Brook n' Ally: Partners in Crime

Brook is growing up way too fast! She is walking all over the place now. She loves to be with the big kids. When they all start laughing, she does too. She even had her first hairdo this week. I'm glad I took a picture because we will not be trying it again anytime soon. She screamed the whole time. After she got over the trauma, she looked very cute. And it is a good thing I have pictures to remind me how cute Brook is when she does something like this:
This is the price I paid for bathtime one night when Joseph was not around. Brook emptied the drawers and then moved onto the bookshelf. In the realm of messes, this is a pretty easy one to take care of as it does not require any wiping up or use of the vacuum. Ally was supposed to help put the clothes back in the drawer, but I think she enjoyed helping Brook empty it instead. I think I may be in trouble when the two of them are old enough to gang up on me and cause serious trouble.

Even in her sleep, Ally is up to something. We found her asleep with a stuffed animal up her shirt. Exactly what game she was playing as she fell asleep will remain a mystery. She has such an imagination. Most days I can't keep up with the games she recruits me to play with her. Lately I get to be Alicia and she is Diego. We rescue animals all over the house. Sometimes I am Wonder Woman and she is Flash. And occasionally I am Elastagirl and she is Dash. The game is subject to change at any moment and Ally will not respond if I do not call her the right name. She is too much fun.
