I love how her big blue eyes smile. They just light up whenever she gets excited.
Tyler told me the other day that "Every day is Allie's birthday, right?" I said "Yes...for the first year!" I love it.
Allie is my grabby crab. She reaches out and grabs everything. When I'm carrying her around the kitchen table she will pull the curtain along with us. She always grabs Justin's ear when he gives her a hug. When I rock her to sleep on my shoulder, she reaches one arm around the back of my neck and grabs a fist full of my hair.
I really like this picture. A perfect profile.
Tyler and Allie are good buddies. They just love each other. I get choked up looking at this picture of Tyler hugging her. I just love the look of adoration in his eyes. She looks a little smothered...but she never cries or acts like she doesn't like his attention. I'm always reminding him not to get right up in her face. But, I think she loves it. I need to chill. Sit back and let them enjoy each other.
I love how she nuzzled into me. She'll grabs tight to my neck with both hands and attacks my cheek with her open-mouth. I can't help but giggle. Then we both get the hic-ups! Ha ha!
Justin is such a great big brother. He is Allie's bodyguard. He is always looking out for her safety and anticipates what we can do to help her to be more comfortable or happy. I love that he is such a responsible boy. I let him hold her when I need to go do something around the house for a few minutes. He has fun and "walks" her down the hall to meet me wherever I am. He walks on his knees and holds her up so she can hop across the room with him. She gets the biggest smile on her face and her eyes just about pop. It's adorable.
