Mouth, Pockets, Nose
Since Allie was tiny, everything has gone in to her mouth. She loves to chew on rocks and eat sand. Lately, she's been putting things in her pockets to store it for later. I find rocks in the laundry all the time.
Yesterday she discovered a new place to put stuff....her nose. She had shredded a piece of tissue and stuck it so far up her nose I could hardly see it. She came to me sneezing and eyes watering. I was able to get it out without too much trouble and we had the "don't ever put anything in your nose" conversation. I thought she'd learned her lesson, until I caught her two more times with tissue in her nose. Come to think of it, she did get a giant Tick-tack stuck in her nose a couple months ago so maybe it'll take a trip to the emergency room before she learns her lesson.
Random Allie Conversations
The other day we had this conversation:
Allie: Daddy?
Me: Daddy had to go back to work
Allie: Why?
Me: To make money
Allie: Why?
Me: So we can buy food
Allie: Why?
Me: So we can eat
Allie: Why?
Me: So we can live
Allie: Why?
Me: Because God made us that way
Allie: Oh!
The "why?" conversations have begun...yippee.
Yesterday Allie was laying in my bed after Tim left for work. She sat up and tooted. "I toot!" Oh yay! She's such a polite almost 2 year old. :)

Tutu
So, here it is. It's hard to see what it really looks like. The flash on the camera made the shimmer tulle really too shiny. But, let me know what you think.

Different
Allie is 21 months old today. In my perfectly planned little world, she would be getting ready to welcome a new baby to the family in the next couple months. But, she's not...not yet. My sister and I are 22 months apart and are very close. I wanted that for Allie. A sibling between 21 and 25 months apart is what I thought would be perfect. But, that's not what God had planned and in my heart I know that His ways are higher and better than mine. We pray that Allie will have a sibling soon that she'll be able to play with, but if she's the only child we have the priviledge of raising we are so incredibly blessed to have her. She is the light of our life. Man, I can't believe how much she has grown and changed in the last 21 months and I can't believe how much I love this fiesty, sweet little angel.
