Been A Long Time!

Let's get y'all up to speed:

Alice is now a walking/dancing machine who has had her first visit to the ER. She loves oranges and staying up late. Her vocabulary is building, but she's too shy to talk around anyone. She has SIX teeth. Let's look at some photos, okay?


Sitting on Daddy's guitar, lightly strumming, while watching Blues Clues.


We bought Alice a table and chair set at Ikea, so she'd have a place to draw, color, etc... She fell out of the chair and bumped her head, so we put those away. For now, she'll just stand at the table.


Alice makes this face when a phone rings, when the doorbell rings, or when the microwave dings. It's a ring-ding face.


Wearin' hats is where it's at.


Alice and I put the tree up. She's a good helper.


Hat? Nope. Bikini bottom. Pretty cute stuff.


Look who showed up for Christmas: GRANDPA!


Alice found my dirty "printing cap."


Sitting with Mommy, opening a gift on "Little Christmas Eve." (An Olesen family tradition.)


One of the only pics we got of her in her cute Christmas outfit. The sweater came off eventually, as she got hot.
