I have been woefully lazy about keeping up to date on this blog. With grad school and Alison being more active, it’s been hard to find time. Of couse there has been much activity since the last blog – Alison’s first Christmas, she’s now rolling, trying to crawl, and blabbing all the time. Following is her 7 month birthday pic, and pics from her 7th month. Hopefully someone is still paying attention to this blog!
Snuggle time:
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow… I took Alison to the Macy’s Christmas light show 3 times, she loved it so much. This time Uncle Richie came along. This is something I did when I was a child, and I was happy to share it with Alison.
At Home
Alison loves sitting in her Svan high chair, and we love how it’s easy to use, adorable, and has a small footprint. Now we just need to get a table and chairs to sit it at!
Play Time
Alison spends lots of time playing on the floor. She loves to sit up and see everything happening around her, and one of her new favorite past times is looking through magazines.
Ali’s getting pretty good at standing:
Christmas time is here
Alison had a wonderful first Christmas. We went for walks through Rittenhouse Square on both Christmas Eve and Christmas day, Ali hung an ornament on the tree in the park, she got lots and lots of presents, she went to her cousins Bob and Liz’s for Christmas and loved spending time with her family so much she stayed up way past her bedtime on Christmas.

Alison was a very happy girl on Christmas:
Alison always tries to take our drinks, so we thought it was time to let her have a drink. Here’s her first drink from a cup, apple juice. Of course, she loved it. Check out our Buddha baby!
