It has been 5 1/2 weeks since we met our precious Allyson in Lanzhou, China. And exactly 4 weeks since our family was reunited in Texas! It has been an amazing time for our family! We are in awe of the blessing we have received with Allyson. She continues to blossom everyday....what a gift it is to experience life with her.
![]() Allyson has popped through her first two teeth and is working on her third! She has also gained an amazing two pounds and 1/4" in only 3 weeks! She explores everything in sight now....she will use both of her hands to grasp toys and "talks" a lot! Like her big sister, she is going to have a lot to tell us when she starts making the sounds into words!
![]() Allyson is a terrific eater....she loves her formula and eats baby jar food at every meal with us! She's not too fond of green beans, but she loves fruit! And she has now mastered picking up the Cheerios and getting them one at a time into her mouth!
![]() The most amazing part is that Allyson sleeps all night! Once we all got our internal clocks switched around, she was back to sleeping through the night. I think even Ashlyn watches this in amazement as she still struggles with staying in her bed all night!! Ashlyn is really enjoying her new role as big sister. She loves to play "This Little Piggy" with her sister's toes and kisses her all the time. Ashlyn requires some coaching when playing with her sister....the other day I found her kissing her sister's leg and then trying to "stick" it on....a little too hard! Ashlyn is doing a great job teaching her sister how to blow kisses and take a bath! Bathtime is a lot of fun for both of them!
