Grandma and Granddad came for a visit in September. Some of the highlights:
Allison loved to hold Granddad’s finger and walk him around the house. She also had a blast going to the park and playing with them!
Allison had a blast “painting” with cornsyrup and food coloring. She also loved coloring a big box with markers. Then we cut some holes in the box and found out what fit inside the holes. You’ve got to love cheap fun!
Dan and I were outside on the porch doing a little bit of fix-up work and Allison decided to entertain us. We thought it was hilarious!
In September, we were able to capture some more of Allison’s favorite things to do. She loves to put shoes on the mat, “help” mommy sweep, remove (and sometimes replace) the circles in the Spanish classroom, play on playgrounds, wear Mr. Potato Head toys, wear bracelets (and favorite for several months now), and play with her babies!
Here are some more of Allison’s favorite things from the summer:
1) Giving HUGS! She walked up to kids and adults alike to give them a hug (and often times it’s a leaning hug with no hands).
2)”Helping” mommy with the laundry.
3) Wearing the Wii remotes as bracelets.
4) Pushing friends on her little car.
5) Playing with toys in the Spanish classroom.
6) Wearing lots and LOTS of bracelets!
7) Playing with these rubber circles (we’re not sure why they were a favorite).
Brushing her teeth.
9) Drinking the water in the pool.
10) Playing with DVDs. She tried to hold as many as she could at a time.
11) Wearing mommy’s shoes!
Here are some silly/sweet pictures from August.
This summer these were some of Allison’s favorite things to do:
1) “Milk” her sippy cups of water. This made for some wet messes on the floor.
2) Stand in the little hole of her car. She is our little daredevil!
3) Turn upside down and look between her legs — so funny!
4) Play in the pool (she would have been out there every day all day if we let her).
5) Put rings on her arms (even while sleeping)!
Grandma and Granddad stayed for a few days after Allison’s birthday in July. She had lots of fun showing off all of her toys.
The weekend of Allison’s birthday we had LOTS of family in town — Nana, Papa J., Uncle Ryan, Grandma, and Granddad. It was fun and Allison loved being the life of the party.
My mom and dad (aka Nana and Papa) came the week prior to Allison’s birthday. We had fun playing in the water, going for walks, playing cards, going to the zoo, and just hanging out.
