Allison likes her bumbo particularly for eating.

My pretty daughters got these dresses for Christmas, and I just now got around to taking a picture of them wearing them. I imagine it won't be the last time they wear matching clothes.

I often say and think that none of my children look anything like me. But as Lydia gets older, I'm seeing a little bit of similarities. What do you think?

Yesterday I finished reading Pollyanna to the kids. I loved it. The boys really liked it too, and often requested a second chapter. I love it when we can find a book that we all really enjoy, especially when the book has such a good moral and message. The boys talk about "the glad game" and I've even heard them playing it without prompting. I give it a five star rating.
We watched half of the movie tonight, (we'll finish it tomorrow.) It's the 1960 movie that I remember loving as a child. But it's disappointing how different from the book it is. We are all in agreement that the book is better, as these things always go.

Earlier this year I read Howliday Inn to the kiddos for school. It's a sequel to Bunnicula, but instead of a vampire bunny, it's a couple of werewolf dachshund that the main characters, (which are a dog and cat) are worried about. The boys seemed to have difficulty keeping the different characters straight. They didn't know if it was a dog, cat, or person who was talking. But they liked it. It wasn't my favorite, but I've read worse for sure.

Allison wakes up pretty happy usually, and I love it. Check out her cuteness.

Allison is rolling over now, from her back to her stomach. But then she gets mad because she hates being on her tummy, and she can't roll back. She is also starting to do a little giggle thing, which is absolutely adorable. She's pretty ticklish too, but doesn't really know how to react to tickles.
We just love Allison. I can't believe she's almost four months old already.

Monday was such a lovely weather day! It was t-shirt weather. I needed to clean out the van after our road trip, and needed Allison to be happy and close by. So I got out the stroller. Actually, David got it out and dusted all the cobwebs off of it for me. Yuck. Once we were sure there were no spiders, Alli got her first experience in the stroller. She really liked the motion of it. She was pretty fussy Monday, but if she was moving in the stroller she was happy, and usually sleeping.

Lydia enjoyed pushing the baby around too, which was nice, since cleaning out the car required me to not push the baby, and being still for too long brought forth crying.
