Allison's Birth ......Day!

So today Allison turned 1!!! At 8:08am.....of course...we were all still in bed at this time, it's Saturday and Daddy has the day off, so our plans were to either go to the Pumpkin Patch or to the Kansas City Zoo.....but our plans have been foiled....as it has been raining cats and dogs all morning. They said that it shouldn't last into the afternoon, but even if it does stop raining, it will be way too muddy to try to find a pumpkin or two today. Maybe we'll just head to the Kansas City Plaza and have a nice dinner, just the 3 of us....and if weather permits....take a horse drawn carriage ride around the city. I've always wanted to do this, and I think Allison would really enjoy it, looking at all the lights (best time is Christmas, when all the Christmas trees and lights are up).

So we aren't really sure what we our going to do today. Just kind of depends on the rain.

We celebrated with Chuck's Dad's family this past Tuesday night at Chuck E Cheese and had a blast. Allison friend, Dawson, was there with his mommy and brother and sister. So we had a good time and had some yummy pizza.

This year has gone by extremely fast and can't believe that our baby girl is one! She has grown so much....she's come along way from 7lbs 10oz.....weighing in probably around 20lbs. I'm pretty sure she's going to be a tall scrawny girl.

She's now just a lil squirt....trying to walk as fast as she can, especially when mommy or daddy chases her down. She really enjoys looking at herself in mirrors and reading her textures books (ones with hair, fur, scales, leather, etc)

She still loves The Backyardigans and is now in love with The Upside Down Show (if you are a parent or maybe even a grandparent, you have to catch this show) The show really gets Allison into a daze as the 2 guys play imaginary things.

Every time the song "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake playes, she does a little dance and giggles so hard.

Her favorite spot to lay is on her puppy Kirby's tummy and on the doggy bed.

She's pretty much mastered the cell phone, knowing how to turn the phone back on after I've tured it off. She says hi and hello and even holds the phone up to her ear. She really enjoys it when grandmas and grandpa call to say hi and she won't let mommy have the phone back, only to accidently hang up on them.

We've just started using her sippy cups and seems to enjoy it, especially the Apple juice. Right now I would have to say her favorite food is anything beef! She really likes hamburger and of course...spaghetti.

Wow....a lot has happened in one year! Can't wait to see what is in store for us this next year!

So....to our baby girl....HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY......we love you so much!
