A Birthday with Bronchitis










Allie celebrated her first birthday this week! This past year with her has flown by. She is such a sweet little girl! Allie's favorite foods include: chicken, spaghetti, and oatmeal with applesauce. Allie has learned to point to her nose(and everyone else's), give "Fives" and gives great kisses. She calls "mamama" whenever she's in trouble or needs help and will drop whatever she is doing to run to the door to greet her daddy when he comes home with an enthusiatic "Hi, Da!" She has recently been learning how to slide down the stairs backwards. She loves playing with phones and gets SO excited whenever she sees or hears dogs. Taking our lead from her interest in dogs, we had a canine theme for her birthday and since she loves phones so much, we decided to give her one of her own for her birthday. Her Aunt Lauren and Uncle Nate were right on track with that and sent her a toy phone as well. She loved it so much we had a hard time getting her to open anything else! Allie was thought of by many people this week and we thank you all for your cards, calls, and packages! Her birthday was a really fun day for us. It was nice to have a "pick me up" as Allie had been running a fever for five days prior to her birthday. She ended up coming down with infections in both ears and bronchitis! Poor baby! After a couple days of medication, she is doing much better and is nearly running at full speed again.

Happy Birthday cute Allie! Alyssa, can you believe a year has gone by?? Because today is Baron's b-day, and I sure can't believe he is 1! It's weird. Looks like Allie had a blast!

What a darling cake! And, I love the picture of her trying on her new shoes...as if to say, yeah, these are definitely cute, I like them lots.

Glad that she felt a little better for the day. Poor baby being so sick. I can't believe our "babies" are one. Time sure flies.
