Riding in the car

The finished product...... she LOVES this car!!

Allie's so much fun!

I have so much to put in because I haven't blogged in way too long...................

Allie took all of her toys in this basket out, then she sat and pointed at her animals (like she wanted them in there too). She stayed in this basket for a very long time.
Allie's tent...

I walked into the kitchen and got a sip of water. When I came back in this is what I saw. Allie has been climbing A LOT lately, but her getting on the coffee table was a first......she is getting so big!!

You'll hear me asking Allie to do these things, but she is making muscles and swimming in this video. It's quite humerous!

Aunt Tara's graduation

Last weekend we (Adam's parents, Allie & me) went to Tyler for Tara's graduation. She had a pinning ceremony on Thursday and graduation on Friday. We had a good time seeing Tara, Dustin and Duke (the dog) and meeting some of Tara's friends.

SWIM, SWIM,SWIMMING!!

Allie started swimming lessons the first week in May! She is doing so well. And to clarify, she is only wearing bottoms (swim diapers) because by the time we bought them and signed paperwork, we had to rush into the pool because class had started without us!! She has gone under several times and "swam" to me. We are having a blast! I'll post more swimming pics as we take them! These pictures are from our first lesson, she did not cry at all until it was time to go and I took her out of the pool!

Sliding to me, she now goes under when she slides off.

Allie's 1st weekend without me =)

Adam and I went on our first little getaway without Allie the first weekend in May. We went to Natchitoches and had a wonderful time.

Allie stayed with her Maw Maw Karen, and had her own fabulous time and never even noticed we were gone. They went and visited Maw Maw Hilda and went to the Farmer's Market and out to lunch. Here is a picture of her in her baby pool, she was practicing before her swimming lessons!

Posing in her nightgown...

Sunbathing in Maw Maw's chair, soon after this Mom decided she needed her own chair!

No pics...just Allie news

We are SOOOOO excited......Allie is starting swimming lessons NEXT week. We'll post pictures after our class!! Our next door neighbor has a pool, and today we went outside and were visiting with them and Allie was dying to get in. Hopefully she'll feel the same way next week!! Y'all have a great weekend!

Also Allie turned 18 months on April 29, and we went for her check up. She weighs 27 lbs 7.75 oz and is 33 3/4 inches long!! She's getting so big!!
