Eight Seconds

Alison's Aunt Betsy has established a tradition of buying Alison a ginormous stuffed bear every Christmas. Last night, Alison demonstrated her technique of bear-riding, where she straddles one of the bears, jumps up and down, throws one arm up over her head and yells 'yeehaw'! We have no idea where she learned this. Dora must have visited a rodeo or something. Anyway, it's hilarious.

She also busted out an early demo of The Alphabet Song, displaying an amazing command of the alphabet in the process. It's not perfect, but I was really surprised that she was able to get several chunks of letters in the proper order. She likes to point out letters on my t-shirts and guess what they are. (Unfortunately for my mother, that means she can spell "NEW ORDER" like nobody's business.)

Here's some more old photos. These are from Halloween...check out our little squinty-faced kangaroo. These may be the worst pictures she's ever taken, but they're kinda funny. I swear she was attempting to smile. You know how these things go.
