Slow down!!

Is there a pause button on life? I am so looking forward to the holidays when I can be at home with my little peanut. She is growing up so fast!

Here she is "talking"

And here is her latest progress on crawling. In about 3 days she figured it out and now she is a mad women! My mom had to put up blockades all over the place today to keep her from getting into things. How does it all change so fast??

and today....

She's growing up so fast!!!

Bets are now being accepted for when Allison is going to walk!! She figured out how to move her hands with her legs. She was actually crawling yesterday at my Mom's, this video doesn't really show it, but I'll get it and post it soon!

5 Months!

Here, she is, 5 months old already! She is sitting up so much better than in her other month pictures! We had to lean the chair back or prop her up with the stuffed animals. Now she can sit on her own.

Her Uncle Benjamin made her a hat

Here she is in one of her favorite toys as of late. She loves to jump! And her baby legs are just too cute.She is such a happy baby

She now likes to hold her own bottle

The gang, notice Allison pulling Alyssa's hair. Alyssa is the first person with long hair that Allison is around. She thought Jason was pulling it.

Fun Tidbits

Allison loves to sit on her Dad's shoulders. Her favorite thing to do is feel his hair, it is short and it is so cute!!! She's just chillin watching her some Baby Einstein

More Family

Allison got to meet another Great Grandmother last weekend. My Grandma and Aunt came down to meet our little princess and they also got to see Jonathan march. Aunt Joanne got to stay at our house which was nice, and Grandma stayed right down the street with my parents. Allison performed all her tricks for them and we are so glad they got to come see us! We will be staying in the South for Christmas this year (something we haven't done since we have been married) so it was nice to see them.

In other news the Coppell Band is going to state!! YEA!!! Yesterday was the Area marching contest and all though we couldn't go, Dad kept us informed of everything that was going on. They performed at 3:15 the first time, and they qualified for finals that night. (I think there were about 17 bands in the first round and they took 6 for the second round that night) Coppell was the last band to perform that night (9:15pm) and 3 bands qualified to go to state. Coppell got 1st place!!! The state marching contest will be in San Antonio this year, so they will miss a few days of school (Nov 4th is the actual contest) I remember traveling to Austin my freshman year for state and I think my Junior year it was in Waco. Fun times! It's exciting to see Jonathan getting to experience all the things Benjamin and I got to do. He sure is growing up!!

On the Move

Well she is officially creeping. Sometimes it is more creeping/crawling. But she is for sure on the move!!

She's eating "real" Food!!

Ok, so not really this solid yet! :) We were at Wing Stop and she needed something to entertain her. So she nawed on a carrot stick. Pretty stikin cute!!

Ok, this was the real first time she ate "food." We gave her cereal first. She loved it! She never even spit it out. By the end of that first feeding she was opening her mouth for the next bite.

Then we started her on Sweet Potatos. It was a little messier, but she's an eating machine!

Who me?
