Pictures of the Birthday Girl!

I tried getting some cute pictures of Allie the morning of her birthday, but because she is a busy little baby, they didn't turn out as fantastic as I would have like....even still, you can see why we think she's so adorable... ;)
"Get this thing off my head"....LOL. She only keeps her headbands on for a split second before she's pulling them off....
Love the smile...
This one makes me giggle just looking at it....look at her crazy hair...it's sticking up further than the black flower....
Ok, Mom....if you don't want me pulling off my hair bow, then I'll just eat the toy...
Love our little Allie!! (more birthday pics to come)

One Year Ago Today...




...our beautiful little lady joined our family. Allie has been the perfect addition, too! Allie is absolutely adored by her two big sisters, she gets smothered in kisses regularly from her two big brothers, she has a Daddy that thinks she is the prettiest thing around, and a Mommy who feels so blessed to have this sweet little girl as part of our family!
Allie has grown so much....like all babies during the first year. But, some of her "big" accomplishments are: walking (not all the time, but she can take about 5-6 steps before falling, while giggling her head off!), she has 10 teeth, including her top 2 molars that just grew in, she has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 1/2 months old, she has the cutest crawl in the entire world (if you've seen her crawl, you know exactly what I'm talking about), she loves to babble & can mimic "mama" and "baba" (bottle). Allie also loves to blow raspberries, loves to eat mac & cheese, applesauce, yogurt, bagels, diced pears, and any type of noodle, really.
We are so glad our Allie-cat is part of our family! Happy 1st Birthday, little lady!! We love you more than you will ever know!!!
