I have no idea how the "professional" or "amateur" bloggers do daily or even weekly blogs without scheduling it into their day and locking themselves into a quiet room to do it! It's been since November, over 6 months since my last post. In a nut-shell: Allison-Rae turned 1 on Christmas Day and Mom kept the tears to a minimum...her 18 month Birthday (yesterday sadly enough) was a different story. Mom and Dad felt in January that they should wait until June or July to start for #2 because they just didn't want to load on another Holiday baby...jinx jinx jinx! Anniversary #3 brought pregnancy #2 and now we're due on December 17th!!! haha! That'll teach us to wish for certain things we DON'T want! We are going to find out what this one is on August 1st, I'll do my best to not go another 6 months to update on our new addition! Allie started taking steps and standing in November-December, but wasn't all that intersted in walking until mid-February. It didn't take her long to discover how much cooler walking is than crawling! Allie kept us busy through the spring although we only got to go sledding once and no skiing due to no snow matching up with her walking, but next year!! Early April we found out we were expecting again so the following weeks were not so much fun - sick again. Although this time was worse for sickness, it didn't last as long. I got medication right away, did acupuncture 2-3 times a week for about a month and kept food in my stomach. I am now at 15 1/2 weeks and feeling better. Not 100% but much better than I was at 15 weeks with AR!
Here are random pictures from the year. Enjoy and I'll try try try to be better at the updates! Oh, I forgot to write about AR's teeth - she has a ton now! She got the 6 and then didn't get anymore until about March/April. She got her molars and 4+ more teeth came in shortly after. I think she has 14 now?

In January we started swimming lessons and LOVE the water!
We went on a sleigh ride with Grammy and had so much fun
Getting so big - and really like the tub even if we're not taking a bath
I throught this was teething but I'm pretty sure now that it was "slapped cheek disease"
Happy Valentine's Day!
