Meet Mr. Moo!

I would just like everyone to meet a VIP in our family. This is Mr. Moo. ("Mi-ter MOO"as Alana would say.) She adores this stuffed cow that she got for her first birthday. She loves to sleep with him and her baby. She makes sure that we tuck not only her into bed at night, but the baby and Mr. Moo also. Alana you are so darling and I love that you are already so passionate about the things that you love!

And so it begins...

I have always heard that girls are more dramatic than boys, but until I had one of my own it didn't really sink in.

And so it begins....
This morning I was getting Alana dressed and had her outfit picked out (including matching shoes). A minute or so later I heard crying and Alana saying "shoe-shoe". She managed to get one of the matching shoes off and was carying around a new pair of shoes (that didn't match so well). She would not settle down until I put the OTHER pair of shoes on. Then she was just fine. Do you think she's a GIRL or what???? I have a feeling this is only the begining.

AND SO IT BEGINS...

Princess Pickle Pie

One nick-name that we call Alana often is "Princess Pickle Pie". I think that this name really fits her because she is a princess and she is a cutie pie, but she can also be a little pickle sometimes too! (She is a total girl and is sensitive sometimes). I took these pictures of her in this pretty dress that a friend of Nana and Grandpa gave her and she looked so pretty, like a princess that I really wanted to post them. She definitely looks like a princess. She was pleased to look so "TUTE" (Cute). We love you little Princess Pickle Pie!

Girly Girl

Alana has been so darling lately. She entertains herself by pushing her baby-doll stroller around the house. She pats her baby, hugs, kisses and puts her baby to bed. She is very protective of her and doesn't like it when Rylan tries to take her baby for a walk with out her permission. It is really cute! I can't believe how girly she is already. She loves to wear her bows and shoes. (Can't say I blame her on the shoe thing), carry her purse and even talk on the phone. She will say "heyo". Darling! She is into playing house already and loves the playhouse outside. It amazes me how young kids develop their imagination. It is so fun to have a girl and I am thankful that I have a daughter. I want to be her best friend. Alana you are such a good mommy!!! I love you!!!!
