While in Pittsburgh, we visited with my brother, Ellen and Alana. Alana is really growing up. She is running around, talking - saying words like 'yellow', 'alana', 'today', 'baby', 'ball', 'dog,' and many more. Our favorite is how much she loves the commercial for Empire Carpets. When she hears the commercial or hears the tune, she screams out "TODAY!"
Trying to take a family shot of Dave, Ellen + baby to be, and Alana. This was the best of many that I took.
Alana and I playing stop & go. You say 'go' and she runs after you. You tell her to stop and she stops. Then she eagerly screams 'GO!' so she can run again.
Me showing Alana how to take a picture. She finally sat still and looked at the camera.
Alana flirting with Brian. She really was flirting.
This was one of the 'stops' from our stop and go game.
Val and Alana hanging out...or should I say, Alana hanging out on Val. Alana wouldn't leave Val alone - she went around saying 'dog' and petting her.
