My helper

Ally loves to help me wash dishes.  I can barely turn the tap on without her pulling her chair to the sink.

Big Sister

Ally is just so in love with Zoe.  She loves to kiss, hug and even play with her.  I try to protect Zoe but soon they will be able to play.  In a year more or less they will be able to play and with each passing month they will be able to do more together.  I can't wait!

Clean Girl

Ally loves bath time and enjoys swimming around in the tub.  She could probably spend hours in there.

March - A month of Ally

Ally turns 2 in 22 days!!  Crazy!  I decided and coerced Mike into taking a picture of Ally every day of her last days as a 1 year old.  

Today we started potty training and Ally did amazingly well.  I was petrified but we decided it was time and dove in head first.

Here is a pic of our girl just before bed (because we almost forgot) unfortunately with a soother in her mouth.  She has decided that she likes soothers now even though she hated them when she was younger.

And Ally also got her first black eye this week.  We don't really know what happened except that we didn't do it ;)  She was playing her ball tent and pushing it around the room while inside and we think she ran into her dresser.

3 Months Old

Zoe is growing up!  Our girl has had an eventful month. She has started talking and loves to have nightly conversations with Mommy.  And last night she actually laughed!

Zoe was also babysat for the first time.  She gave her Aunt and Uncle a hard time but in the end was just fine and happy to see Mommy.

And for some exciting news, we have graduated from the Breastfeeding Clinic!!  Zoe is now 11 lbs and growing well so there is no need to be undressed and put on a cold scale.

Dancing Queen

Ally loves music and dancing.  Her favorite songs are Mamma mia and Feist's 1 2 3 4.  She sings,"Mamma mia go again.."  and " 1 2 3 4, tell me what your looking for.."  

Here is a video of Ally playing rockband with her Dad and dancing along.

Musical Prodigy?

Ally has discovered the piano and loves to plunk away on it.  She has even started to play and sing songs at the same time.  Here is a video of her playing.
