first song: she tries to sing twinkle and twinkle. I sing and let her fill in the blanks with are, high, sky. When we sing this song from gabba gabba "inside voice..." she follows with "quiet". The other two love this and when they are giggling they look so proud of their little baby Rose. They run to tell me every time she says a new word. She also sings the ABC song. It goes, eh le be de i a G! But she has the melody down pretty well!

Favorite Foods: everything. It's all wonderful and keep it coming please! I always serve her less because she is the baby, but she ends up finishing off whatever Sydee and Jack have left on their plates. Her manners are impressive. She always says thank you, although with the attitude she might as well say "it's about time"! The last two days she has been following the big kids and clearing her plate when she is done.

Allie loves to dress-up, feed Pepe, rock her babies and push them in the stroller, read books, and do anything her brother and sister are doing of course. She also loves ducks, eating, and brushing her teeth.

If we are near, Allie always takes a moment to walk over to us and give the gentlest, sweetest, most loving hug we have ever felt.

If we are too far, Allie always takes a moment to walk over to us, wrap her arms around our calves, step on our toes, lift her chin up above our knees, and scowl and wail until her will is done.

That is our little Allie Roses!
