Merry Christmas

Matt, Ally & I had a great 2nd Christmas together. Ally's Grampa & Nana came to visit and we all had a great time. She got tons of gifts and has been playing with them all non-stop since she opened them. I hate that Christmas is already over but now we have our trip to Orlando/Tampa to look forward to next week.

Ally gets tubes

Well after 4 ear infections since July it was time for Ally to get tubes. She did great through this procedure. We got to the hospital at 6am and she wound up not going back until around 8:15. She was as happy as she could be while we were waiting, even though she was not allowed to eat or drink anything. The procedure itself took less than 10 minutes. The doctor said the right ear looked good, but the left ear was full of fluid so it was a little more difficult. She was in a little bit of pain after it was over and we had a hard time calming her down. When we got her home she took a good nap and then woke up much happier. Her Grampa & Nana came to visit for Christmas yesterday and that really made her happier. She had a great nights sleep too so i'm really hoping the tubes are already helping!

Ally turns 1!!!!!

Ally turned 1 year old on Friday and she had her birthday party Saturday at Gymboree Play & Music. It was a perfect birthday party for her. She had so much fun with all of her family and friends! I can't believe Ally is 1 year old already. I don't know where this year has gone. I'm enjoying watching her grow up, but at the same time it's so sad too! She'll always be my baby girl no matter how big she gets!

Ally's 1st Trip to the Park

Today was such a gorgeous day that Matt & I decided to take Ally to Pratt Park here in Prattville. It's such a nice park and I really think Ally will love this park the older she gets. There wasn't a whole lot she could do because of her age, but she was able to swing, go down the slide with daddy and watch the ducks and geese. Here are a few pictures from our trip to the park.

Ally's 1st Tailgate

We took Ally to Auburn today for her first Auburn tailgate. Our friends Jill, AJ & Addison joined us. It was VERY cold, but we still had a great time! We got to catch up with a lot of friends and we took her to her first Tiger Walk.

Ally & Maya

Check out Ally feeding Maya some of her puffs.

Ally is ticklish!

Matt found Ally's new ticklish spot the other night and we have never heard her laugh this hard from tickling her. It was so cute!

War Eagle Ally

Ally is ready for her first Auburn season! We tried on her outfits this weekend and they both are so cute on her. We are hoping Ally brings us good luck this season!

Ally's First Word

Ally said her first word last week but i'm just now getting on here to post it. Obviously if it were "Mama" I would have posted it the first day! :) It's so cute when she says it though.

Jack's 1st Birthday

We went to Destin yesterday to celebrate Jack's 1st birthday! We had so much fun swimming, playing & of course, watching Jack get burnt by the candle (haha). I can't believe my nephew is already 1 year old! He is growing up so fast!

4th of July Weekend

We had a very busy 4th of July weekend but it was a lot of fun. We were going, going, going and Ally got to see a lot of family. Here are a few pictures from the week.

Ally & Connor Meet

Ally met her cousin, Connor, last night. Marc, TJ and Connor flew in from CA and are staying until the 4th of July. Ally loves Connor and really likes pulling on his ears. Connor is still trying to figure Ally out. They are going to have so much fun together this week!
