Playing Guitar and Singing

Oh boy - look at me - I am playing the Guitar with Grandpa Ed. It is really fun because he lets me play too. Do you see the picture on the floor - that is the latest artwork he completed. It is Uncle Nicky's pupper - Capone.

Life's a Peach

Here I am enjoying my first peach or first piece of fruit for that matter. It was such a juicy peach that mom thought it would be fun for me to try. Does everything taste this good?

My Boyfriend's Back

Well - A few weeks late in keeping you all up to date about my life but boy have I been a busy girl. Had a date on the 20th with my boyfriend Bjorn. He was swinging thru town with his mom and dad and decided to stop by for a chat. We had some fun talking and playing with the Valleyfair.

He hopes to be back visiting soon.

Swinging on a Swing

Look at me - I'm swinging. Mommy and I went out with my cousin Anna and her mom to the park. It was my first time to the park and I had a blast. I got to go down the slide with mom, sit on the teeter-totter with Anna and swing by myself. What a fun day.

6 Months Old

At 6 months Alyson:

Walks holding mom and dads hands

Talks in her own words to Maddie

Loves to eat her food and sit in her highchair

Snuggle up to anyone who holds her

Pulls herself up to stand from some one's hands

She is quite the most precious babe in the world to her parents....

Happy Mother's Day Mommy

So what a lucky mom was I this year. My mother was nice enough to take Aly in the morning so Ryan and I could play golf with our friend Todd. The morning was chilly but the course was great.

The rest of the day was spent outdoors on a walk and enjoying the surprisingly hot sunny weather that arrived in the afternoon.

The evening ended with my mom, brother, Aunt Pat, Cousin Kristin and Cousin Julie, Paul and Anna Rae for Sushi dinner.. Luckily there were many children with their mothers as well so all of the chaos seemed just like normal.

The days are flying by - Aly is now officially 6 months old. We have our doctor's appt next Tuesday - and we cannot wait to see how Aly is growing.

Aly's First Swim

Aly got a pool from her Grandma Griffin a few weeks ago and we finally had a warm day to enjoy the pool. Some of the neighborhood kids stopped by to see Aly take a dip so it was a fun time for everyone. Thanks to Auntie too for the fun sunglasses.
