Dancing Baby-- go Allison

Allison just started walking really good within the past week and tonight we caught this video of her dancing with Hannah and Mackenzie. She did pretty dang good-- I love that she wants to do everything her sisters are doing. Today in Mackenzie's tumbling class she kept trying to do front rolls--it was so cute! She is getting too big, too fast.

Bubbles

The weather was beautiful yesterday so after dinner we went outside to blow bubbles. It was fun to watch the girls blow their own bubbles and chase after the ones Noah blew for them. I love to hear their little delightful squeals.

Allison's Here!

Here's me waiting for labor to start. My doctor broke my water at 8am and 3 hours later I was still not having contractions-- aaargh. In the meantime Noah was texting Granny and she said it would be cool if she was born at 2:22 on 2/22. I quickly said, "No, that's too far away." Then I said, "1:10 would be good." Finally they put me on pitocin and after increasing the dosage once I was finally progressing . . . quickly. Within 40 minutes of contractions starting our little Allison finally arrived.


Allison Paige Wilmes arrived on 2/22/10 at 1:10 pm. (Yep, I totally called it :) ) She was 8 lbs 9.7 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. The first words out of my mouth when I saw her were, "Wow, she's big." She had little rolls and everything! She sure is a little angel.


A little bit later Nana & Papa brought Hannah & Mackenzie up to see her. They absolutely adored their new little sister. I remember looking up at Noah surrounded by all my little girls and telling him that this was a little glimpse of heaven. . . . and it really was a tender moment for all of us.


This is the next day (2/23) Our little Allison and I were ready to go home.

I couldn't figure out how to delete this awful picture of me so now the whole world gets to see it because I didn't want to redo my whole post. LOL

Here's the proud daddy of our 3 little girls. He's a great dad- our girls are so lucky to have him and so am I. Welcome to the fam' little Allie, Allie, Allison.

My mom bought us a ready-to-decorate Haunted House last year after Halloween so last Friday I got it out for my niece and nephew (Shantae and Nick) to decorate. Of course, it didn't take long for Hannah to join in the fun. She put most of the bubblegum pumpkins on the roof.

Her favorite part of decorating was eating the icing- mmmm!

Here is Hannah working so hard to get the pumpkin on just right. She is a little perfectionist. I love that she is getting to be so crafty--it's a blast!

Here's the finished product. I thought it turned out really cute!

We finally did it!!

Oh yes. My mother-in-law convinced me that I need to blog. Actually I've been wanting to for a while but have been totally clueless how to really get started-- so she is my tutor :) Thank you! Hopefully I can do a good job of keeping you all up to date on all of our fun days as "Noah's Girls."
