Allison is becoming such a fun girl. She's always been happy and social and spirited but now, ohh now she's walking around being a little person! She's responding to what we say and doing exactly what she wants; sometimes it's what we want too. She's trying to help us, she's expressing her feelings, she's just so awesome. It's amazing to watch her change and discover this world. i still can't believe she's walking!!!! And i'm in awe that we get to experience this joy two more times.

Sesame Street is now a part of our lives. i think that's a good thing, it has lots of positives and it allows us a few minutes to get things done in the mornings. She loves the beginning part, anything with Cookie Monster or Elmo, and the ending, mainly because it's familiar. She has started to protest food, which is normal for her age, and has come face to face with "the time out chair". So far it's working. i know it's still a game for her but the mere mention of the time out chair and she starts behaving again for me. Ahhh the excitement...

Allison and her people.

Showing off her new socks.

Giving Kadin a kiss.

Giving Kadin his binky... and then taking it back out.

And the babies looking twinny.

Also, the babies had 2oz. each of formula in the last 24 hours. That's it! i'm amazed because they're eating 4oz. each every 3 hours... that's 64oz. Minus a little bit for their longer stretch at night, that's still at least 54oz. i'm able to give them. i'm so proud of that.

The babies are at a really sweet age. They are still newborns but not quite so tiny and fragile. They're getting chub on their thighs, they're smiling a tiny bit, and they've got a decent schedule going on (waiting 4 hours at night to eat, sometimes more). If we could just get through this sick/cold part, things would be much better.

Allison has had a fever off and on since yesterday due to her shots, around 100.5, which is high for a baby under 3 months. Luckily she's been sleeping well, so by this evening i'm hoping she'll be back to normal.

Even when she's under the weather she still looks gorgeous... and happy.

Still trying to capture that smile...

Miss Alli has been a smiley girl today. Starting at 4am i think, when we were hanging out on the couch, after one hour of sleep. It absolutely melts my heart though... she just lights up. Capturing it on my camera is the tricky part.
