Alyson turns ONE!!

I can't believe where that time has gone. My baby turned on on October 14th and is now a sweet toddler running around the house. She is such a joy in our house. She started walking at 11 months and loves to chase after her brother and his friends. She LOVES purses, dressing up, and wearing shoes. She is always happy and on the go - even when she is sick. She loves playing with her brother and flying his super hero's, and car around the house and playing hide and go seek. Wrestling is also something she loves to join in on. She has a large vocabulary (as I am finding out) but for the most part chooses to let her brother do the talking for her. Some of the words she can say are eat, mo (more), this, that, Mama, Dad, light, what (with attitude), red, blue, yellow, ABCD, mooo, roar, voom (vroom), and so many more. She is quite the picky eater but loves most fruit, yogurt, and SUGAR. She has the biggest sweet tooth and can literally smell when sugar is in the house! Reading is something she does quite often and loves it especially when Cole reads to her. She is also quite the climber and can get on the couch, chairs and table, scale the closet in the toy room using toys, and is addicted to stairs. When she wants to be picked up she wraps her arms around your legs, looks up and start saying "ME, ME, Me, ME!" Until you finally relent and pick her up. We sure love that little girl! For her birthday she had three parties! What a loved little girl. We were lucky enough to have both sets of parents visit during first part of October and get to share in on Aly 1st birthday. She loved the cakes! Except she loved playing in them, I think she took a total of one bite of both! What a silly little girl. Happy Birthday Alyson!
