PLAYING AT THE ARBORETUM!

WALKING ON MY HANDS IN SO MUCH FUN!

This is Aliya's new favorite thing to do! Well, besides her recent OBESSION with her BALL PUPPET SHOW (from Baby Einstein My First Signs). It's not the whole show mind you, it lasts maybe thirty seconds and she wants to watch it over and over and over. She just points at the TV... BALL, BALL, BALL.. until you play it and then laughs and laughs. And if you don't get the message she graps the remote and says BALL, BALL, BALL until you do! :) And if she isn't asking for the BALL show it's BLUE... as in Blue's Clues.

ALIYA LOVES HER LIL SIS!

Aliya (for about the last week) has had to lift up my shirt everytime we or someone else talks about her little sister and point at my belly button! She often follows it up by giving my belly a kiss and loves! This morning she was snuggling her little sister and even had to wave to her! It is too cute!

PLAYING AT THE PARK AND SNUGGLING WITH MY HORSES!

THE ANIMALS ARE GROWING BY THE DAY AND THE WORDS!

So as you can see from the cougar pics the cougar says roar, she also knows the bear says roar, and whenever she walks into the new animal room (old computer room) she says DEER and points at the horns and pictures! The horse now neighs instead of moos and the turkey says gobble gobble as of a couple days ago. She also makes a fish face for fish. She repeats everything we say almost but is really starting to put a lot of words to the items herself. Last week or so she always like to point out the moon and the last few days she's been saying moon too. Yesterday I was talking to my mom and lost her on her cell and Aliya kept pointing at the phone Nana, Nana, Nana. And last night she thought Papa Deets was Jerry on Big Brother! I turned on the TV and Jerry was on there and she pointed at him and said Papa, Papa, Papa! She was convinced it was him!

ALIYA IS IN LOVE WITH THE COUGAR!

Loving on the cougar!
Look at that little grin!

That's what a lizard does!

After we were done taking pictures Jamey had to hide the cougar because that's all Aliya wanted to do is go "THAT WAY" to see it and then she says ROAR! She even had to give it kisses! She went to go find it and climbed on the bed and kept pointing at the bed looking around with her hands in the air like "What did you do with it"? I thought she was going to cry when it was gone.

ALIYA'S DR. VISIT!

Aliya had her follow-up visit today as she had been losing weight since her 12 month check- up. She had a bad case of diarrhea that lasted 3 weeks which is what we figured was the cause, but at her 15 month check-up (after she was well) she had lost more weight. We were so excited today she gained 1 lb. 6 oz. in the last month!!! YEAH!! We will go back in two months to check it again to make sure she is still gaining at a good rate. She now weighs 22 lbs. 3 oz.

EATING MY YOGURT POP!

BOUNCING AT CONNOR'S BIRTHDAY!

HAVING BREAKFAST WITH MY BABIES!

ALL THE ANIMALS I KNOW!

We forgot the duck... maybe another day! All birds quack by the way! And so far the horse also says mooo!

MAKING PIZZA DOUGH!

Aliya had been having a really rough day... she's working on three teeth and another one half way in... I needed to start dinner so I put her on the counter to help because she was freakin out every time I put her down and she went to town!

You have to check out this video and listen to Aliya "YES I AM"!

ALIYA CRASHED IN THE JUMPEROO AGAIN!

Notice her hair thing wrapped around a few fingers! That's were she always puts them!



This is the second time in here life she has fallen asleep in there and both have been within the last month or so!

ALIYA'S PICK OF THE DAY!

We were cleaning out the closet and this is what Aliya wanted to wear! A 6-9 month dress with this vest over the top!
