Allisonisms

*Always on the go.

*No is her new favorite word. There are two kinds of nos. The quick and fast one almost in a sense of panic, "Allison do you want to take a bath?""No!" (she answers just as I am ending the question). Then there are the long drawn out, whiny noooooos. Those are annoying.

*Always wants to hold Mia. She will all of sudden sit down on the floor and hold out her arms, a sign that she wants to hold Mia.

*Loves practing her signs that we have taught her. She loves learning new words. Baby is her favorite sign of all and will do it if she sees a baby in the store.

*Learning new words and phrases. Last week at breakfast she pointed to Brian's seat and said "Dad?" I told her that he wasn't here and she replied "where he go?"

*Giggles like crazy when she is tired. We call this her slap happy period and will try to get her to bed quickly before it turns into crabbiness.

*Continuously says "Mum" while in the back seat of the car. She thinks it is funny when I reply back "Allison" really fast. It is even more funny when I call out other people's name like "Amelia, Ozzie, Dad."

*Bored with baths and tries to hop out after only a few minutes. Maybe some new bath toys will help (hint, hint...birthday gift suggestion).

*Has a perpetual bruise on her forehead. When one clears up, another appears.
