Looking back: The second year

Allie has grown so much this year! As promised, here's year 2 in pictures:

Month 13, November: It was a tad chilly this day, but Allie did enjoy some running around at the park. And she enjoyed chewing on her mitten-covered fists.

Month 14, December: Riding around in her brand new umbrella stroller. We were out the day before Christmas to see Santa. So far Allie has gotten along with Santa fine.

Month 15, January: Hugging her big bear she got for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Swanson. The bear was bigger than her at the time:

Month 16, February: Look at that hair! This was the beginning of her mop. It still looked cute instead of just being a mess!

Month 17, March: At the Madison Children's Museum. She really liked playing with all the blocks they have there. We haven't been to the children's museum in awhile.

Month 18, April: In the car, ready to go home after a long day at Aunt Jeni's wedding. She didn't nap that day. Can you tell?

Month 19, May: Lounging at Brat Fest, Allie's got the purse and the keys and she's ready to go!

Month 20, June: We introduce Allie to the really big bath tub that is the pool. She likes it.

Month 21, July: We're working on brushing teeth. I think she likes it, though we're still not sure how much the brush actually meets her teeth.

Month 22, August: Mama takes a day off work and Aunt Jocie comes for a day at the beach. Allie liked putting her feet in the sand, but she didn't really like going in the lake. 

Month 23, September: She really hams it up for the camera! This kid is used to having her life chronicled on film, thats for sure! These are her new kitty jammies.

Month 24, October: Earlier this month we took a family vacation to Minneapolis. Allie had a great time running around through the sculpture garden there.

Allie is so different now than she was last year at this time. Well, duh! But it still surprises me sometimes the things she can do and how she has grown. It seems the last two year have absolutely flown by! This weekend we celebrate!
