When I was looking through all the pictures I downloaded, I noticed that I have not put very many on my blog lately. (Except Easter). So here is a little look at a few photos:


She has really been into Cinderella lately. She has only watched the movie a few times, but she really likes the mice and "sings" along with the songs.


She LOVES to read. I think we read about 20 books (min.) a day!

Playing outside with her water table.
(Do you see why it is just water and there is no sand?)

I have let her start feeding herself when we are at home. She is a little messy!

Daddy dressed her this day. (Like the socks? And the hair?)

Josh has decided that he is going to be the one to teach her about money.

Isn't that the cutest little pony tail ever? She looks like a little girl!

Her and Bo in their UNC shirts watching a game.


This is her new vacuum that she loves. She walked around the house for over half an hour today with it.

Ok, this next picture needs a little bit of an explanation. No, I do not beat my child! This picture is from her head trauma yesterday. To make a long story short, she was walking and fell hard onto the floor beside our front door. I watched her fall (from behind), but it didn't seem that bad. I picked her up, looked and there was no blood. It was just a little red. So, I carried her to the kitchen, grabbed her paci, and then went to get her "Boo Boo Bear" from the fridge. All this took about 30 to 45 seconds. (We don't have that big of a house!) As I was walking to the kitchen, she had her head leaning on my shoulder and was looking away from me. When I looked down, my shirt had a huge bloodstain on it. I quickly sat her down to look at her face. I am not lying; she had a softball size bump coming out of her head! I totally freaked!!!! Now, I normally try to remain calm, but my heart dropped, tears came to my eyes, and I panicked. I called Josh, who had luckily just pulled into the driveway. I told him to get inside NOW! He came in and had (almost) the same reaction as I did. He took her and by this time she had stopped crying. I started asking him what we should do. He told me to calm down and that we were going to wait 30 minutes to see if the swelling went down. If she started crying again, or there was any change, we would go get her checked out. Well, by the end of the 30 minutes, the swelling had gone down a lot (to about the size of a golf ball.) We decided that we would monitor her, but we thought she was going to be ok. The swelling is almost gone now. I think she had a pretty bad headache, but rest and Tylenol have seemed to bring her back to normal. This is how she looked today. It's not pretty, but it could have been worse.

    Awww...poor thing. When Nathan was about 2 he was reaching for something in the top dresser drawer and it tipped over on him. I freaked out and as I was picking the dresser up, the drawer fell out and hit him in the head. I freaked out and called Dustin at work, he rushed home and we took him to the ER. His head looked almost identical to how Alyse's looks in that picture. He was fine, but I felt terrible. Since then, every single piece of furniture that could possibly tip over in our house has been bolted down. It was a scary lesson though.

    I love the picture of her and the dog watching the game, where did you get that hair bow? It's so cute!
