More Pictures!!

Guess who has a birthday REAL soon!?!

All I can say is…. Wow, where did the time go! Whoever stole it, and made Allison grow up so fast, better run and hide! He He. This a very bitter sweet time for all of us because we want our little baby Allison to stay tiny but she is growing and is happy and healthy, and for that, we are very thankful! She is talking, running around everywhere (with the help from some extra hands). She is absolutely amazing and so excited about the upcoming year and enormous changes ahead!


I know I haven’t blogged in a little while but we have been busy at the Bogle household, mainly running around after our little bug and having a blast! Also, catching the “bug” a couple times and feeling a little under the weather. But we are all healthy now and ready for the New Year!! 2011 is going to be a great year, Allison’s 1st birthday, Kayden’s 1st birthday, Uncle Troy and Aunt Amanda’s wedding and Aunt Dana is turning the big 30! Also, very excited for my bestest friend Cydney and Dan. We should all feel so blessed and happy for the upcoming year.


So, you are probably wondering what has Allison been up to, what is she learning, her new favorite toys, her first Christmas and Santa visiting her home, what kind of field trips has she been on lately?? Well, you are in for a big treat with this update!


In November, the three of us went to Boyce Thompson Arboretum (where we had our maternity pictures taken) we had a little picnic and took some beautiful pictues of the fall leaves. It was very peaceful and it felt great to out with nature with not a worry in the world. Allison had a great time, climing on the windmill and walking the bridge with daddy. I wonder if she sensed any familiarity there?? LOL maybe not...

The weekend before Christmas, the Bogle's, Vaughn's and the Lounsbury's went to Encanto park to see one of Santa's helpers (obviously, not the real Santa, he is too busy this time of year) Allison and Kayden enjoyed the train ride, the carousel (Allison not so much)Aunt Dana, cousin Kayden, daddy and Allison slid down the snow hill and boy was mommy nervous!! It was a fun filled day!!

Allison's first Christmas was a great one, she had two Italian dinners! Enough said right? Just kidding! Well, we spent Christmas Even with GG and Adam, they rocked out to some Christmas tunes. Good food, good company, great day! Christmas day we headed to Tucson for Boglemas (I am borrowing that title from Aunt Amanda)and enjoyed more good food and lots of cookies! Allison loved the noodles and meatballs, you know she is part Italian for sure! We ended the trip at Grandma C's and Pappi's house, opened presents, and had lots of nice family time. We are thankful for all the blessings in our family and it was a great holiday weekend.


Patrick and I took the following week off of work to spend some quality family time together with Allison. It was so nice, sleeping in, no rushing around, just lots of cuddling and playtime for the three of us. One big highlight of the week was Grandma and Grandpa Bogle taking her to the Aquarium to see the fishies, shopping, and lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. They had a great time and mommy and daddy went on a date. We went out for Sushi and then went to the movies. It was just what we all needed! I dreaded going back to work, it miss being home with Allison!!


Allison is loving her new toys that Santa brought her, she is rocking out with her new piano keyboard and sipping on yummy tea with her new beauty and the beast play tea set. She will be entertained and busy playing for quite some time. We all would agree how great of a job she did with unwrapping her presents, we were all impressed!

Milestone Update:

Allison is doing so wonderfully well with her sign language. This week she has starting signing "more", "please", "milk", and she just started what we think is "all done". She is also saying "hi", "doggy", "bobby" (not sure who he is but he gots some esplaining to do)"mama", "dada" "pappi"

She also likes to bite, so watch out!! LOL We are so very proud of our little ladybug!

The next blog post will probably be after her birthday, so stay tuned for some great pictures from that!

Thank you all for being a part of Allison's life, you all have been a part of her growth and we love you for that!

Nighty Night Bloggers and Followers!!

Catching up with Allison!

Whew....where do I even begin!! I know most of you have seen the video of Allison crawling, since then she has increased her speed by like 10mph. We cannot turn our heads for even one second. She is pulling herself up on to tables, chairs, couches, her crib…whatever she can find! She is having so much fun being on the run.

It was the cutest thing ever, the other night we were playing tickle bug and was saying to her “ I am going to get you”, she opened her eyes really wide, busted up laughing and took off crawling. She knew exactly what game we were playing, she would look back to see where I was trailing and she just kept laughing and trying to get away!! Oh my gosh, it makes me laugh out loud just telling the story. She is just so darn cute and funny!

Bug keeps her teacher at school laughing all day, she is the entertainer at school and is making new friends all the time! If Allison doesn’t give her teachers “the finger” they ask me is she is feeling okay. I guess the finger is a statement of her mood…lol! You know you are loved when she gives you the finger.

Bug had her first “incident report” at school, she was playing at the balance bar, looking at her cute face in the mirror and apparently feeling like a dare devil and let go of the bar and bonked her forehead on the mirror. She had a little bruise but she was back up and playing in no time.

OH… Another huge milestone… Allison is now waving “bye-bye”!! We were leaving school yesterday and waved to Ms. Pam, it melted my heart and Ms. Pam’s. Allison completely amazes us every day, she is just an absolute joy!

Every day Allison is talking more, and I am pretty sure she called me mama and not just babbling the words. She was crawling over to me, pulling herself up on my legs and said “mama”… it brought tears to my eyes. Such a proud mama moment!!

Allison is starting to adjust to her new house, the first week was a bit rough. Not only a new environment but she was cutting her 3rd and 4th tooth. Yep, she now has 4 teeth, two bottom and two top. So the last two weeks mommy and daddy have been very tired and have spent too much money on coffee..haha! Daddy’s back is a little stiff from sleeping on the couch with Allison. All worth it though, soon she will be sleeping all by herself and we will want those nights back ;) Even when you are exhausted, and maybe at your wits end, nothing is better than starring at the sweet face of your baby sleeping on your chest. Ahhh… I could go on and on but I will save it for another time..LOL!

So, Halloween is creeping upon us…. Watch for pictures of lady in her first Halloween costume, she is going to be so cute! I hope she allows me to put the costume on her without too much of a fight, she is getting very vocal when it comes time to dress her, if she had it her way, she would be in her birthday suit all day …hehe!

Allison is having such a great time in music class, now that she is mobile, she is crawling around visiting the music teacher and other music friends. She really enjoys the songs, we listen to them every day on our way home from school and while playing at home. Few more years and she will be playing the piano with Grandma Cindy.

Bug is such a foodie, just like her mommy and daddy! She loves snack time at school and whenever her friends are eating and she is not, she thinks they are eating her food! LOL She is now eating solid foods three times a day, and we have just added in snack times. Yum! This week she had eggplant for the first time and absolutely loved it! I can’t wait until she can help us cook, maybe I will get her a little chef hat, how cute would that be!?!

Oh and check out the pictures of her and CK (Cousin Kayden) too adorable for words! We all had a great time playing together while his mommy and daddy went on a date.

I know there is so much more but mommy has to go make babyfood for her little ladybug! Hope you are all having a wonderful week and Happy Halloween!!

Goodnight and sleep tight!
