Back to blogland!

I know, I know. I have been AWFUL at blogging since we've been home! I am going to do better...I promise. The threats and hate mail are starting to scare me.....naw, I'm just kidding.

This is my last week at home until its BACK TO WORK. Its been so nice to have this time with Allie. I NEVER thought I would say this, but I am ready to go back to work. I guess I'm really not ready to go back to work, but ready to get on a normal daily routine again. Since I have been off, we have hopped here and there, visiting family and friends, and have done whatever we wanted to. I teach music and art at a childcare center, so I will be taking Allie with me. That is why I am not dreading having to leave her, because I can go check on her anytime I want. I am so glad I have the opportunity to do that!

In the world of Allie, she is cutting her two bottom teeth. Wow, that has been fun. Miss Fussy Pants hasn't been too happy, but she is going to look so cute with her little teeth. I can't wait till they finally come all the way in. It was amazing how she slept through the night when we FIRST came home. I thought, WOW, this is going to be a dream come true! Now she is waking up and freaking out in the middle of the night when she realizes we are not there. She definitely knows her Mommy and Daddy and won't let us out of her sight. The other day I was trying to do some laundry, but she would scream everytime I walked out of the room. I finally just decided to pop her into the laundry basket along with the laundry and tote her around. We have a major velcro baby on our hands! She is such a joy though and her smile melts our hearts like nothing ever before. I can't remember my life without her!

Hope you are having a great day!

Mia loves to take Allie's passy in and out. She says that Allie is "Her Baby!"

This pic was taken last week when it was about 30 degrees outside. Today it reached almost 80 degrees here in Alabama! We have WACKY weather!

Here she is all tuckered out. This girl is SO ACTIVE she wears herself out just playing in her exersaucer!

"Mmmmmmm....this rubber ducky ornament tastes good!"

"Who Me? I didn't do it!"

"Okay, maybe I did. I'll just flash my smile at you to forget about it."

Allie has a beautiful smile!! I was going to offer to watch her in my home daycare in Kansas but since you can take her with you, guess not. Your weather sounds like ours.
