The holiday season this year was busy and so much fun. We spent a lot of time with family & friends, but we also worked on creating traditions of our own. It was a very special time in our little family and our little treasure brought us a lot of joy.</p> <p>The holiday season wasn’t without a few mishaps. We had our first trip to the emergency room when Alison got a finger crushed in a bedroom door. She had a chip fracture & stitches were required, but she is healing great and the nail will hopefully regrow completely in 6 months. We also had plenty of tumbles & bruises, but I hear that’s all part of raising a toddler. I’m trying to get used to it. :)</p> <p>Each day, Alison is revealing more of her personality and preferences. We have quickly learned the difference between a real and a fake cry, what food she likes/dislikes and that tickling is the best form of distraction. She is transitioning into 1 nap a day, which has freed up our schedule for longer play dates and errands. Her most commonly used words are bye-bye, cracker, mama, dada, G-pa, papa, all d (all done), buh-buh (baby) peez (please) & some animal noises. Her favorite word is “Hi” and she says it with such enthusiasm that it always makes us smile.</p> <p>~ Erica</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/322250198http://alisonhuntington.com/post/322250198Thu, 07 Jan 2010 15:28:33 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kva76jDM7h1qzr0cyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/301780212http://alisonhuntington.com/post/301780212Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:44:42 -0800<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuv7kvsmsX1qzr0cyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/289280954http://alisonhuntington.com/post/289280954Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:29:18 -0800<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kupfyd9y3P1qzr0cyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Alison is growing!</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/284881236http://alisonhuntington.com/post/284881236Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:44:36 -0800<p>This little girl is always on the move! She has been walking since shortly after her 1st birthday. Her latest thing is to point at things for me to say what they are. She also gives hugs and kisses, but squirms if we hold her too long. She is not much of a snuggler and would much rather be moving and exploring the house. Some of her favorite things to do are puzzles, books, playing with her tea set & unstacking anything! She loves kids that are a year or 2 older than her and totally ignores babies. She’s so much more independent now that she’s walking and it’s been fun to see her grow socially. She loves her daddy and her face lights up when he walks in the door at the end of the day.</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/247462223http://alisonhuntington.com/post/247462223Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:56:56 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr6ndmZZhs1qzr0cyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>1 year old today.

Love you! :)</p> <p>We celebrated yesterday with Grandpa, Grandma & Uncle Christian. Everyone had pizza and mud pie, but I just had baby food. Then tonight, Grandpa & Grandma babysat me while Daddy & Mommy went out to dinner. I had baby food again. But I had a really fun time playing! I’m taking 1-3 steps on my own and am so pleased with myself. I might be walking by my 1st birthday!</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/199834144http://alisonhuntington.com/post/199834144Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:13:00 -0700<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6656768&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6656768&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6656768&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Alison’s first steps</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/192031209http://alisonhuntington.com/post/192031209Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:57:44 -0700<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kq893vqXd91qzr0cyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Feeding birds at the zoo with our good friends Mindy, Hailey & Hanna.</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/191843269http://alisonhuntington.com/post/191843269Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:43:07 -0700<p>Mommy and I take a walk almost every morning. My favorite walks are those when I get to see doggies and kids playing at the park. I also really like cats and birds.</p> <p>I went to the zoo on Monday with my friends Hanna & Hailey and their mom Mindy. While we were there, Mom & I fed some pretty birds nectar in a cup. The birds flew down and sat on Mom’s arm and shoulder - it was so neat! We also saw cheetahs at the new exhibit. The cheetahs were prowling all over the pen and they walked back and forth in front of the window. They eyed me very closely when they walked past a couple times. Mommy was very glad for the secure window between us!</p> <p><br/>I have a new snack - goldfish crackers. Yum! I also like to eat grilled cheese sandwiches, pancakes, yogurt, toast with cream cheese and whole-grain crackers. Mom also gives me healthy fruits and veggies in between bites!</p> <p>We took Papa & Nonna to the airport this week. They will be gone a long time! I had fun riding in the backseat with Nonna - we sang songs and played games. Can’t wait to see them again!</p> <p>Words that I’m saying now:</p> <p>Dada</p> <p>Bye-bye</p> <p>Kitty</p> <p>Doggie</p> <p>Hi</p> <p>Baby</p> <p>(There are probably many more words, but Mom & Dad can’t understand them!)</p> <p>I love my Daddy so much! This morning I was very sad when he left. I cried and said bye-bye for about 10 min after he left. We have so much fun playing together. I love giving him hugs and showing him how to unstack all my plastic cups. He also plays guitar for me and lets me strum!</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/190224641http://alisonhuntington.com/post/190224641Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:26:52 -0700<p>I took my first unassisted step today! There was a lot of cheering so I tried again and again. I was so worn out by bedtime, but it was a very fun afternoon with Grandpa, Grandma, Mommy & Daddy.</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/190212679http://alisonhuntington.com/post/190212679Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpfm3a248w1qzr0cyo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>With Grandpa and his new guitar (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/jdhuntington">JD Huntington</a>)</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/179410245http://alisonhuntington.com/post/179410245Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:33:09 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpfm2kWWsk1qzr0cyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>At the park (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/jdhuntington">JD Huntington</a>)</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/179410014http://alisonhuntington.com/post/179410014Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:32:43 -0700<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6332441&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6332441&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6332441&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Alison playing with a toy from Nona</p>http://alisonhuntington.com/post/174920410http://alisonhuntington.com/post/174920410Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:27:35 -0700
