Grandparents are Great!!

Grandma & Pawpaw, Grandma & Pop....these are Alli's wonderful grandparents! We've got some creative Grandma's don't we? Just teasing. I guess they will have to be Grandma Peggy and Grandma Elsie which I'm thinking might lead to some nicknames due to Alli mispronouncing them. And then, we will have some adorable "grandma" names. Time will tell!!

We recently had visits from both sets of Grandparents! Here are some pics from the visits. Unfortunately, Pawpaw was on the wrong side of the camera so I don't have any pics of him to include. We'll get you next time Pawpaw.

Father's Daughter

Toilet handles, plastic coat hangers, magazines, dog toys, vertical blinds, tags, dried leaves...
Have you guessed it? These are a few of Alli's favorite things. Forget all the colorful, musical, light-up toys- she'll take the coat hanger any day over those. I hear that's not uncommon. I just find it amusing and I guess it's justification for not spending a fortune on all that stuff! Don't worry, she has plenty of it and I'm sure she'll get lots more. And maybe she'll even start to appreciate it a little more in the future! None of that has anything to do with today's pictures. I just thought it was worth discussing.

About the pictures: Alli absolutely loves to be outdoors. She is definitely her father's daughter! She practically begs to go outside sometimes. She definitely fits in around here. And hopefully that means she'll enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, etc. 'cause that's all in the near future for her!
And thankfully, she's learning to not put every single leaf and blade of grass in her mouth, which is smart because that means she gets to spend more time crawling through the grass!


Who? Me?

Can I please go outside?

I'm gonna get it!

I got it!
