ally loves to stand in her crib and jump. lately she has started looking out her window…it is so cute to watch. here are two videos i took this morning of her!!

ally loves to dance to the music that comes from her piano and toy table. it is so cute!

we have had such amazing weather for january and february that we decided to head out for a hike along the bluffs of montana de oro. it is a perfect hike with a stroller…FLAT! it was beautiful!!

we dedicated our sweet ally to jesus on january 18th.

we visited the elephant seals with gma and gg. it was so crazy to see all those elepant seals out on the beach. they are just past hearst castle from about the end of dec until the end of march. it was definitely a sight.

growing into my helmet

gma and gpa boudreau bought ally a helmet for our bike rides. unfortunately, the helmet is too big to ride yet. but hopefully SOON!!

i know it has been too long since an update (this is for you GG). so let’s think what has happened in ally’s life…she is standing now and holding onto things. this has been the cause of many bumps and bruises, but i guess this is the only way to learn. she is still eating EVERYTHING and i sometimes wonder if i kept putting food in front of her whe she would stop. haha she is still only saying “dada”, nothing but dada, all the time DADA!! still no teeth either, we might make it to 1 without any. ”

we are planning her first birthday, sooooo…keep the last two weekends open. i cannot believe she is going to be 1. the time has gone by SO much faster than i ever thought it would. i love her little personality SO much (the way she dances at her piano, the way she peeks at me from the side of her eyes, her signing “more” (clapping hands together) at the high chair, the way she chases Nelson around) Gosh, I could go on for days. we can’t wait to celebrate with her.
