My 1st Birthday Cake

At my MaMa and PaPa Allison's I had my first 1st birthday party. My cousins, aunts, and uncles were all there.
This was my first birthday cake and my first taste of chocolate. I loved them both!!
I had a great time!!

Monkey Cupcakes

My mommy and daddy made these cute cupcakes for my monkey birthday party.

Hey Everybody!!

I hope that this finds all of you doing well. I have been growing and changing quite a bit since the last update! I am crawling all over, standing up, walking along everything, getting in to everything and even took a few steps on my own yesterday. I am going to be 11 months old next week. Can you believe it? I'm having a great time discovering the world and all the things that go along with it. I have really enjoyed being able to go outside now that the weather is getting nicer. Take care and thanks for checking in on me!! 

I think my mom caught me!!

I love crawling up and down on my little chair. I'm not supposed to do it though!! 

I love crawling under things and through things and I love my new tunnel. I got it from my Aunt Pat for my 1st birthday a little early. I love it!!! 

My first big boy bike ride!!

We got a new trailer for my mommy and daddy's bike. I looked around for the first 15 minutes but then I fell asleep. I sure did have a got time though!! 

My first shampoo mohawk!!

 

Walking man!!

I love to walk with my little walker. Since this picture I have even taken a few steps on my own. 

A man on the move!

This is me on my 10 month birthday. My mommy was trying to get me to sit still but I don't like to sit still. 

I'm getting so big!!!

 

Waiting fior Daddy to get home.

I like to stand here when it is almost time for my daddy to get home. 

From here to there and everywhere!!

Since the last update of my blog I have a busy little guy. I started out traveling to Indiana, then back to Illinois, then to Montana, then back to Illinois, then to Arizona, and finally home again. I have been on so many plane rides that my parents think I should start collecting my own frequent flier miles. Between all the traveling I got to spend time with all of my family and play with all of my cousins. I sure do wish I could see all of them more often. While I was in Montana I got my second tooth-ouch!! I also learned how to pull up on the furniture which is more fun than you could ever believe. Since I've been home, I've mastered crawling and getting into everything. Do you know how many squares there are on a roll of toilet paper? I pulled one the other day to find out and there are a lot!!! I also went to the doctor for my 9 month check up and he said that I'm doing great and couldn't be any healthier. So, I hope that your new year has started off as well as mine and that you discover new things everyday just like me. Most importantly, I hope that all of you are doing well, laughing a lot, and are happy and healthy! Love you all!!

From Montana to Phoenix!!

After the chilly weather in Montana we headed to Phoenix to see Stone and warm up. I had so much fun playing with Stone and being outside!!! We are certainly going to be double trouble someday soon! 

The game wasn't great but the band was!!

While we were in Phoenix we all went to watch the Ohio State marching band! I thought they were really cool and Stoen loved it too!! 

I LOVE snow!!!

I had so much fun playing in the snow!!! I went sledding all by myself and just laughed and laughed!!! 

Montana Christmas!

I headed to Montana on Christmas morning to have Christmas with my Gran, Grandpa, and my other cousins. Grace, Audrey, and I got to go on a sleigh ride and it was so much fun!! We loved playing in the snow and sledding!! 

Two Peas in a Pod

Only my cousin Riley and I could look this cute in matching hats and scarves!! Thanks Aunt Dee!

Allison Christmas

I celebrated Christmas with my MawMaw and PawPaw and my cousins the weekend before Christmas. I had so much fun playing with everyone!!! 

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

I hope that all of you have enjoyed watching me grow in 2006. I have changed much and had so much fun. My 2007 is starting off just as exciting. I will be in Montana with my Gran, Grandpa, and cousins. Then I'm off to Phoenix to see Stone and my daddy is going to cheer on the Buckeyes at the BCS game. My mommy's New Years resolution is to update the blog more often. I have a good feeling she is really going to try! My family and I hope that all of you and your family have a wonderful holiday and a safe, happy, and healthy 2007!!!
 

My 1st Christmas Present

I figured ou thow to ripe the paper and eat it too!!! I think I'm going to like Christmas!!! Thanks for my hippo Aunt Katie!! 

Can you believe the things my dad lets my mom put on me? 

This is how much I LOVE my Christmas tree!!!!!

 

Aren't I cute???

 

My 1st Christmas tree

I helped my daddy cut down my first Christmas tree. We went Christmas tree hunting on a warm day in November which allowed us to look at about 40 of the 42 acres of trees. We found the prefect one and I love it!!! 

Happy turkey day!!!

I spent my 1st Thanksgiving at my Maw Maw and Paw Paws house. All my aunts, uncles, and cousins were there to play with me. I didn't get to try the turkey but I did taste some cool whip. I think I'll like it even better next year when I get to eat more!!!
