Hello friends,
Allie knows most of her body parts and animals sounds and she knows who each of her brothers are. For the longest time she called them all "Bubba" but she is able to tell them apart now! We have been trying so hard to get all that on video, but it never fails that when the video camera is out - she won't perform! So we have tried several times to video her . . . with not much luck! At first she moved around too much so we decided to put her in the high chair - but then she was too hungry. But after about 12 takes - we at least have a little bit of video that turned out!
So enjoy a little bit of our baby girl . . . we worked hard for this 2 minutes of video! :0) Oh, how we love her so very much!
About Me
Our Family
Our dinosaur loving, 11 year old math wiz who has the sweetest heart. He loves Star Wars & learning about pre-historic life. He wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up.
Our frog-catching, bug-loving 9-year old nature boy who is laid-back and easy-going. Always has a smile on his face and loves to be outside!
Our baseball-loving 9 year old who enjoys all things sports. Slightly mischievous, neat freak who is very responsible and is the best helper ever.
Our fearless, beautiful 2 year old baby girl who is into everything and talks non-stop. She loves Elmo, baby dolls, Dora fruit snacks and playing outside. She was adopted from Guatemala and came home August 2007 - filling our lives with much JOY.
May 27, 2000 - June 12, 2006 Forever in our Hearts
Our son, Jacob was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma - a very rare and aggressive cancer - at the age of 3. After a very difficult 28 month battle, Jacob passed away and was completely healed in Heaven on June 12, 2006 - changing our lives forever. He was only 6 years old - but his courage, grace and strength made a lasting impact on those who knew him and he continues to inspire us all. He touched many lives with his contagious smile and silliness and he will live in our hearts forever. Jacob taught us all to FROG (Fully-Rely-On-God) and he showed us that each day is a gift and we must celebrate LIFE, walk in FAITH, hang onto HOPE, LOVE deeply and BELIEVE ! He taught us all to live, love, laugh and always take time to DANCE! He was a most precious gift from God, a miracle, a hero - the most Amazing Jacob. You can read the story of our son on his website . . . Amazing Jacob

SO precious! Thanks for sharing your adorable baby girl with us! She's SO verbal for 13 months! Having all those brothers has really helped her!
That is adorable! I am just amazed...what a smart little cookie she is. I would have to say that Joshua is a long way from doing all that. I was thrilled this week that he finally said "mama" though not to me in particular. :) I am so glad you posted this...it is fun to see her in action!

She is so beautiful! She reminds me of the little girl I used to nanny for who was also adopted from Guatemala.
Oh Heather, She is so adorable. I miss those days when they were little. I am so glad to see her little face and hear her little voice.
Thanks for being so wonderful and sharing her with me.

Heather,
I am online reading some blogs and I came across this one. I had just read your update and wonderful video of Allie. Then I opened it up and couldn't believe it. I felt just like Jacob was thanking me for keeping an eye on his little sister. Check out the beautiful picture on this blog.

How adorable! She is so smart! Thank you for sharing :o)
What a dollbaby!! So smart too! Can you move to Texas for a year so I can have her in my 2nd grade class?! :)
Thanks so much for sharing this sweet video!
Love and FROG,

Too cute! Thanks for sharing!
Allie is so adorable! She is very smart. It's hard to believe how big she is, it seems that just recently you were posting pics of her with her foster mother!
Have a great week!
Well...I was so excited to show Amy Joy the video...but she started to cry..saying Jonathan does not do any of that. I tried to tell her that Boys are slower than girls. I guess I should not have shown her...lol. I reminded her that Allie has brothers all around her all the time. She is soooo worried now. Jonathan knows everything you say to him..but only says "ball". I reminded her that she did not talk until she was 3 years old....and was in the gifted program through out her years at school! I try to tell her babys are all different.
Anyway..Baby Girl is sooooo cute. I loved it when she looked for Minnie when you asked her what a dog says. ...that was so cute...and when she batted her eyes she was so sweet. The way she ran to Kyle was just priceless!
I love having a baby this age around the house. They really are alot of fun.

Love and Hugs...
How adorable. We only had one of our kids who moved her eyes instead of pointing to them...
This verse has gotten me through a lot. Know that I'm praying!
Psalms 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Life is a blessing.

WOW!!! What a little smartie. You must have needed a nap after that. It took some hard work!!
She is talking much better than Reese, but I do hear boys are slower. My girls were combining 2-3 words around that age, but not Reese. We get a few words here and there. It will come......
Her expressions are great!!
Oh Heather, she is so adorable! And smart. How I miss those days. My 6 year old son watched this with me and he said, mom isn't she cute? Allie can melt your heart alright! Thanks for sharing!
Maureen
wow allie is truly a blessing and really amazing =)
Oh Heather, oh this is just priceless!!
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It only makes me love her so much more, she is just the cutest thing!! (SMART TOO!)
The boys are just adoring her I can see, and oh what a GIFT from God she truly is. I'm still thanking Him for her. (and I do believe with all my heart someone else had their say on choosing Miss Allie!)
Keep Frogging♥
She is truly the most precious little thing!!!
What a sweetheart.
Enjoy this time!!

Heather-
What a cutie Allie is-I loved the pretend cry, when she wanted her drink. It was so amazing to see her in action and hear her sweet voice. I enjoyed it so much-brought a smile to my face and brought back so many special memories of my 2 baby girls who are almost grown. Thanks for sharing!
Keep Imagining!

Allie is beautiful and so are your boys. I have been a frequent visitor, but have never left a message. Thank you for sharing your faith and your family.
Absolutely beautiful!
She is at such a fun age!
Can't wait for more vids of her and the boys, that is if she'll perform =)
What a beautiful baby girl! She is so sweet and so smart!
On a slightly different note, I've always wanted to see video of your Amazing Jacob. If you feel like sharing such precious videos, I'm sure there are many other people who would love to see them too!

That video of Allie is so sweet; gave me happy tears. It's awesome to see your family so happy. What a joy Allie is, thank you for sharing.
In one of your recent posts Allie is wearing a cute ladybug shirt w/ denim shorts. Savannah has the same one and I love it.
I posted some Disney pictures on my Blog. We had a blast and I thought of Jacob everytime I saw a painted face.
So sweet! That video has made me miss the baby days in our house! Your kids are all just too precious!
Is that your voice on the video???

I absolutely love the fish face! She is so sweet...fits right into your beautiful and loving family!
Ok, that was tooooo cute! Who was the interrogator? :) I love the fish noise and the cow noise the best! What a happy baby girl! I'd say she loves her food! :) I hope you all are having a blessed week together!
Love and FROG!
What a sweet video! Thanks for sharing!
Allie is so adorable!!...and is so smart! It is evident how much joy she brings to your family! :)
Praying right now.
Psalms 9:9-10 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
I will all but stand on my head to capture moments like these! What sweet words from an even sweeter little girl! Have a great week~

What a cute little pumpkin she is. You can tell the boys love her so. Cute, cute is all I can say!! I love how you call her baby girl. I call our youngest baby boy. He's started informing me that he is a big boy now-boo hoo.:( Blessings.
That Fish face is the best!! She is just adorable!!
I've been following Jacob's story for years, but have yet to comment on this page. I occassionaly left comments on his CB page, but never this one. I just wanted to drop in and let you know how much I LOVE reading about your wonderful family. Jacob's life continues to touch so many, through your entire family. Thank you for all you do.
