Quick Update

Allison after eating sweet potatoes. As you can see by her arm rolls she likes her food.

Nana and Papa came for a visit. Allison likes rubbing the "whiskers" on her dad's and papa's face.

Allison when she doesn't take a nap.

Nothing too exciting on this end. We are fully recovered from the holidays. Everything is packed away (by the way we decided to keep the tree up a few extra days.) Allison got back on schedule, although she must be sympathizing with the Hollywood writers because she went on a little bit of a strike -- a nap strike that is. She went four days in a row where she refused to take her afternoon nap. She was not a happy camper by 6 pm, neither was mom or dad. She took a good nap today though.

Allison is a champion eater! She now has had squash, bananas, carrots, and sweet potatoes. She really hasn't shown any kind of reaction to the food. We keep expecting some weird face when she tries something new, but she acts like she has been eating that item for months. The other day I gave her a little bit of water in a bottle and I fully expected her to be mad because it wasn't formula. She just gulped it down. She does love her sweet potatoes though. I think that is the best reaction we have gotten out of her yet. There was a lot of lip smacking going on.

Brian is working on the basement. Allison and I will be heading to Nana and Papa's house this weekend so he can paint the rafters. It is a stinky job, so I figured it would be a good idea to get Allison out of the house. Plus I know the family won't mind spending some time with her.

We are looking forward to a visit from Joie, Kurt, and Avari the following week. They will be coming in from California. Avari is a month older than Allison. It is exciting that Joie and I had babies at the same time. I can't wait to get a picture of the two girls together.
