Mid-October Photo Upload

Sorry for the lack of updates. Busy as usual. Here are some pics to tide y'all over...



Alice found Daddy's flask, and realized it was just a metal sippy cup. Good thing it was full of Juicy Juice! :)



She's been into "collecting" things, and wanting all of "same" types of objects. Jaime got a pic when Alice decided she had to have ALL of her bibs.



We went up north a few weeks ago to celebrate my Uncle Glen's 80th birthday. Grandma and Grandpa even flew in from Vegas for the occasion, so we all hooked up in Lancaster at Great Grandma and Grandpa's house. Yay!



At the birthday party (in a church gym/lunchroom/function room) Alice decided to put herself in danger and climb all over dangerous stuff.



Alice with Great Grandma and Grandpa.



A kiss from her biggest fan, Cousin Katey!



Giving some love to Grandma and Grandpa.



The Birthday Boy's family...Cousins Jomie, Seeto, and Faith and Auntie Phyllis and Uncle Glen.



We stopped at a Toys R Us on the way home and Alice got to try out some toys. She like the rocking horse...



And the push-trike...



...but wasn't too sure about the big moving horse.



Alice striking a catalog pose in her cute little Beatles shirt.

Officially a Toddler

Alice is walking...all over the place. Lon and I realized on Sunday that we hadn't seen her crawl once that day, and she hasn't really crawled at all this week. It's all walking, all the time!!

Things have been super busy here (thus the lack of updates). Besides walking, Alice is doing a lot of new things. She can point out all the animals in her books and make a cow sound (more like mmmm than moooo) She knows who all the people are in the pictures on mommy's magnetic board on her desk. And thanks to daddy, she can point out Luke and Chewbacca among others on the Star Wars poster in the hall. :)

Now on to the pics

Alice has started carrying Elmo with her wherever we go. She isn't so good at holding on to him sometimes and he has been run over by the cart at Target and the stroller a couple of times already

Having fun in the sand last Daddy-Daughter Wednesday


Modeling her Evil Alice Corporation shirt


A couple of pics on her bus, which she sits on all the time.

Crossing the bridge at the park

Cute kitty shirt from Amy Jo and Dale...it finally fits!

Giving the cat a hug

Playing with her baby doll. She gives the doll the bottle and makes a sucking sound. It's super cute!!

Feeding herself strawberry applesauce...yum!

Most of the pics taken in the past few days are similar to this...baby charging towards you too busy to stop

Lounging in her totally 80's outfit

Alice Mae in: "Walkin'"

Some video of the earlier steps in Alice's walking career. She's gotten a lot better since these. We'll get some new video in the near future. She still gets pretty excited when she gets up on two legs and usually laughs or screams. Pretty soon we'll be chasing her around the house. :)
