Little Sleepy Head

  Allie is almost (hold on let me figure this out) 16 months old.  She has a charming personality.  She can turn on and off the tears faster then anyone I know (including me) and can be a big tease.  She thinks that she is big stuff because she can crawl up and down the stairs all by herself.  She loves to roam around the whole house getting into whatever catches her eye.  I have been known to call her my "Dud" because she isn't walking or really talking yet.  But I say it in good humor and know that she will walk when she is ready and that it is no big deal.  She LOVES her Mom. (well for now anyways) and will give me hugs upon request but nobody else.  My other kids have all gone to the dark side and would pick Jason over me. Her favorite noise is to screech at us to get what she wants.  She also likes to growl.  She is a picky eater.  She prefers white things like bananas, yogurt, ice cream, milk shakes, rice, milk and noodles.  Not very balanced and reminds me of her older sister Kassie.  If she is hungry enough she will venture to other things.  Allie loves touch and feel books. (hint for Christmas ideas)  She will rub her hands on them and laugh.  She definitely has a thing for texture.  At church she rubs her hands across the textured wall paper all through Relief Society.  Allie gets so excited when she learns something new and creates a cause and effect.  Let me give you some examples of some of her favorite tricks it to put the shapes in the shape cube, push the buttons on the ball popper and throws things down the stairs.  Oh and she has picked up a new habit of getting the doll hair combs and brushing her own hair.

  About the picture. My kids always seem to fall asleep in random places at random times.  Apparently she didn't get enough sleep because she fell asleep in her high chair the other morning.
