Zoe's Vocabulary at 18 Months

At 18 months, our little Zoe is quite the chatterbox. It has been incredible to be able to communicate back and forth with her, and now she's combining two or three words in to sentences. I (Lauren) think it's really interesting to see what words she happens to pick up on and say... I never would have guessed that some of these would be in her first one hundred words.

Christmas

Here are some vidoes from our new flip camera from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.

2010...

2010 and I guess we are bloggers now. Maybe 2009 was not that eventful for us. No new babies, careers, homes, cars, pets or graduations. So maybe this is our Allen family calm before the storm. I hope that everyone will enjoy trying to keep up with us for 2010...
