19 Months

Allie was 19 Months on my 27th birthday.  So we celebrated by Nana and Papa taking us to cheese cake factory and then that night Allie hung out with Nana and Papa while mama and daddy went out on a much needed date!  I have been really slacking on taking many pics the last couple months because my point and shoot is broken but now I have a new camera (that my wonderful husband bought me for my birthday!).. so we will see if I get back into my normal routine.

This month Allie and I have spent a lot of time together making things for Chaim, getting the house finally settled and watching a lot of sesame street in my bed because lets face it nearing the end of the third trimester is an exhausting time and well we like to "lax" as Allie says or relax and snack on goldfish... don't judge me!

Here Allie is being a big helper putting together a blanket for Chi Chi as she calls Chaim.

Allie's vocabulary is starting to really grow and expand.  She knows about 60 words and uses them regularly.  She knows what she wants and gets really frustrated if you don't get it.  We are going through our first major attachment phase this month.  Not sure what is up with that but she is throwing a fit any time I leave her whether it is in the nursery or at home with someone else... this has never been an issue before so it is all new to me.  She does fine however if she is the one going bye bye.  She has also turned into quite the little performer and dancer.  She loves music and just can't help herself when she hears the beat.  In the car we frequently listen to the Rizers and she immediately starts dancing and then calls out anyone's name in the car who is not dancing with her... oh yeah I get lots of awesome looks going down the road!  She barely lets the song come to an end before she asks for more.  She hasn't realized that there is always a small break between songs.  Allie also loves worship time at AG and immediately lifts her hands when we walk into the worship service.  

Oh Allie your personality is just blooming and you are such a precious and sweet little girl.  I love watching you grow each day... you continue to astonish and amaze me and I am always so proud of you.  Not to mention you crack me up still every day!  I am so thankful for you little girl.  I love you!
