February Fun

Here are just a few pictures of our Saturday and what Allie is into lately.
1. Bubbles! I was the one blowing the bubbles so I could not get a picture of her playing with the bubbles, but she loves them.
2. Leaves, or anything that is on the ground including pine needles, rocks, dirt, plans, etc. We will be walking around outside and she will let go of our hand (which she rarely holds), stop, and pick up a leaf to carry around the rest of the time. She is such and explorer; she is always wandering off to go chase after a cat or to go find a cool leaf. I think we are going to have to keep on our toes in the near future.
3. Her newest desire is to climb under/through everything. Her most recent is to climb through the chairs. When we are sitting down on the couch, she will try and crawl under our legs or under our backs when we are sitting on the floor. She just has to see if she can fit.
4. Whenever I take pictures now, this is what happens. She is into attacking the camera and wants to see the pictures on the back after I take the picture.
5. Her first sucker. I found this sucker in the dollar section of Target so I thought it would be cute to take some pictures. She ended up biting our chunks so it didn't last long.
I just loved this one. She will be 1 year old in less than a month! Crazy! She is not my little baby anymore.

T-minus 3 months and counting

We have the graduation bug in our home already, and now Allie has joined the ranks. Mike got a t-shirt from a conference that has this saying on the front, but it was an xl. So, I decided to copy their idea and make a little shirt for Allie to show her pride for her almost-pharmacist dad. I think it turned out pretty cute!
(bad pictures, but it is quite rainy today so we could not go outside)

Good Bye, my Silpat

Meet my Silpats. I have had the one on the right since high school and it has been well loved as you can see. I have made countless cookies and such on her; she went through all of my college years and more. Sadly, the hole she had in her was getting too large, so for my birthday this year I got a new one! If you have not had a chance to use Silpat, I would HIIGHLY recommend one! You don't ever have to use cooking spray and cookies never burn.

Christmas Eve 2009

Christmas Eve is very special in the Shaw home, full of traditions that might be a bit quirky, but are Christmas to us. We listen to Alabama Christmas, eat homemade enchiladas, get jammies and listen to Pixie in the Chimney. We love it!
The first part of this video is of Allie in her Christmas Eve outfit, and of her walking and signing at GG Naylor's house.

Sledding Time

Mike wanted to take Allie sledding the whole time we were in Utah and we ended up with perfect sledding weather the day before we left. We went with my Mom and Kevin and Ty. Everyone had such a fun time and there were no tears! Allie loved sledding, and I think we have another family member who will LOVE roller coasters!
