Well, Chris got special prescription safety glasses for work and he brought them home to show them off. We thought Allison looked so cute in them...
Allison LOVES to drive (well, pretend to drive). We went to Red Robin the other night and I could hardly get her away from the game room - she just wanted to play on the driving games all night. She's such a cute kid.
Once again, Allison loves to be outside. I can't wait for it to warm up a little more so we can be out ALL the time. I love that Allison is so mobile now and can explore all kinds of things. It can be a pain at times when I want to go inside and she does not, but we're working on getting her to listen!
We went to Burfoot Park in Olympia the other day with Chris' Dad, Stepmother and Brother-In-Law. Chris' dad found a little crab and Allison was all about playing with the little thing. I'm sure that will be TOTALLY different in a couple of years.
Just a cute picture of Allison and Haley. It's so fun to get to see them together at church every week and see how they get along. It makes me feel better about dropping her off with them every day.
Okay, just a funny picture. We went to Whidbey Island last Sunday for my cousin's kid's baptism. It was a LONG drive and Allison was ready to be done before we even got there. She did pretty good, but it was a good thing that we didn't have to drive home that night and got to stay in Bellevue (more about that later). Sidse, this picture is for you!
This is what prompted me to post tonight....I was cleaning the kitchen and Allison wanted on the counter. She said she wanted to wash her hands so I turned on the water for her. Well, within a few minutes she was soaked up to her waist and her hair had gotten quite wet as well. The counter was covered with water but she had a lot of fun - I didn't even mind cleaning up after her mess...
I wish I could have gotten a picture of her sitting in the sink (she did that for awhile as well) but the best we could do was this....it took me quite awhile to get her to get off the counter. It was just way too much fun!
Well, hopefully you guys like pictures of Allison because that's all we seem to post....she's really all that matters anyway. Things are going great for us. Chris' job is still going well and we are so grateful for that blessing. It looks like we may actually get the option of me staying home and having more babies - something I NEVER though would happen. It will still be a little while, but I can see it in the future...
My job is going fine - nothing exciting. I would much rather be home with my baby.
Allison is doing great as well - as you can see from the pictures. As I mentioned above we stayed in Bellevue Sunday night. Allison had a Doctor's Appointment on Monday morning at the Children's Hospital office in Bellevue. It was so nice to have an Aunt willing to let us stay at her house so we didn't have to fight traffic - Thanks Aunt Belinda. Anyway, we went to the doctor because she has had this horrible cough since Christmas. It gets better and worse, but it just wouldn't go away and was a dry hacking cough that seemed to flare up at night, when going out in the cold, or after running around for awhile. At times she would cough so hard she'd make herself throw up. I felt so bad for her we had to get it checked out. It appears to be a mild case of Asthma....no fun for her but there is the possibility of her growing out of it by age three. It may also be something she has to deal with during the winter time. Anyway, she now has a fun little inhaler that we've already gotten to use. It really seemed to work so the diagnosis appears correct. We also got a steroid treatment to give her if it doesn't seem to get better. It's just so nuts to me to have to deal with this stuff - having been so healthy growing up and NEVER getting sick. I just hope all of the rest of our kids are healthier! Between Chris and Allison I don't think we could handle another sicky....
Sorry this has been a BOOK! But, if I'm only writing once a month it's going to have to be long. Hope everyone is doing well....
