Alaina and All her Cuteness






So Alaina is using her cute little wiles to get in good with Mark and I. She cocks her head to the side to the point of almost resting her head on her shoulder. Then she starts shaking her head while asking " 'Side?" She thinks this will get us to go outside with her easier than if she doesn't cock her head and look cute as a button. Sometimes it works. Other times. . .we cock our head to the side and say, "No 'side. It is too late to go outside. Maybe tomorrow"


Other things she does that just makes us laugh . . She tries on my shoes and Mark's shoes and is now coordinated enough to walk a couple steps while still being in the shoes. She also is sooo close to actually getting air as she jumps.


She also likes to help with chores. She helps with vaccuuming, sweeping, picking up sticks and leaves, dishes. She is just loads of help now. She even helps empty the fridge. She wears her backpack like she is ready to go to school.

She also Flies very well. . . .and falls as you can see in the above photos.

Daddy and Alaina

Mark cooked us all a very yummy dinner with a WONDERFUL ginger dipping sauce. Alaina had lots of different stuff. Mark cooked AND cleaned the kitchen. What an awesome guy! This picture is after Alaina's bath time and after Mark was done with dishes.
Alaina has Grandma Elaine's smile in this picture again.

Alaina and Grandma Watson's Newspaper

Alaina is shopping for cars already! These are her "Bye Bye" ads. Grandma Elaine was nice enough to share her newspaper after she left this past weekend. Alaina can't wait to help read the Daily Nonpareil with her Grandpas. We love looking at the newspaper. I read the funnies to her. She especially liked "Baby Blues".
