Happy Birthday Allison!

Happy Birthday Allison! A.K.A. Allie, Z, Tornado Allie, F5, Yellison, A-Z, the Flash, PITA, the list goes on. She is exhausting, but we love her so. "I have never been so tired in my life" as Rachel puts it. But she still has us wrapped around her finger. We are just glad we have made it two years.




Here is Allie running off at Lake Erie. She's giving me the catch me if you can look.



The best ice cream cones are always somebody else's.



Allie's favorite things to do with crayons. Throwing them, and interior decorating.



Mmmmm raw green pepper. Give her a raw onion and call it lunch. Who would have know, we can't get her to eat much else.



Well.... unless there is competition involved. Notice the elbow to the eye, keeping Emma away from the goods.



These were about an F5 on the Tornado Alley fujita scale. Usually you can follow a path of destruction though the house to see exactly where she has been. The photos do not do the mess justice. These messes are never isolated to one location. Take note of the scissors on the kitchen table.




One of the few foods she does like to eat is dried pasta. She sneaks it from the kitchen, hides in the corner, and crunches away. And the photos are documenting what happens when we take it away. Just your typical meltdown, and falling to the ground (which she has learned to do slowly or into a soft object as seen above, so as not to hurt her head).



Her collection of pacifiers she was hording.



Allie loves animals.




Queen of everything (she does rule our world, we try not to let her know that).



These photos are a bit decieving since it looks like she is posing like a little angel. But really, she had climbed back into a nook where it was difficult to reach her, and she sat very content.

We love our little Allison, she is definitely a unique and strong personality. Life would definitely be dull without her.
