Allison has found her lovie

I was begining to think Allison wasnt going to choose a lovie.  I found out last night she has! She had wanted her pink silky soft blanket in the living room early in the day and then she woke up last night and nothing would do until she got her blanket! As soon as she got it she calmed down and fell asleep!

TWO steps!!!

Allison took two steps today! We were in my bedroom and I was sitting on the bed putting my socks on and she was crusing down the bed to me and she started just standing there and I held out my hands to her and she took the two steps!! I was so excited I scooped her up and she just looked at me like what?? lol!! Now we will see how long it will be before she will do it again!! She is really enjoying just standing there all by herself!! Such a big girl!!!

Standing up!!

Allison stood up all by herself today!! She is getting so good at it! She wasnt scared today when she did it.  She just slowly sat back down after a bit. 

On the couch, and outside!

Here are a few pics of Allison doing her new favorite thing.  Playing on the couch with the remotes! She will come over to me like she wants to snuggle but then she pulls back and smiles and falls over on the couch! If I put her down then a fit it promised! She is getting way too good with these fits! I am talking about kicking and screaming fits! A picture Lauren took! It has been nice outside in the evening so we have been going out swinging and playing! I let Allison slide down the slide with my help and she just sat there and didnt know what to think about the grass.  As you can see she isnt a fan! She wouldnt put her other foot down!!

Allison is 10 months and Lauren gets a mani/pedi!

Yesterday Allison turned 10 months! Time to start thinking about her first birthday party! I am hoping to do some outdoor pics this week.  We will see how it works out! Allison is all over the place! She has gotten to where she will start crawling really fast and just keep her head down.  I am afraid she is going to run into something! She is now "talking" up a storm! She did say Dada this morning!! She still hasnt realized that if she wants to stand up alone she can.  It is amazing at how she can entertain herself.  She loves her toys! And Lauren's toys!!

Yesterday Mom came over and we did some shopping.  We also went and got pedicures and we picked up Lauren and let her get her nails and toenails painted!!

Dance starts again!

Lauren started dance again yesterday! I actually forgot to get a picture of her! She has the same teacher as she did in the summer but just all new classmates.  She said she had a good time yesterday!

Maybe changing preschool classrooms! I got a letter in yesterday from the preschool saying they are changing Lauren to another classroom.  I am actually waiting right now to see if she will stay in the room she has already been to once or the new one.  If it is the new one there will only be one other little girl in the room she knows.  The preschool really screwed up something this year when it came to putting kids in the classes appartently!

Allison is "talking" up a storm now! She still prefers to say mamamama!! But we have been working with her on saying dada.  Jon says he thinks she has said it a few times.  Allison has still been getting up once everynight.  We might have two days a week I dont have to get up with her.  I really dislike being woke up! I sure hope she grows of it soon!

The girls were playing with the keyboard and microphone and I thought for sure it was Lauren making noises into the microphone but it was Allison! They sound so much alike!
