Mommy's March Break

Wow - this week flew by! Mommy had March Break so she was able to spend the entire week home with Ali and she loved it! Ali has grown and changed so much lately, she's learning a handful of new words every day. It is so much fun being a part of that.

Ali also had her 18 month check up and is growing growing growing. Mommy can't believe that she's 29 pounds (but now understands why it's getting hard to carry her for long periods of time along with the pregnant belly!)

Daddy's point of view for the last few months.... Mommy's getting close to being done her Masters though!

Ali has become a big helper - she LOVES to help cook or wash dishes

And play with the spices... definitely her daddy's little girl!

Ali and mommy reading

One morning, we found Ali in her crib completely naked, no diaper or pj's. That afternoon when we went in to get her from her nap, we found that our little nun had got stuck trying to get her top off. What a silly little girl!

Ali, having fun with Daddy while brushing her teeth

Two of a kind!

Ali, helping mommy unload the dryer...

And she even carried this laundry basket all the way from Mommy's room to the laundry!! What a big girl!

Ali and mommy's Lego towers

Ali building her Lego - she blows us away!

After a nice 'spring' walk around the block, Ali explored the deck...

...and played with Maggie...

... then rediscovered how difficult it is to walk through the yard in the snow!

Going for a walk with Mommy and Daddy...

We enjoyed some beautiful weather this week... it was so nice to get outside together and have some fun. She has sure grown up over the winter!

Our beautiful little goof-ball

She was having SO much fun eating her peaches! I wish you could hear the giggle that went along with this smile :)

And finally, our loyal snow dog
