Things to teach...

Alli has so many things to teach her new baby brother or sister when the time comes...

This is how to look as cute as possible and more importantly make your feet look as gigantic as possible when taking a picture.

Oh yes, this is my favorite! This is how you climb onto the rocking chair to get a good look at the "ish" (that's Alli's way of saying fish). If you're lucky, the algae eater will be stuck to the glass right it front of your face. Awesome! ("ish" is about the only word Alli says other than "daddy"-- poor mommy-- we very rarely hear that word)


Pull the blanket and the doll out of the doll cradle and climb in yourself. Lots of fun and it rocks! Pawpaw would be so proud. He made a cradle just like this for mommy when she was just a little girl. This particular one however belonged to Aunt Marcie who only has boys- thanks Aunt Marcie for letting me have it. Why don't I have mom's? That would be because mom decided to climb into hers (sound familiar) and broke it. Maybe Pawpaw wouldn't be so proud- sorry Pawpaw. But, I have to mention, mommy was much older than me when she did that and should have known better (remember that Becca?) Hopefully, mommy will make sure that history doesn't repeat itself. Thanks again Pawpaw- I love my cradle and mommy does too. Isnt' it beautiful. That Pawpaw is a good craftsman!

Always use both feet and hands to hold your sippy cup. I don't know why, it just seems to work better that way. Maybe that's why mom and dad call me "monkey"

Let this be a lesson... Never let mom play with your hair after your bath or this could happen to you too. Let's hope this doesn't happen to you!

That's all for now. I'm sure there will be more later. Love you and can't wait to meet you.
