some exciting things...

So, I thought it had been longer since i had updated. but oh well. things have been pretty good. ali giggles now! it is the cutest thing. before shanna left for young women's camp, we had joked that ali would be laughing by the time she got back. well, it actually happened. the first time, it happened when me and my mom were taking pictures of her. i thought that it might have just been a one time thing. well, the next day she did it a couple of times. i was so excited!! anyways, so that's her newest thing. she doesn't do it terribly often, but she DID do it in relief society in church on sunday. lol.

on the 5th, i met up with an old friend from middle school at the mall and just hung out. she's got two kids, and so her little girl was playing in the play area while we chatted. i was really afraid that it would be uncomfortable and weird, but it really wasn't bad. we just talked for about two hours, she got taco bell for her daughter and i got taco bell for me, and then we left. it was really fun catching up with her though and to see where she is now.

i think it was the first or second, i had the privilege of going to lagoon with becky paulsen, her family, jacob (who is sort of like part of their family and my friend), shanna, and one of debra's friends carissa. it was so fun. i was really worried about having ali there and how we would do rides and such with her, but things worked out, and we had a blast. we got one of those old time photos taken, and they took like 8 pictures, and during the time they were doing the pictures was the only time that ali was really fussy. the whole day she slept most of the time, or she was awake but happy. of couse during the pictures is when she decides to NOT be happy. but it was really fun over all, loved the company, and it was Ali's first whole day out.

so ali had her two month appointment on the 5th, as well. she weighed 10 pounds, and was something like 23 inches long. i don't remember the percentile for weight, but she was in the 74th% for height. i don't know how. lol.

that's pretty much all that's been going on lately. until next time....
