packed up the baby toys...

Its a sad and exciting day to go through all of Allies toys and pack up all of the "baby" toys she has. Shes a big girl now. As much as I love her growing up and look forward to each stage of life its always sad to look back at little toys and clothes when she was so tiny. Maybe we need another baby in this house? :)

So my little lady is a little sponge. I don't realize how much she picks up each day its amazing. I don't even know half the time where she learns things. She has now learned almost every body part from finger to cheeks. She loves to color, babble on her fake phone, and clean up. She has officially become addicted to Airplanes. We have a couple static airplanes on our base so everytime we get in the car she does the sign for airplane and starts getting herself VERY excited. Its so funny. We then drive by them and she waves and says airplane in sign language. She is able to see an airplane in the sky from a crazy far distance. I guess its in her blood :)
Allie is officially weaned and goes to bed all by herself. We take a bath, read a couple books, pray, have a minute snuggle and I put her into bed. Allie then looks at me and waves, like see you later mom. So funny. Nothing like a little girl who loves her bed. There are things as a mom that you look back at and wish you did things differently but this is one of the successes for me. To make the weaning process painless, which it was, and have her go to bed all on her own and sleep 12 hours straight no matter what the time I put her to bed, which she does. Now if I could just figure out how to discipline a 15month old? Nothing more frustrating than Allie doing something I told her not to and then telling her no and then having her laugh. ugh. Every time I tell her No she just looks at me and laughs. I may have a little stinker on my hands. Too smart for her own good. Any advice?

We are so excited for Easter! I love Easter. I love to celebrate the resurrection of my precious Savior. I love the joy of Easter. I also love all the celebrations of Easter. I can't wait to put eggs all over the yard and let Allie find them and put them in her basket. She is all about collecting items and putting them in buckets. So fun.

Till next time...
