Adventures in Alysonland

Another doggy bday to report here in blogland.... my furbaby Lucy turned 3 Friday! It's hard to believe we've had our babies for 3 years already. We didn't have a doggie party or anything, but she DID get some special treatment in the way of doggie bones :-) I sang Happy Birthday to her, but she just kinda looked at me as if to say, "That's nice and all, but I have no idea what you're saying."

Here's a pic of Lou Lou that I took on her bday.



Now, for the latest adventures in Alysonland. OH. MY. GOSH. This girl gets into EVERYTHING now. Just within the past week or so, all hell has broken loose! LOL! I now have had to babyproof my entire downstairs. She has attempted to pull on and/or suck on anything within her reach. She seems to gravitate toward wires and the fireplace hearth...NOT GOOD! I have caught her MANY times heading toward the speaker next to our tv, wanting the wires coming out of it. I now have to use one of her big toys to block it during the day so she can't get back there.

We just got new couches, endtables and coffee table for the living room, and she is LOVING the tables. It sucks. The tables all have a shelf underneath them, and she thinks it is fun to attempt to climb up on the shelves. All I see on the shelf are little handprints... I'm half afraid to pledge the thing, for fear she'll just slide right off! Here are some pics of my little climber. Don't worry, she hasn't taken any spills off the shelf... after getting my photo-ops, I'm always right there to catch her before she goes headfirst onto the floor. Ugh....









This is what she started doing a few days ago. I heard her crawling down the hallway and figured she was just sitting there looking around like she always does. Ha. No... she was in the bathroom playing around with my basket of lotions, etc. I had to put all the sprays up...she just mostly waves a bottle around, then throws it down and grabs for another one. Hey, whatever floats her boat.



This is her having spotted the remote control up on the couch and trying to grab for it. She is OBSESSED with the remote control. And the phone...and my camera...and aything else somewhat shiny with buttons.



By the end of the day, I am WORN OUT from chasing her around. The dogs too! They follow her around constantly, especially Cody. He must think he's her personal bodyguard. Either that, or he's just really interested in her because she walks on all fours like he does. I dunno.

Here are my sleeping beauties.

Naptime...


Tired Cody and Lucy....




(No, my dogs aren't spoiled AT ALL...LOL!)

Well, I think that's it for the pictures...for now, anyway!

One more story about Aly before I go. Today, I was bathing her in her aquarium bathtub. She discovered today that if she kicks her feet, she can not only make bubbles, but splash water EVERYWHERE. She got a real kick out of this (pun intended...), and totally soaked me. Water was dripping on the counter, down the cabinets... ( I was washing her up in the kitchen) THEN... I started hearing this soft whooshing sound, and noticed that more water was coming onto the counter. SHe had kicked the plug out of the bathtub and ALL THE WATER was coming out. I quickly grabbed for her towel and tried to get her out of the tub so I could move it over the sink, but she had a death grip on that little toy ring that's attached to the tub and WOULD NOT let go. In the end, water was everywhere in my kitchen.... completely across the floor all the way over by the stove. Soaked part of my little rug and everything. All I can say is THANK GOD we have tile floor in the kitchen!! (Yeah, I think I'll try actually bathing her in the BATHROOM now!) She's still afraid of the bathtub, so we'll see.

Well, that's it for now... gotta head to bed so I get SOME sleep before I have to wake up and get ready for church. Nighty night! Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
