Baby???

Well, I thought that Aly was okay with the whole "baby" idea. She's been playing with her baby dolls A LOT! Here's a picture that I captured of her rocking, patting and singing to her babies.

We even moved everything out of her old room and started talking about getting it ready for the baby.

Then we have started getting her new room put together. She's been sleeping in her new bed (my old daybed set) and enjoying having drawers that she can open (no safety locks!) and get out her clothes. She even helps put away her laundry! I'm liking that!

Then, one day, she decided share that she now had TWO rooms! She had a "Dora Room" (because there use to be a Dora sheet on her toddler bed) and a "Flower Room". We've tried to again explain that her old room is going to be for the baby, but I guess until we get the crib back up, she'll continue to thing that she has her own suite on that side of the house!

Daddy's Girl

Well, Daddy was mowing the lawn and so Aly thought that she would "help"! So, she got out her mower and started pushing it around the lawn - proud as can be! What is she wearing you might ask?! Prior to Daddy mowing, Mommy had returned from buying Aly some new things for this upcoming fall & winter. After showing everything to her before washing, she decided that she wanted to wear her new fall vest, winter hat and boots (for most of the afternoon)....I guess that means she approves of mommy's taste!

Little Lady

Aly has really grown up duingthe last month into a "Little Lady"....it's been hard to face the realization that she is growing up so fast! A few weeks ago, we spent time with my family in Michigan and Aly was all about doing the "big kid" things. Her weekend favorite was canoeing with her daddy! In the last week or so, she has....1) moved to her new "big girl" room and is sleeping in my old daybed! {...As we start to get her old room back to a nursery.} 2) asked to have her toenails painted like mommy {this really got me....my baby wanting to be all grown up! She sat really still and was all about having pretty toes!} and 3) she has offically become potty-trained! {since she started about 10+ weeks ago, she was having a few accidents a week} NOW she's our "Little Lady"! Good thing I have another baby on the way!

New Family Website

I had a baby website for Aly, but now that our family is expanding, I've been trying to get this site going. I started it last November (which I deleted old posts) and haven't gotten very far. I've been trying to reformat the page, but it's been a long time since either one of us have done html formating! So, I'll keep this site updated....for those of you who have been on me :) but look for it to have a face lift before too long!
