Nemo & "Nice"


Alayna loves to sit or lay in front of the vent when the heat comes on. She alway says - "oh, nice...nice....warm." We just have to laugh because she loves it so much!
I've tried to think of the funny things Alayna is always saying because she has so many...but here are a few of my favorites -
*"Oh, Goodness!" - Alayna says this everytime she drops something or spills something - most of the time whatever she does is intentional, but she always looks at me with an innocent face!
*"One more, ehMehN!" - Alayna says this whenever she wants a treat - namely, her favorite treat - M&M's - while she is saying it, she always puts one finger in the air.
*"Party, mom!" - I hear this a lot! It means I want to have a tea party with mom.
*"Elmo" - Alayna used to say this when she would want oatmeal for breakfast - her favorite breakfast food - but now she can say oatmeal pretty clearly.
*"Lellie" or "Lella" - is our new favorite movie Cinderella - which we seem to be watching a lot these days.

Alayna was just to cute as she was napping the other day - she loves to sleep with Emilie - her baby "Melie - by you" (thats what she tells me when she wakes up and is so excited to see that Emilie slept by her.)

We took our first trip to the Aquarium on Saturday - and it was $8 a person to get in or you could buy a pass for a year for $15 - so we bought the year pass and will probably be going to the Aquarium a lot - Alayna loved it!

Alayna's favorite thing to do was splash her hands in the sting ray petting pool.


Of course, we got to see "Nemo" which was very exciting!

This tank had lots of frogs in it - and Alayna stood there for a couple of minutes saying, "Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit..." It was really funny!
The sting ray didn't quite get close enough for us to touch it, but Alayna got really excited when they would swim by - she kept saying "touch, touch". She was brave enough to put one finger on a starfish.

We'll probably be going back sooner than later!

Cute pictures!! - I love the little naked butt laying in front of the heater vent. I think every kid loves the heater vents when they are on. This cute girl keeps us in stitches with her big words! -

It sounds like Alayna says the cutest things, what a doll! I love the picture of her laying in front of the vent. I used to do that on winter mornings when I was little. The aquarium looks fun, we haven't ever been there, but after seeing your pictures I want to go!
