Allie walking

Allie's elephant (see below) has truly inspired her to walk. She'll do whatever it takes to get to her new little friend (who is a little bigger than her). Here is a quick video of her taking a few steps to get to the elephant. She also gives him kisses towards the end of the video. She is so sweet!!

Allie's Elephant

Everyone who has seen Allie lately knows that she LOVES doing the elephant. So the other day while shopping I happened upon a big fun elephant for her to play with. It's a Christmas present, but since she doesn't know when Christmas is we gave it to her Friday. It is her FAVORITE!! We named him Sprouts....isn't he cute?

Snow Baby

Well this is pretty late in the snow day we had last Thursday morning. I hated to wake her up!! But here is what was left at about 8 a.m. Adam was snowed in at the Houston airport, so he saw plenty of snow there, but it was all melted by the time he made it back home! I guess in the next couple of years we'll have to take a winter vacation to somewhere snowy!!

Allie and friends

Allie and Lauren (Allie's new bff, Melanie's step-daughter) hanging out by the Christmas tree at Melanie's.

We went to see Amanda's new baby Owen last week. Here are Allie and Noah (Owen's big brother) playing with his camera. He was SO good with her. Isn't he so cute? Today is his birthday party and I'm so sad we aren't going to be able to make it back to Baton Rouge =( Hope you have a great time Noah!!

Baby Dedication

We had baby dedication at our church last month. Here is a pic of Allie in her dress.

Allie & cousins

Brandon (my stepbrother) and his family came in for Thanksgiving and we went and had Christmas pictures taken with Allie, Graham (younger brother) and Reed. Aren't they sweet? Allie was running 101 fever at that point, so her cheeks look a little rosy =)
