Allison aka "Alligator"





Once upon a time there was a mom who just couldn't get enough of her little red headed baby. She kissed her about a million times a day, she let her off the hook when she clearly did something bad just because she looked too cute to be guilty, and couldn't help but smile when this baby smiled at her first. It was a love story, pure and simple. Then one day this baby grew into a toddler (an 18 month old toddler to be exact). This adorable baby started doing less adorable things, like emptying the silverware drawer, nose diving off the kitchen table, fighting with her 4 year old sister at every opportunity, and many other acts of naughtiness that made the parents question their sanity at least once daily. And through it all, the toddler kept those pretty blue eyes, that fun red hair, that devious yet endearing smile...and her parents decided to keep her. And they all lived happily ever after.

Sorry, I had to tell this in fairy tale fashion to appease the 4-year-old. In all seriousness, I can't believe that Allison is already 18 months old. She's started nursery, she still hates any and all daycare activities except for Rebecca Taylor's house, she measures in the 95th percentile for height and 81st for weight, and she is speaking up a storm. My favorite Allison-ism is something like "I-uh-u" which translated means I love you. She's the cutest and we're so happy to have her in our home - alive and well so far:)

Here are a few fun new pictures and one video of her sweeping my new kitchen floor.

Your floor looks so great! She is so big. I love when they learn to say I love you. Rush has been initiating disgusting wet kisses which I also adore.
