My New Bows

Our good friend Erin has made me some new hairbows. We are all set now. Here are a few pictures of me in my new hair accessories. Thanks so much Erin, we love them!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY

A year ago today, we were the proudest parents! Still today we are even prouder as we have the best baby girl ever. She has truly blessed our lives in so many ways. From her facial expression, to her sweet voice, we cherish her every sound. From her rolling over to now trying so hard to walk across the living room, we cherish her every move. From her belly ache cries, to those pure out temper cries, we cherish the fact that we get to comfort her while we wipe away her tears. She is just amazing.

Sadly though, we had to take her to the doctor on her birthday. She had to get three shots, which of course she did not like. She has slow down quite a bit in growth. She was 29 inches long and weighed 22 lbs 4 oz. NO MORE FORMULA. She is completely on whole milk now, which at times is a struggle to get it down her. She isn't much on the cold milk. So we are warming it for a while and we'll see what happens. She is still quite the eater though, with her favorite food being anything off the table. More importantly whatever it is that Mommy and Daddy are eating. She loves grilled cheese.

She has become very interested in "kitties." Therefore, we are contemplating on getting a house kitty for Miss Ally. We still haven't convinced Daddy yet. We celebrated Ally's birthday this morning by taking her to Chuckie Cheese. Although, there weren't many rides or toys for small ones, Ally enjoyed the few. She also got to open one of her presents. We got her a pink baby laptop considering she always wants our computers. She loved it. In fact, threw a little fit while Daddy was trying to get it out of the box. She also took a 3 hour nap on her birthday. That's the sure way to spend your birthday. We will continue celebrating her birthday with her big party on Saturday! Thanks to all for Ally's birthday wishes. She's very lucky to be loved by so many!

Fun Day at the Zoo

Today we enjoyed a day at the Nashville Zoo. Ally enjoyed all the animals. She especially enjoyed the petting zoo, except for the camel, which she cried when she touched. She also was still a bit scared in the reptile exhibit. She didn't care much for the HUGE turtles swimming up close to the glass. She loved the elephants considering Daddy has taught her to make the elephant sound. The best part was that we got to spend the day with all the cousins, Aunt Amy, Uncle Chris and Nana and Papaw.

This is Ally touching a goat.

This is where we thought about leaving all the kids! They probably would have fit in just fine. (no just kidding)
