Take Me Out To The Ball Game...




Bug attended her very first sporting event this past weekend, she joined mommy and friends for some birthday fun! Good food, Great friends and family, and of course the fabulous cupcakes. She even sported a DiamondBacks t-shirt to show her support! A great time was had by all!

Pretty in Pink!!




Look how adorable she is in her little tutu that Grandma Cindy got for her. She was a true little lady in the outfit, and managed to keep it on until all the guests arrived for the party, a true lady of party etiquette in my opinion!! Proud mama for sure!

Mama's little helper!






With her OWN rolling pin and spoons in hand, lady bug was such a big helper with baking cupcakes for Amanda and Troy's engagnement gift. We had a great time, she really wanted to lick the spoon but her and mommy both resisted and saved it for daddy.

Check out the finished product, I must say they turned out pretty good (pat on back). Chocolate cupcakes with whopper frosting (Aunt Amanda's favorite chocolate candy) with a splash of color to highlight their wedding colors.

What's new with Sweet Lady






Sorry, we haven’t posted anything in a couple weeks. Life happened and Mama has been feeling a little under the weather. Has anyone else been a victim of the wishy washiness of Mother Nature?? But when she decides, look out!! Mama’s gonna knock you out!! ( Anyone remember LL Cool J ) Sorry, couldn’t help myself… hehe.

So, Miss Allison has been keeping busy with some new toys, shapes in a box (which she prefers empty at all times), and her new drums and learning the guitar with daddy. She is becoming very vocal and loves to reach for anything in sight! And she will surely let you know if there is something she wants and can’t reach. She has mastered the art of grunting and rolling her rrrr’s until she gets it.

Bug has been doing so great with eating, new items on the menu are; carrots and lentils. She isn’t quite taking to the sippy cup just yet but, she does like to drink from it without the lid. She wants to drink like mommy and daddy, it is so cute! It poors down the front of her shirt but you can see and hear the gulps and then all smiles on her face.

School Time
Monkey see Money do?? Now picture this…. The little guys in her class are scooting and crawling around the room. Allison is watching them so intensely, and really focused ( she has the same focus face as her mama, WE MEAN BUSINESS) strategizing on “ how are they doing that”… can you can see the wheels turning!?! We love it!

And after all that time watching those little guys and reaching for the objects that are on the "no,no" list, she rolled over!! She was so proud of herself, she looked at me and then gave me a big smile. I was so excited and proud of her and couldn't wait for daddy to get home to witness her great achievement.

Check out her pictures of her sitting in the grocery cart, does the facial expression not tell a story of fun times!?! She was a little apprehensive at first, but she soon warmed up to it and enjoyed her new found freedom…. WHEEEeeee!!!
