First Steps!!!!!

OMG! My baby took her first steps tonight-while it is absolutly cute to see her take 4 wobbly steps I am so not ready for her to be walking-to me it it just one more step away from baby and onward toward toddler but I suppose they must grow up sometime huh?! :] Well, wish us luck as we embark on this next step in the journey of parenthood-I am sure it will bring many funny stories (now I just need to be sure to post them) :]

Easter

After church we spent time with the Browers and then headed to my mom's to celebrate Easter as well as Dave's b-day (the big 29-last one before the BIG 3-0!).

Climbing the Stairs...

They grow so fast!

It amazes me all the time how quickly Allee changes and how fast she is learning new things. Sometimes I look at her and I can't help but think she has somehow changed since that last time I looked at her 2 seconds earlier; her face has filled out, she has gotten taller, her hair is longer, etc... She is constantly learning new things too-such a little sponge she is! She is VERY verbal (I know-shocking!), she is into packing and unpacking things-cupboards being her favorite, and she recently learned how to climb the stairs. She also "cruns"-which is what Brad and I call this thing she does is which she crawls REALLY fast and you can hear her hands slapping on the tile and she makes this funny little noise-it's like running while crawling :]

Missing Dad...

I'm not one of those people who puts my emotions out there for everyone (unless its on the anger side right?! for those who know mw best) but since today is 3 years ago that dad died I thought I'd put a little post to say that boy do I miss him. I think my sister said it all better (read her blog) but know that we all think about him all the time, I still pick up my phome to call and ask a question, and oh how I wish he could see Allee grow-I know he would love her like he loved Jenna. Anyway, I'm not good at this so...
