Ali plays - part 1

The last 3 weeks with Ali (in a nutshell). Sorry about the long delay - life is busy for both Mommy and Daddy, and the blog is one of those important but not urgent things ;)

She is SOOO amazing :)

She's got attitude! (What an adorable pose though... completely natural, I'm just glad I cought it before she moved!)
Our little tomboy?
Yippee!!
She doesn't quite get it...

Ali plays - part 2

She rolled herself up in, and chewed on, this blanket for a LONG time... what a cutie!
A fancy toy, and all she cares about is the strap on the back! It's great to chew on though!
One of her new favourite toys - balls!
Her hair is getting long!!
Could she be in any more pink?!?
Peek-a-boo!
Walking with Mommy (and Lindsey)
Playing with my friends Ava and Mya
Copycats

6 month portraits

Well, these, amongst everything else, are long awaited I'm sure, but we FINALLY got Ali's 6 month pictures back! Here is a picture of the pictures (the best I could do) for you to see!! Sorry we don't have better copies to show you online... she was ADORABLE and so smiley though. I am just SO happy with them!

A big day :)

Our little teething girl

I don't know if it will show up on your computer, but we actually were able to get a shot of her first little tooth!
Giving Ava hugs :)

Not quite crawling, but she can get on her hands and knees sometimes now! She's growing up too fast.
Our little girl loves to ride on mommy's shoulders (or maybe she just likes the easy access to pulling my hair...?)

Our Ali

Ali this week....

Ali can now sit up all on her own!

And she has discovered the faucet, and thinks it is the greatest thing ever!
Wow Mommy, it's water!!

Another trip to the great white north

We headed up to Ottawa to visit family and friends last week. Everyone was so happy to see Ali, and she had a blast! Before we left Ali went to the dr, and she is now 16lbs 3oz, and doing great! The poor little thing got 2 more needles, and cried a little, but did an awesome job!

She also got her first tooth right before we left... more about that later though. Ali also reached 6 months old while we were in Canada... we can't believe how quickly the time has gone. We got some AMAZING portraits taken this week to celebrate, and can't wait to get them back and show them to you. They turned out SO well, we can't even believe how smiley she was!

Ali loves her Uncle John!
What a smile!
Great Aunts!
What a great thing to chew on :)
"Forget this toy - I want that cat!!!"
Ali made lots of new friends at Kelsey and Brody's shower!!
How cute!
Mommy's family
On the drive home - Ali sure enjoyed having her new toy for the long drive!

(But she was still trying to pull her seatbelt off)

Long awaited...

Once again, I have a LOT to catch up on for pictures, but this past month has been busy. I finished my 3rd grad course, and started my 4th, while heading up to Ottawa for a week (which meant doing a lot of catch-up homework when we returned!) Things are getting back to normal this weekend though. I hope you enjoy the pictures despite how late they are!

Could they possibly look more alike?
Taking a catnap in her swing with pigglet and her humidifier... what a cutie!
