First trip to Africa

Ali was super impressed by the new African exhibit at the Peoria Zoo!

Highchair

Ali has officially joined the family for meals! Gavin loves sitting next to her and makes sure she has a toy to play with since she doesn't actually get to eat food yet.

Ali's 6 month picture

6 month birthday

I had to take a picture of Ali on her 6 month birthday even though we didn't throw a party

First boat ride

Here is Ali taking her first boat ride!

Attack of the baby sister

I was going to take a picture of Gavin and Ali and just as I started to take the picture Ali reached over and started grabbing Gavin and laughing!

10 reasons why I really needed this today.....

1. It rained and ruined our playdate
2. We had to go to the dr. and got soaking wet
3. Gavin whined all the way through the grocery store because we didn't get the car cart
4. It took 2 hours for Gavin to go to sleep for his nap
5. Ali took a 20 minute nap
6. Abbey pooped in the toy room
7. Abbey peed in my bed
8. I laid down in my bed to find out that Abbey had peed in it
9. It rained AGAIN so Gavin couldn't play outside after he finally took a nap
10. Gavin was crabby and whiny ALL DAY.....meltdown after meltdown!

So I put Ali on her playmat while I made meatballs for dinner and next thing I knew she had rolled over and gone to sleep....whew...I seriously needed that after this really crummy day.
