Big Girl Alli

Alli turned 18 months this past week and what a big girl she is!!! She loves to do whatever her brother and sister are doing and can usually keep up. :) She is such a fun and fiery little girl who makes the most messes out of any of my children and yet we are just love her to pieces. Here is a list of things she is doing currently:

• eats cheerios for breakfast almost every morning
• favorite movie "baby songs"
• loves to cuddle with us in the mornings
• rips our glasses off any chance she can get
• loves to dance to music
• conducts the music for FHE

She is so tall and is growing so fast. I looked at her the other day and didn't see a baby anymore (sigh). Kennedy and Xander love her so much and take such great care of her. Derek is wrapped around her "little finger" and she knows it. She has been really clingy to me lately and I have loved all the snuggle time I have gotten lately. I just love my little bell!
