A playdate for Ali

This picture cracks me up. Ellery is looking at Ali like hey when did you learn to stand up! And Ali is just smiling at her as usual.

A haircut for Ali

Gavin was sitting at his little table doing an art project and I was sitting on the floor next to him while Ali crawled between us under the table and back. All of a sudden Gavin reached down with his scissors and said I am going to cut Ali's hair quicker than I could say NOOOOOOO! So Ali had her first haircut at 8 months with little to spare. :( I was able to save the little patch of hair for her baby book and Gavin will be happy to know when he gets older that he gave his sister her first haircut. It was actually quite traumatizing for me, but I am over it now. You can see the little snip on the top of her head.

All Smiles!

This girl never stops smiling! She is the happiest baby I have ever met. No matter where we go someone always comments on how smiley she is.

I can stand!

Ali isn't wasting any time learning new tricks. She is already pulling up and standing on everything. She will be walking before we know it!

Gavin with the girls!

This is Gavin and Ali with our neighbor Ellery. She is 2 months younger than Ali. I am sure they will be great friends when they get older!

Busy Girl

Ali has been on the move since right about 6 months. She is trying to keep up with her brother!
