10 Months

Yikes! Where's the pause button?? I can't believe how much our little Ally Oop has changed this month. She finally got her first tooth, and two more were quick to follow. Her beautiful golden hair was long enough to put in legitimate pigtails, and I'm thankful I got a picture because she was also the recipient of her first unauthorized haircut from her father. Grrrr.....


The day after I wrote that she wasn't crawling much, she was all over the place. Will thinks she crawls about 5 miles a day, and that's probably an understatement! She can pull herself up to stand on just about anything, and already loves to climb. Unfortunately, her ambition sometimes gets ahead of her skill, which has resulted in a seemingly permanent bruise on her forehead. Her favorite travel destinations are the dishwasher and the trampoline.


Sophia and Ally are having a lot more fun together. They both love it when Sophia lies down in Ally's path making Ally crawl over her. They also love to play in the princess castle and do simple fun kid stuff.



I thought I'd be cheering when Ally decided to walk, but I didn't consider the possibility that she'd be an early walker. Unfortunately, she REALLY wants to follow in her big sister's footsteps. All she wants to do now is walk behind her push toys or walk holding our hands.
*sigh* It makes me sad to think that my baby will be a toddler soon.

Mother's Day Program

For Mothers Day, Sophia's preschool put on a special program called "Hats Off to Moms." Sophia had warned me far in advance that she would not sing because she is "just a young kid," and she held true to her word!
She said she'll participate when she's 4, so I guess we'll see what happens next year. Geema and I still had fun watching Sophia with her classmates, and we all enjoyed ice cream afterwards.


Sophia also presented me with some very special gifts, including this sweet little project:
I plan on keeping this one because I'm sure it'll still make me smile years from now!
