2nd Year Photos

I know the most talented people.

My wonderful friend Krista took Allie's 2nd year pictures. Click here to see her 1st year pictures. {She has grown up so much in one year.} Krista is amazing and very patient with our feisty little toddler. It was a pretty chilly day and the wind was blowing, but she managed to get some wonderful shots, because she's wonderful! Plus we have such an adorable girl, so that helps! :)

Here are some of our favorites!

This "BIG" girl is:
23 pounds...7% of kids her age are smaller
31 inches...2% of kids her age are smaller
SOOO...she is a little munchkin and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Favorite things:
BUNNIES
Making piles
Bubbles
Drawing
Painting
Running
Being outside
Her Nan's and Pa's
Books
Helping mom cook (especially cookies), do laundry, and clean
Animals
Flowers
Singing
Dancing

She is very expressive...just like her daddy!

Some things she says that we just love:
Wallet for WATER (don't ask me where she came up with this one)
Zeeny for Magazine
Bessick for Breakfast
Thankyouwelcome for Thank you
She leaves off the S at the beginning of words

Allie loves to dance and work out with mom and dad. She has some great moves. She must get it from her Great Grandmas.

She is very creative, imaginative and has her own mind {both a good and a bad thing}!

Most of all she is just a silly, playful, 2 year old. What a goober! :)

She is so beautiful, Marilyn! And thank you for the advice, I really appreciated it because sometimes I feel so much pressure to potty-train her before the baby gets here, and then I stress myself out! And that makes it not so much fun...I think you are right...whenever she is interested, just do it! that is a really good idea ;) We will be in the same boat, so yes, whenever we can help each other out, that would be great! I would also appreciate that :D I know you are a great mom! You will do an amazing job transitioning to having two little babes. I hope you are feeling great and feeling well. And trust me...it's not pretty over here-I am pretty close to 170 lbs! :P hahaha...
