McAllister Family Video Oct. 2012

Our daughter in law Melissa took these pictures and video footage and put everything together into this darling video.  We are in LOVE with it!  It really captures Lindsay's personality.  Enjoy!

Pico is 6 months old!!!

Our dear Pico is now 6 months old.  Check out his growth progress with these nifty little onesie stickers that my neighbor Marietta custom made for him to match his nursery.  Cameron is in the 94 percentile for his height and and is growing super FAST!  I just love this little guy.  He babbles like crazy and loves solid foods and enjoys smacking his lips while eating.  He absolutely loves it when Lindsay holds him and he likes to touch her cheek and hair.  Lindsay doesn't love this so much...

Here is Cameron on his birthday.  He's about 10 hours old in this photo...

 And he is 10 days old for this photo.

Lindsay meeting Cameron...

Here are some pictures of Lindsay meeting Cameron for the first time ever, when he was one day old on St. Patrick's Day.  They wouldn't allow any children under the age of 14 in the hospital when we had him, so Lindsay had to wait until we came home from the hospital to meet her little brother. 

At first sight, Lindsay was curious and looked at Cameron...

 Then she got a little confused for a second...

 She gave him the scowl that she so freely gives to her loved ones...

 And she loves him!  Hoo-Ray!!

 She really liked observing him.

 And then she stole his binky...  I remember doing this to my little brother Jacob.  I guess it's payback!

By the way, do you notice our St. Patrick's Day shirts?  So festive, huh?!  We bought Cameron's shirt at the last minute while I was having contractions because I didn't want him to feel left out without a special St. Patrick's Day onesie.  I was scheduled to be induced on the 18th and when I started having contractions on the 15th I figured I better go to Old Navy...

Definitely the worst blogger ever...

It's been well over a year since I have even been on our blog, let alone post something.  Life has been crazy!But good-crazy.  Lots of blog-worthy things have happened since my last update.  Namely, Cameron.  I mean, Pico!  Our little boy was born on March 16, 2012 at 2:13 am and weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz and was 20 inches long.  He is the sweetest, most loving little guy I could ever ask for.  He is almost 6 months old now.  I've gotta catch up.

An update (Finally...)

Where do I begin?  Well, Lindsay is now 9 months old, I can't believe it!  She crawls all over the place, loves to play with electronics and already makes prank phone calls using my cell phone.  She's already called my mom, Julie, Jacob, JT, my friend Sabina and lots of others.  Sorry in advance.  It really is entertaining for her! 

Here was our little Easter bunny!!

 The Easter bunny brought Lindsay such cute things. :)

 She even wore her little rabbit ears for a while.  The sunglasses didn't last long, though.

 Lindsay is such a water baby, she inherited that from her dad.

 I love this pic of her and Joel!  We went to Midland to meet Harrison for the first time and to be there for his baby blessing.  He is such a cutie!!!

 Joel, Lydee, and James when we were in Midland--too bad Matt wasn't there to join in and gang up on Lydee.

I love Lindsay in this picture, she's wearin that mischevious grin of hers.  And by the way, Peace Out homies.

Lindsay's 6 month Pics

Lindsay Jane is over half a year old!  She is growing so dang fast.  She loves to roll over from side to side and touch things.  She especially loves to touch her cd player in her room that plays lullabies, and she loves her white hair brush.  She loves her white teddy bear from Debbie Grandma and Bobby Grandpa that says the cutest little things when she hugs it.  She is always smiling, loves to say "dada, dada, dada" and loves playing with all of her toys.  We couldn't be more thrilled about her.  :)

Lindsay's cousin, McCall, made her gorgeous tutu  for Valentine's Day!  McCall is very crafty and worked hard to make it, we love love love it!!!

Lindsay's Blessing

Our sweet little girl was blessed by her dad on Sept. 26, 2010. What a great day! Lindsay wore my blessing dress that my mom saved which was made by hand. (Way to go mama!) It was so beautiful on her. I kinda want to dress her up in it again since she was soooo cute in it. These are all of the people that came to the blessing:

Dean, Donna, Terri, Norm and Betty (I have to put their names first because they kinda got there early...over 2 hrs. early, we had a mix-up~~at least they weren't late!) Matt, Melissa, Davis, Landon, Joel, Lydia, Julie and Miles, McCall, Mason, Rowan, Kevin and Linda, Katie, Cory and Danielle, Carson, my Aunt Cindy, my Uncle Doug and Aunt Vickie, Russ and Cathy Svedin and Greg Day.

The blessing was beautiful and the weather was perfectly sunny, not too hot. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! We forgot to take pictures of little Lindsay in her blessing dress so we put it on her after everyone left our house and I even got back into my dress to make it more realistic. JT wouldn't get back into his suit---but he was our photographer, so it was all good.
