1.She is officially crawling! She started off scooting around and going backwards and doing the army crawl at 7 months. 3 days before she turned 8 months she figured out how to go forward and she hasn't slowed down yet! 
cute story... We picked her up from church 3 weeks ago and they had her in the bumbo chair and she was NOT happy and you could tell she had been crying. So the next week, I told them she hated the bumbo and sits on her own very well. When we picked her up last week, she was sitting on the floor with 2 other babies; but they were in the bumbo chairs and it looked so cute b/c it was like she was showing them how to do it! She was just as content as could be!2.She can drink from a straw and a regular cup now (still a little messy with the cup- but overall great).
3.We had to take off the bumper pads on the crib b/c Allie was untying the ribbons (while she was suppose to be napping) and she can pull herself up in the crib. I went to check on her the other day at nap time b/c she was quiet and I peeked through the door crack to find her sitting up and staring right at me! It made me laugh so hard b/c I was caught! This is how she used to sleep, holding onto the bumper and blanket over her face! She always sleeps on her left side as well.
4.She got her "big girl" car seat b/c she would arch her back and cry every time I put her in the other one! She actually only had 1 1/2 in. until she outgrew it anyways (the Keyfit 30) she is in the 95% for her height!
Old infant seat.
New child seat. In case you can't see, her feet already touch the carseat and she has 4 more months of riding rear facing in this!
5.She started eating regular food mashed up and teething biscuits. LIKES everything, including pickles! This picture was of her very first bite.

6.Her two top teeth have officially broken though. She now has 4 teeth and the 2 upper and lower ones came in at the same time. (is that common?)
7.She has learned how to be just like Ralph!
8.She can pull her self up into a standing position now. This is her basket of toys!
Jon's parent's celebrated their 5oth wedding anniversary in September, so we took them to dinner and Allie was quite the happy one!
Dinner to celebrate my Mom's birthday. Allie's cousin's are a few years older than her! Jon was out of town.
A fun story... Our house is on the market and 2 Saturday's ago Allie was still taking her nap when the people showed up, so I told Jon to tell them I was staying in her room while they looked and he could take the dogs and leave. As he went outside I heard him say "We watch your t.v. show!" I looked out the window and I see Jen and Bill from TLC's show "The little couple"!!!! I raced down the stairs to meet them and they really are as short as they look on t.v.! They were so nice and Jon got to show them around! It would be hilarious if they bought our house and it was on tv! We didn't get a picture with them b/c Jon "chickened out" and didn't ask them when they were leaving (I was in her bedroom)! :o( Oh well, it's still fun to have celebrities come look at your house and they liked it!....
