Big Weekend for Alison!

Alison had quite the Thanksgiving weekend! A list of her accomplishments -

  • She turned 11 months old on Thanksgiving Day!
  • Her third tooth finally broke the surface (Top left front - Pop Pop knows the correct term). Number 4 is not far behind
  • And, last night after we got home she must have really wanted to stretch her legs. Lately, she's been taking a couple steps without holding anything about once a week. Last night, she did several series of multiple steps. She started by walking four steps from the tv to me while I was laying on the floor. Later, she left the coffee table and headed for the kitchen taking about 10 steps. She's never done that before; walked when she didn't have something close by to reach at the end of a few steps. Then she did several series of steps in the front living room. Big night!

Here's a few photos from the weekend -

This looks like a posed photo for her senior year.....time needs to slow waaaaaaaay down

A "toothy" grin (hey, beggars can't be choosers when you only have 2 people can see)

Very excited to be steppin' out....
How big is Alison???? So Big! (I now owe Elmo 15 cents in royalties)

Awesome photos - and Matt, don't go paying ANY royalties, I was the queen of SO BIG and Elmo hadn't even been invented when I was a year old back in 1957.
