Around the House

Lately we've been busy around the house. Here's some pictures of Alissa's room. To give you a "before" mental picture- this whole room was powder blue. We would've left it if we had a boy..but needless to say :) This we finished shortly after she was born, but I haven't posted any pictures. Lori...here they are :) After talking about it for so long ha ha




We also just finished the living room..well sort of. We still have to get the wall stuff and curtains, but at least the painting was done. We're very proud of our color choice on this one. We spent about 30 seconds picking it out because Alissa was getting fussy in the store. I think that's what makes this more rewarding because we didn't over analyze the choice. We love it! I'll post pictures once we get the rest of our pictures up and the curtains bought.




This morning we had fun in her room playing with her Nikes. Daddy of course will allow her to have a shoe collection at 1! This is only 3 from her collection. It's only beginning I'm afraid.... *sigh* :)




and lastly...the girl hanging out with me this morning :) We had fun before her morning nap. Oh...and FINALLY a tooth shot! She doesn't like to open her mouth but I caught her laying on my lap. :) Super sneeky!!

And Off She Goes....

Yesterday we were eating dinner. Alissa was playing in the living room right next to us. I turned around and saw her standing with no props and moving foward to a nice big butt plant. I was in shock- Could it be my angel was walking?! I immediately starting clapping and saying "YEAH" just incase she was walking....


Today, I get a phone call. Sure enough...she is walking by herself. Not running crazy yet, but she's walking to people and finally being brave enough to let go. Sure enough my suspicions of yesterday were correct. She DID walk!!


I'm so proud of my baby girl!!!



So an add on.... I came home from work and Chris had video'd some. Totally made my day!!

Another Tooth

This morning Alissa was eating and as she opened her mouth I thought I saw more white than just the one tooth. In between bites, she managed to let me stick my finger in her mouth. Sure enough...tooth #2!!! So she has both of her incisors on the front bottom. Horray!!!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Daddy today!!
