Katelyn in the exersaucer for the first time!

She was so interested in all the toys.  Allison was right there with her telling her all about it.

Allison and Katelyn

Katelyn receiving on of Allison's many kisses.  She is never quite sure what to think when Allison comes up to her.
Allison watching Marley and Me for the 20th time.  She loves this movie and it became her favorite when I was home on maternity leave.  She knows all the characters names and is now reciting lines.  Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Katelyn at 3 Weeks Old

Allison came home from daycare on Friday wearing her pilgrim hat. I asked her if she knew what a Pilgrim was and she said, "yes, they went on a boat and they lived in houses."

Katelyn was lying in her crib. I am pretty sure she smiled for the first time.
All Mommy wants for Christmas is a silent night, at least 4 straight hours!!

Allison's Third Birthday Party

Summer Fun!

Jon's 31st birthday dinner. Jon's parents and Charles came over to eat and have cake.  Allison had a great time.  As usual, she loves parties.


Allison knows how to turn the hose on herself, and started drinking the water right from the hose!  She looks so big in this picture.Allison has spent many days in the pool with us this summer.  Each day she grew more and more comfortable.  A few days ago, she wanted to "swim" with her water wings.  I don't have any pictures, but today she swam without me or Jon holding on to her at all.  She was so proud of herself.

Ben, Nichole and Emma came to visit.  Jon picked up Emma because she started to cry, and Allison wanted to be picked up too.

Accessorizing is Allison's new thing this summer.  We bought her a couple necklaces and a bracelet at the Sanford Summer Day's festival.  The sunglasses complete the look.
Popham beach was fun for her, because she could swim in the tidal pool that fills up.  

Bar Harbor Trip

First night in Bar Harbor after dinner at the Bar Harbor Inn.  Allison was so excited to see the boats in the harbor.  The one with the red boat in the background is my favorite picture.

Harbor Cruise on the 151 foot schooner, named the Margaret Todd.
