Allyson




Allyson is our newest addition, and will turn 1 in September. She has been a joy to have around. We had almost forgotten what is was like to have a baby in the house. There is 5 1/2 years between Jessica and Ally. So it's been fun and a challenge. She keeps us busy.


We don't know if this child is more predictable than the others or we just finally know what we are doing and can read her better. We usually know what she wants from her cries and gestures. She goes to sleep when she's tired, but for a long time had problems staying asleep at night. She is usually a good-natured baby, but really does love to be entertained and held.


Ally is getting ready to walk. She is cruising around using the furniture and our hands to help her! She has about 8 teeth and knows how to use them. She has a favorite item---a soft Winnie the Pooh blanket given to us by a friend in our old ward in Phoenix. She has loved it since she was very young, maybe 4 months old. She would pull it over her head and go to sleep. She knows it as her "blankie" and cuddles with it often. We look forward to many fun adventures with her, as we have experienced with the other 2.
