Ally has so much to say lately. She just coos and smiles all the day long. She’s getting cuter and chubbier everyday. The kids love to get her ‘talking’ and she loves when they come play with her. She doesn’t like to be alone, which is lucky since she’s so cute we can hardly set her down.

I’ve discovered two things that unite my otherwise feuding two oldest children- the vacuum, and their baby sister. When I vacuumed this morning they both ran to hide in Matty’s room and played together peacefully packing a backpack full of weapons and supplies to attack the “Ghost Pirates” (vacuum). It was a truly golden moment to see them emerge from Matty’s room happy and unified - even if they were armed and coming at me. 
And Baby Allyson, the amazing unifier. They both adore and will protect Miss Ally. Nothing gets Matty out of a moody funk and Katie from a wild tantrum like one of Ally’s smiles. Grandpa Cherry commented this weekend on her peaceful spirit. We think she has an unusually high midichlorian count and she’s come to bring balance to the force. I’ll let you decide who is the ‘dark side’. (In case you ever wondered, you can find out your midichlorian count in relation to jedi greats at this site. Too funny!)

I always shoot such close up shots that miss Ally looks chubby, but for perspective here is a full body shot. The dress she’s wearing is a preemie dress. She’s our sweet little bit.

Its hard to tell, but Allyson is smiling in this picture. She is so smiley - sleeping and awake. Gas induced or not, we are so glad to see her cute smiles! She has a cute little dimple that peeks out when she grins. (Can I also mention she sleeps really well at night? This baby is the Best!)

This post is especially for you Grandpa! Thanks for sharing your cute wifey with us this week. If we weren’t positive that she misses you and that you must be lonely without her we would kidnap (or grandma-nap) her forever. Grandma got a good chuckle when she saw Ally’s toes. Somehow little miss Allyson got toes that are all piled on each other. Hmmm… where could those have come from?!

Do we look bigger from the side? We got to go in to the hospital first thing in the morning on the 16th. Conveniently enough I went into labor on the way there- pretty good planning huh? All was well and they only just added pitocin and epidurals for fun. Our beautiful little Allyson arrived three hours and forty minutes after we did at the hospital - and for once Dr. Russell was right! She was our smallest, weighing in at only 6 lbs 15 oz. They called her “Little Bit” in the nursery. Hooray for a happy arrival on a beautiful spring day.
