What It's Like To Be An Only Child

Alice Anne has missed her big sister dearly, but she is eating up all of the extra attention and we have had so much fun getting to play one-on-one with her this week! She's created some new games, picked up a few new "words", made us laugh hysterically over and over, she's gotten up early every morning for cuddle time in mommy and daddy's bed, and she's just been the happiest little girl that she always is! When she likes a game or something that we're doing we'll say, "Again?" and she has started saying, "aaah gee"...really cute, sometimes she'll say "mmmmm" when you ask her what a cow says and she tries to make a barking noise when asked what a dog says. She has LOVED getting extra story time this week. We have read so many books and I love it! Her favorite ones are the peek-a-boo books with flaps.

As much fun as we've had this week, our house just doesn't feel the same with out our Big Sister around. Alice Anne crawls into Hannah's room several times a day and just looks around, she smiles and kicks hysterically when she hears Hannah's voice on the phone, and she just stares at the empty seat next to her in the car.

Hannah's coming home this afternoon and I'm sure 2 sisters will give lots of hugs when they see each other!

She loves giving her baby hugs and kisses!

We put a lot of miles on this car!

Wally was Alice Anne's buddy this week!

Looking out the window while we wait for daddy to come home

He's HOME!!! Trying to kiss daddy through the window!

Her favorite seat in the house!

She LOVES her bath time!

Excited that she gets this basket of toys all to herself!

Hannah taught her this one...she says, "Aba" when she picks up her wand...for abra cadabra!

I love this pic! She's excited about our morning walk!
