Several friends have told me how addicting a blog can be, plus it is a great way to keep in touch, so I'm going to try it out.....
Alaina is now 16½ months, somewhere around 21 lbs and about 30 inches tall. We are having so much fun right now! Her absolute favorite activity is reading. It is the cutest thing, she will sit for up to 20mins at a time, several times a day, reading book after book out loud. And now we’ve noticed that her stories have real characters too. We’ll often hear her include Mommy or Daddy in the middle of her own language. We have lots of books with animals so “Puppy”, “Arf arf”, “Meow” and “Ooo hoo” (for an owl) are often included too.
Last weekend we discovered Ring Around The Rosie and it has quickly become another favorite. You have to be careful, if she sees you stick out a finger or hears the word “ring” or “rose” she’ll grab onto your finger, say “come” and pull you to the middle of the floor. Prepare to get dizzy!

We had some good news last week :) Mike was just given official notice that he was selected for the full-time job in his squadron at Selfridge. This is exactly what we were hoping for when Mike re-enlisted 2½ yrs ago. He’s got the next couple of weeks to hang out at home with Alaina and he will start full time in April. What a wonderful blessing!
