Peep eye!

Allie Kate loves playing peep eye right now! And I must admit I love hearing her say it too :) I work on Mondays and Tuesdays so I'm not going to blog on those days because I work until around 5pm and then I want to spend all the time I can with my little family! Allie Kate spends Mondays with her Gran (my mother in law) and Tuesdays with Nana (my mom). I am so blessed that I don't have to send her to day care and can depend on my mother in law and mother to take care of my sweet girl. Today Allie slept until 8:30! That is a HUGE deal :) Of course we went outside today...she wouldn't have it any other way. Every morning when I feed her breakfast in her high chair she points at the door and yells "outside" or "bella" at the top of her lungs!

This is her with her new rake like daddy's :)

This is her new favorite activity! And it makes me a nervous reck..we don't have stairs in the house for her to go up (well except for the basement) so I am just not used to her going up and down 1,000 times :) Today was the first day that she actually went up the stairs by herself...yay Allie!!

We weren't outside long when she started missing her routine cookies in her hands and started beating on the back door letting me know it was time for me to go get her cookies :)

We were out of the girl scout cookies she usually eats so we had to settle for fudge stripes...

Yummmmm! Mommy likes these a lot too!

Allie is still taking two naps a day most days (when I can wrestle her down for the 2nd one ha!),  but today I thought I would try the one long nap...well that turned into one hour and a half nap. And as soon as she woke up she saw some birds outside and HAD to go out...and I'm not gonna lie I love going out too. I think she is going to want to live outside the older she gets!

This is her with "bewa" the moment she gets outside she throws her hands up in the air and yells "BEWA" (Bella is the dogs name). Then she runs over to the fence and sticks her hand almost to where Bella can touch her and then runs and shakes her head saying "No,No." I don't know why :)



Today while she was climbing up the stairs she stopped and was hunched over so I couldn't see what she was doing (I stay behind her so she won't fall) and I got to where I could see and she had her little pointer finger scratching at dried bird poop! Immediatley I yelled "Ewww, that's poop" and she thought it was so funny she kept saying "poop,poop" :) Fun times!

This is her running to see Bella :) Sweet little baby doll!

Earlier in the day, when it was really sunny and I was trying to get her to wear her glasses...needless to say this is right before she ripped them off her head ha :) But she did carry them everywhere with her (that helped a lot).

Allie Kate spilled my sweet tea on our back deck and then of course had to play in it...bless her heart she kept picking the ice cubes up in her hands and squeezing them and making an awful face she would say "hot,hot" and I tried to help her understand it is cold and not hot but she just wasn't getting it!

This is the back of her hair and many people have been trying to get me to cut her sweet hair, and to them I say....NO WAY!! She is only 15 months old! No hair cuts :) Not yet anyways, I am not near emotionally ready for that!

Sometimes I look at her and wish I could see the world through her little eyes! Everything is just so magical and new! I love watching her explore and see new things...I mean she gets so excited about a bird flying by or a squirrell in the tree! I cannot describe the love I have for this little girl...only God can create that type of love...isn't it crazy how you love your child no matter what...nothing can change that! I am so blessed to have her and I think sometimes that God blessed me with her to show me how he loves me! Some of my favorite times with allie kate are when I am rocking her before I put her to bed. I don't normally rock her to sleep, I just rock her and sing to her to get her calmed down and ready for bed or a nap. I will put my face on the top of her little head and just smell her hair and try to memorize that smell and soak in the moment with her because I know it won't last forever! I literally have thought I hope heaven smells like this...it is the best smell in the world to me :) Tonight was one of those nights where I just didn't want to put her down...but I had to :) Today was a good day and I am so thankful for all my time with her!

Off to eat a popsicle and hang out with my husband :)

Goodnight!
