Eating Sideways

This little munchkin eats all of her food sideways.  All of the crackers go straight up and down in her mouth and her sandwiches/bread go parallel with her face, like she is eating through the middle of the bread.  Silly Kiddo.

Kind of weird and kind of cute, just like her mom!

Here are some other random pictures that I have had on my camera ready to be blogged.  We took Mike to go see the Horse Farm since we went without him last time.  

 I think this one is my favorite

Let Them Eat Cake!

There are some kids who don't like to get messy.... well, I don't have one of those. Allie loved her cake to the fullest - eating half and wearing half. She loved getting all messy and just squished it around. I think the pictures tell the story a bit better.

She took a much needed mid-party bath before presents

Allie is 1!!!!

This year has gone by so quickly; it seems like yesterday she was just born. We have quickly gone from this picture, to this!

(although this is my usual view of her, running away!)

These are a few of our favorite things we love about Allie:

-loves to play chase around the couch

-loves to be scared

-loves to empty out baskets, dryers, laundry baskets

-loves to read books, even if she moans the whole time (video to come soon)

-still doesn’t like her carseat

-loves her blankie GG shaw made for her

-loves to eat peas, fishes, and anything we are eating,

-would live outside if we let her

-gets really excited and inhales really loud and long

-is content to play by herself unless I am in the kitchen and then insists on being picked up so she can see what I am doing.

-loves to open caps/ lids with her teeth

-always wants to see everything and will pull up on tables/counters to peek over the edge

-likes to brush her teeth (chew on the toothbrush and suck on the toothpaste)

-still sometimes eats paper

-loves stuffed animals and gives them hugs whenever she sees one

-doesn’t like to be behind a closed door – wants her options open

-doesn’t need much sleep and likes to wake up early

-always, without fail, takes her shoes off while in her car seat, and if it if a long ride the socks come off as well

-can sign for bird, water/drink, all done, lights, and says mom and dad, this and kitty and dog

We just love our Allie. She is such a happy, smart, friendly baby and we could not even imagine life without her. Happy Birthday Allie, we love you!
