Happy Birthday, Alli!

(...and Happy Birthday to BJ, Auntie Ella, and sweet cousin Nova!)

We still can't figure out how it could be true, how our teeny Allison Britt went from this...

...to this...

 ...in the blink of an eye.  Alli is on the verge of walking independently, can say four words ("hot" and "moo" being her latest), can point out at least six different animals in books when asked by name, and cracks herself up when she teases you.  To put it simply, Alli is a complete joy!

For her birthday, we took her to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.  Alli absolutely loved watching the fish, puffins, and any other animal that moved.  (The lazy, lounging animals bored her.)

Monkey!

Seal!

Puffins!

The birthday girl is waiting for her party on Saturday to have her birthday cake, but you can't have a birthday without ice cream!  The stand at the zoo was out of chocolate (a sin, I think), so we settled for cheesecake flavor - YUM!

Good stuff!

MORE!

Overall, I think Alli had a pretty good first birthday.  She even skipped her second nap (gasp!) and stayed up late, yet she was in the absolutely best mood all day long!  She obviously knew it was a special day!

Paaaaaaaaaaaaarty!!
