Alyssa is 15 months old today. It's amazing how fast time goes with two kids. She isn't our little baby anymore. She still looks like a little baby since she is so small, but she doesn't act like it :) She is starting to talk a lot more. I'm sure most people wouldn't understand anything she says, but we can. She says mom, dada (which she says the most), Dallin, more, done, truck, bye bye, bath, snack, outside, shoes and more that I can't remember. She tries to copy what we say, and sometimes gets it...sometimes not.
She is a climber. I caught her up on Dallin's bed, on her kitchen, and trying to climb onto the countertops in the kitchen from a chair she moved. We have to watch her carefully now :) She thinks she can do whatever Dallin does, and Dallin tries to get her to do everything he is doing. She loves her baby dolls, but she loves playing with trucks more. She loves running and jumping around with her big brother. She loves to read books even if she only lasts for a couple pages. It just means we read 15 books in each sitting :)
She has learned to walk down the stairs now...thankfully she goes slow so I don't have to worry as much. She is very proud of herself. I wish she would just turn around but I guess she has to learn one day.
She loves to wash her hands. She will sit at the sink begging for us to let her wash her hands all the time. She gets a little frustrated when the sink in her kitchen doesn't actually work.
Her absolute favorite thing to do is go play outside. She gets so excited and sits on the stairs ready for us to put on her shoes and coat. Alyssa is just so happy outside. It is still pretty cold, so I hate going but the kids love it so we go out about once a day.
Alyssa loves her big brother. They do everything together. Dallin gets really bored when she goes down for a nap. I hope they stay best friends.
Dallin held her too.
Alyssa was very jealous, and she immediately sat in his lap when it was free. It was pretty cute. I just love this picture of them.
Alyssa and Audrey had fun playing together.
But not as much fun as Dallin and Caleb. It's amazing how as soon as they get together they start laughing and talking in their own language.
She really does point to almost every airplane that flies by us, which is one every minute or so.
Dallin loves watching the ducks at the pond, and he loves throwing rocks.
Always protecting his little sister...he was making sure she didn't get too close.
And to end our perfect day outside, we had a picnic.
Both of them are obsessed with reading books right now.
Dallin got to talk to his friend on skype the other night. Both boys giggled the whole time. Dallin read him books, and they chatted for a few minutes. It was very cute, and he was so excited!
Isn't he just so handsome :)
Her favorite was the water area...not my favorite for winter clothes.
Dallin also loved the water. He is still really nervous from when he got lost at the last museum, so he stayed really close to us :)
Dallin also enjoyed the "air" area.
His favorite was the big chair. They both giggled in this chair.
Terrible picture, but they held hands, (so they wouldn't get lost) and walked all over together. Such good friends :)
