Allyson is growing up sooo fast. She is exploring the world in all sorts of new and different ways. Diaper changing has now become a unhappy crying fest as she doesn't like to be touched and turns to move away from you. So a pink multi-colored lighted blinking rubber ducky seams to work for distraction leaving us a happy baby. It wont be long until she can sit up totally on her own. She does require minor assistance right now. Her current favorite objects are the real cell phones (note to self to find a good toy version) and the computer keyboard. She loves to act like she is typing away and scrams if you need to use the keyboard for something. After all we all know she wants to make a post to all her friends on the GRBabyboard.
If there is one sound you could bottle up and hold onto forever its that sound of a happy baby just waking up and talking. Every mourning she is always happy to be awake unless we have woken her up then shes a grump! Too much like her daddy.
For those of you who don't know, Michael left the company he worked for in Holland and now works for K RESA in Kalamazoo. He stays at his parents house several nights a week to save on the gas money so there are night during the week when its just Allyson and I which can be fun at times. However I think I most prefer to see the nights when Michael is walking in the door from being at work all day. Allyson gets all excited and smiles and screams with happiness even when shes been a cranky baby all day long. She is slowly starting to recognize his voice on the phone (or so I think) but these times just don't seam to be as enjoyable as when she sees him in person.
Hopefully we can figure out whats going to workout for us as we feel a bit trapped into our house here in GR as far as the housing market goes. It would be nice for it to be the 3 of us and Butters every night.
This Sunday is going to be very interesting with all emotions, memories from a year ago and at the same time we will be meeting the current sisters boyfriends parents and his sister and her two children one which is a few days younger then Ally.
