Happy Birthday Alina!!!!!

I cannot believe that our little miracle baby is ONE today!!!!!!! Now that we know her personality so well, it is no wonder she pulled her cord from the placenta. She is the most active baby I have ever known and doesn't even want to stop to eat or sleep! That's right, she still gets up multiple times every night. She can already climb to the top of the stairs by herself (although it makes me nervous so I keep my hands right behind her). She is starting to walk quite a bit by herself but prefers to hold on to us so she can go super fast. She says some words and understands so much, and is just so joyful. She keeps us smiling and laughing every day :)

p.s. happy birthday to Uncle SeanO too :)

New Bike

We celebrated Alina's birthday a little early this weekend with our family, and Mimi and Poppy got her this new tricycle!

She rode like this because she was so interested in watching the pedals haha!

Thanks to SueBee, Poppa Bill, Mimi, Poppy, Auntie Kim and cousin Kane for helping us celebrate and spoiling Alina with gifts and love :)

Happy Halloween!

From our little strawberry!!

Apple Picking!

Alina didn't want to let go of her apple and she tried to eat it whole with her two little teeth!

Maybe she learned it from her dad!

Someone with a nice camera and great photography skills (like Lisa and Jen!) would have gotten some amazing shots! The orchard was beautiful and there was a great view of the lake and Adirondacks

Alina is really into books lately and she is already learning words!

Hike

We enjoyed the beautiful fall leaves and weather and Alina had fun riding in the backpack and grabbing Sean's head! She loves being outside and looking at absolutely everything- she doesn't miss much!

Vacation at the River!

Sean had a week off (yay!!) so we headed to the River again!

This is before we left when Alina got into the toilet paper haha!


Driving the boat to Kingston, Ontario

Check out the amazing swings at the park in Kingston!

We stopped at a beach on the way back from Kingston, and even I went swimming!

Alina loved the sand!

Alina's first backpack ride!

She loves to find random things to carry around

And takes after her mom (into the mangoes...actually she was just playing with the bag but she does love mangoes!)

Beautiful morning with a ship passing (above) and a rainbow (below)

What a week!

Wedding and Brunch

We went to Sean's cousin's wedding in Stowe this weekend and it was gorgeous!

Alina loves to walk around with me (or anyone!) holding onto her and by the end of the day my back is done!

She had places to go and things to see that did not include sitting on a rock for a family picture :)


Poppy, Alina, and Sean

We didn't get too many pictures at the wedding but it was beautiful!
