Mommy's Helper

It's been such a while since I've blogged and lots has happened. Kim and I went on vacation without child - 8 days of rafting down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. It was amazing. Alli spent 10 days in Houston with my brother, sister-in-law, and her 3 cousins. Everyone had a great time!

When we met her at the airport, she didn't recognize us. Kinda scary to think that she would forget in only 10 days, but it happened. It didn't take long, and then she was super clingy! That has lasted for the last 6 days (much longer than I was expecting)! But now she's back to playing by herself at times and doesn't need to be physically touching me every minute she's awake. :D

This weekend we had lots of projects as everything seemed to break while we were on vacation. And mommy found she had a new helper, cause everything I worked on, Alli was right there and actually helped. We defrosted the fridge (to try to fix a problem) and she helped me pull everything out of it to put into coolers. And when we were done, she helped me pull everything out of the coolers and put it back into the fridge. Laundry? Same thing. Now she's trying to help me cook too, but I have to draw the line.... ;)

Yay Pictures!

We finally processed the pictures we took for Alli's 15 month photo shoot.




We really love her big toothy smile, and wouldn't you know this was the only shot where we captured it fully!
