These Days

Maybe we take a million pictures of our Andlie. Maybe that's what every blog post is about. Maybe we love her clear to the sky. And back. A thousand bazillion times. And she's ours. So what if all the blog posts are about our star?

These days we've tried finger-painting. Someone hated it so bad that she cried until snot was coming out of her nose. She had to be comforted with all her comfort items. Maybe we'll start small - like being okay with getting food on her hands.
These days we've been swimming and loved every second! Andlie even got a new suit!
These days we've learned new tricks with our binks! (With the help of Daddy.)
These days we've found our sunglasses and sported them around the house all day!
These days we've gotten a day job as a secretary. Man, those phones ring wild sometimes.
These days we've painted our toes for the first time!
These days we've gotten our first do of piggies!! Aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen?!

And now you know why every single one of our posts is about Andlie. It's because she's so cute. And lovable. And we love her the most. The end.

Going, Going, Gone!


Andlie's book box suddenly became something much more fun!

Happy!

How cute is that?!

Andlie has also learned sFont sizeome other new words recently. She can now say:

Dada
Mama
Santa (Tata)
HoHoHo
Dog (Da)
Cluck Cluck Cluck (She says this when she sees a chicken. Tonight I asked her if she wanted some chicken. Her reply? "Cluck cluck cluck.")
Woe (She says this when she falls down or something is shocking to her.)
Elmo (Momo)
Cookie
Cracker (Cracka)
Rocka Rocka (She says this when she's in her rocking chair.)
Happy

Although I'll be so sad when her tiny babbling voice goes away, I love that she's learning to talk! Yay, Andlie!!

Mmmmmmm, Sugar!

"Mmmmmmm, syrup!"
"Mmmmmmm, ice cream!"
Andlie truly walks around the house "drinking" the syrup saying, "Mmmmmmm." Sugar lover. And she knows what "put it away" means and puts it right back on the correct shelf. Smartie pants. Like Mother & Father, like daughter.

Vaycay, Baby!

We went to Salt Lake to do some wedding shopping for May 8 and then the Allens stayed for some Spring Break fun! (It's our last Spring Break ever, you know! Pretty soon, school will be over forever!)

Saturday, March 13, we:
Woke up early and hit the road! We had a fun day shopping at the mall and hanging with the fam. (Grandma & Grandpa are fun toys and playin' buddies.)

Sunday, March 14, we:
Went to Music and the Spoken Word on Temple Square.

Andlie & Bryan waited outside because Andlie is not allowed in. (She's not really that good at sitting still or being quiet, so that's okay.)

Then we said good-bye to the Goodwins and went to Krispy Kreme! Mmmmm!

Monday, March 15, we:
Hit up the Hogle Zoo with the Browns!

Andlie led the way. (Wonder where she gets her independent personality from?)

We saw a whole bunch of animals! Andlie's fave was the monkeys (she kept talking to them like they could understand), mine was the tiny elephant and giraffe (how hard would it be to bring them home and have them as pets), and Bryan's was the tiger (just lazily hangin' out in the sun)!

Andlie got a little tuckered out by the end.

Bryan & I took our own photo booth pics while we were waiting for Isabelle and Hayden (and Heidi) to ride the carousel. We're funny.

Then, Jazz game, baby!
Thank you to the following people for making this trip possible.
Mom & Dad for buying us the hotel room and food on Saturday!
Todd, Heidi, Isabelle, and Hayden for letting us crash at their house and eat all of their food!
Mindy & Jazz Bear for getting us tickets to the Jazz game!
Heidi's Mom & Dad for tending Andlie while we went to the game!
The nice woman behind us who took our picture at the game!

We had so much fun and can't wait for our next family vaycay! We'll definitely need one for Bryan's graduation in 44 days!
