Hiding

Ali found one of Tyler's favorite hiding spots. Of course Tyler had to get in on the action too.

I think she wants to call Daddy

My Sweetness and Elmo

Have I mentioned lately how pretty my little girl is!! I swear the older she get the prettier she is. Daddy is going to really have to watch out for her:)

She is putting away her toys

Elmo is one of her favorite toys. This Elmo if you shake it, it talks to you. She loves to wave it around and hear him talk.


Tyler wanted to get in on the picture taking action

Goodbye

It sad to see but it has to happen:( My Mom and My Grandmother are leaving today. It was so nice to have them visiting. I loved showing my Grandma around. I really wish she would visit us more. I know Tyler loved their company. He had a blast playing with them.

Ali and Her Great Grandma

Stockyards

Today we went down to the Stockyards. Watched the cattle drive, ate lunch and did a little window shopping. Tyler had a great time watching the cattle drive.

Great Grandma is here too!!

Tyler and Ali's Great Grandma Stubbs made it into town to spend a little time with them. This is her first time visiting us in Texas and we are so excited to have her. Tyler and Ali are really enjoying her. Its one more person that will sit in the play room and play with them.

Grandma Is Here

YAY for Grandmas!!!! Tyler is so excited to have his Grandma Sandy here. He loved going to the airport to pick her up. Really he loves that she will sit on the floor with him in the play room all day long.

9 Month Check Up

Today Ali had her 9 month check up. I love seeing how much she is growing from appointment to appointment. She is 18 lbs 8 oz (25-50%) and 29 in (90%). I am really surprised she didn't gain more weight. She was 18 lbs 7 oz with clothes on when I took her to the doctor in Atlanta. She eats like a pig, so I was expecting her to be around 20 lbs. I guess she really needs all that food, since she is moving all over the place. She is right on track developmentally. I love hearing that everything is perfect with my little munchkin.

Playtime with Ali

These are just some random pictures of Ali playing and being cute.



And Mr Tyler....

Movies!!!

Today Daddy took Tyler to the theater for the first time. They went to go see Cars 2. Tyler was so excited to go. He had a great time and loved his 1 on 1 time with Daddy. He made it through about an hour and fifteen minutes of the movie.


While Tyler and Daddy were at the movies, Ali and I had some girl time. We went to a local shopping area, walked around and spent some of Daddy's money. Ali got her first taste of a scone and she loved it.

Eating and Cheese

Here are some photos of Miss Ali shoving food in her face. Here she is enjoying her veggie straws.


Tyler insisted on having his picture taken too. He kept screaming CHEESE. Don't pay attention to his haircut. I hate it. The lady cut it WAY too short.

9 Months

Its that time of the month again. My little baby girl is now 9 months old. Just 3 short months and she will be a year old and a toddler:( I am trying my best to cherish her because she is growing up way too fast. I love this photo, its shows off her personality so much. She is a little ham.


Here are some things that you accomplished this past month:

1. You can stand without holding onto anything for 20-30 seconds before sitting down.
   
2. You can clap. You love when we say, "Yay Ali", you start clapping for yourself.
3. You can babble your B's and L's. You LOVE to talk and I LOVE listening to you talk.
   
4. You have taken 2 steps on your own without holding on to anything.
   
5. You have started to transition to mostly table foods. You have a serious love for food. You eat anything I put on your tray.
6. You have started to have some serious issues with separation anxiety. I love that you love me but I wish you would learn to love Daddy just as much:)

I can't wait to see what this next month brings us. I wouldn't be surprised if I was posting that you were a walker. You are so close to taking off. Keep on growing baby girl. Daddy and I love watching you do it.

Walking and Throwing

Today Ali was walking behind Spiderman. She's getting so big.

Miss Ali has also learned to throw. She was having a blast throwing the ball at Daddy.

She loved it when Daddy was hitting her in the head with the ball. She thought is was so funny.

Will I Ever.....

Get enough of these big blue eyes. I think the answer to this is NEVER. I have the prettiest baby in the world.

Future Chef Maybe

Miss Ali decided she wanted to help cook dinner. Daddy snapped these while I was cooking the real dinner.
