We had lunch with our friend Amy on Friday. Mommy didn't have school so Alia stayed home from daycare.

If you haven't seen Alia's new shoes yet, everyone loves them. B wanted them so I gave in.

I wanted to get a picture of Alia's curls. This is what her hair does right after being washed. Then she sleeps on it and it straightens out.

Here Alia is trying to shut herself in the toy bin.

There's another video up on Facebook. :)

Alia said Alia today! It was pretty cool.
Here's a list of words (at least the ones we could think of) that Alia can say:
bye-bye, more, thank you, please, cheese, baby, dog, kitty, mama, daddy, drink, cookie, fishie, ice, bite, "one, two, three", up, bird, Zeus, grandma, block, ball, sock, shoe, nose, ear, hat, goodnite, no, mine, duck, frog
She can make the sounds of these animals:
cat, dog, horse, cow, monkey, duck, sheep, chicken
I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but you get the picture. :)
Edit: book, belly, foot, ok; She knows where her nose is and her mouth and ears and foot and arms and legs and belly and head.

Happy New Year! We spent New Year's Eve with "Aunt" Michelle and "Uncle" Eric. "Aunt" Becca and Duane were also with us for a little bit.
