Alaina is about to be 18 months old, and seeing as I missed a few big posts in the past 6 or 8 months, I figured I would post a quick update. Things have been crazy as ever around here, and since Alaina’s first birthday she’s turned from an adorable little baby to an amazing little toddler! She walks, talks, and is full of attitude. (not sure where she got that, definitely not from her mama!) She has lots of adorable little friends, loves her puppies, and is always down for an adventure. This kid has more miles under her belt than most adults I know, and she takes it all in stride. She loves going new places, as long as Mommy, Dada, and her puppies are along for the ride.
Alaina’s ever expanding vocabulary has been cause for concern around here. For those of you that know us, well… We don’t always censor our use of colorful metaphors around here. It’s going to be a problem…
We’ve had lots of celebrations, and several unimaginable hardships in the past year. We’re very thankful to have this little ray of sunshine here – she makes the good times better, and the sad times a little easier to get through. She greets us every morning with a smile and a smooch, no matter how often she had us up the night before. We may never get this kid to sleep through the night, but her sweet hugs and hilarious personality somehow make it all okay the next day.
Turns out, she makes an adorable flower girl too. She’s got all of her aunties and uncles (and even her cousins) wrapped around her finger. Don’t even ask about her grandparents, this kid is a pro.
Alaina’s sense of adventure is inspiring, and I hope it will take her far in life. She loves people and pets, and is just as happy reading stories at home as she is at the park with friends. We totally hit the baby jackpot with this one 
Thank you for the last 18 months, Baby Girl. You’ve changed our lives more than you’ll ever know!
