2 cats and a baby: December Part 1

Well today officially ends my blog break! With the holidays and just being plain old exhausted (not to mention my new sewing machine) I needed a little break. Anyways this is December! This has been a BIG month, Alison started walking! We had a wonderful Christmas and Chris was home the entire month and even had a fair few days off! Alison had to go to the emergency room for actually being sick (we took her once when she was a newborn because she had a clogged tear duct) and she had her one year old appointment this month as well!

There are not pictures for everyday but there are still a lot of pics for December!

Dec 1st:
Our visit with Great Grandma and Grandpa comes to a close. Alison loves walking with grandma and would crawl into her room in the morning grab grandma's hand and walk around! She was so excited to have her great grandparents for a visit!

One last walk with the great grandparents before we go to the airport

"Let's Go!"

Chris was so happy to have had his grandparents come out for a visit. We had such a wonderful with and hope it wont be too long before we see them again.

Bye!

Today Alison got a book shelf from Ms. Jessie, Mr. Ryan and little Grady! It's really cute and Alison seems to enjoy pulling her books out of it (maybe someday I will be able to get her to put books in it!)

Alison loves reading

I love this!

Alison also got this inflatable toy from Auntie Em for her birthday. It has a little jingle balls inside and a small obstacle course to put the balls through. Alison is trying to figure out how to get the little balls out of it.

Daddy and Alison playing before bedtime. Alison is looking at her and daddy in a mirror, she loves looking in mirrors!

Baby is sleeping. Ever wonder what mommy and daddy do while she is asleep?

Sometimes I blog, sew, clean of course, laundry and just relax a bit.

Daddy plays scary video games!! Rarrr!!

Mommy put the Christmas tree up during nap time! Alison was really happy to see it!

Mommy put Alison in her Santa pajamas to be extra festive!

Hi mommy

Of course she pulled a few balls off

Little baby, big tree

We spent a lot of time looking at the tree today

Do you see someone else in this picture?

Marty! hiding under the Pooh table. He doesn't like to be far away from his people.

Alison and I went to JC Penny to pick up our 1 year old/Christmas pictures. Alison really likes her new car seat!

Look who we found at the JC Penny lost and found!

It's long lost Monkey! Alison now has 4 monkeys!!

We bought her two but they changed the eyes to plastic instead of embroidery so we didn't feel OK with her sleeping with them so JG found an embroidered eye one for her little Alison!
