Alia counting to 10, saying "orange" and cheering on the West Vikings!
(yes, Vikings will sound like something else, but she's not even 2 yet people!)

Alia has named her 1st stuffed animal. I bought her a brown stuffed dog while we were in Branson this summer. I asked her the other day what her dog's name was. She told me Ibo-Ibo. (pronounced eebo) Now she walks around the house saying, "Where's my Ibo?" "I love my Ibo!" (this said while giving it hugs and kisses).

We (Alia, my mom, and I) took a field trip before church last Sunday.

This is my Papa Chumbley's grave(Alia's Great-Grandpa). Alia liked feeling the letters and numbers.


This is Dad's grave (Alia's Grandpa). She's pointing at what she calls "bubbles", some decoration on the bouquet.
I'm sure Alia won't remember this trip, but there will be many more!

Cousins! (3 of the 6)

Alia had her 1st haircut tonight. It was more of a trim really, but she seemed to have a good time.
