Our newest baby

Last Sunday morning I unfortunately found a dead kitten in my front yard. We were all sadden because we knew that our Shepard had gotten a hold of it. Later on in the morning the boys came in a said that Rocket had another kitten in his mouth. They were able to get the kitten from Rocket just in time. At first I thought it was really hurt because it wasn't moving. Well I warmed the kitten and she started to come around. I knew she was young because her eyes weren't even open. Well I made a trip to the vet and bought a bottle and some kitten milk. I had little hope for this baby because she was so young. I would guess 4 or 5 day old at the most. Well this baby started to eat and hasn't slowed down. She shows no signs of being sick or injured. We have had her almost a week and she is doing great. Eats great and sleeps even better! We have to still help her with "potty" needs but she is starting to do that on her own too. I will take her to the vet in the next few weeks to get checked out. Her eyes are now starting to open and she crawls all over the place! The best is when we hear her purr when we are feeding and snuggling with her.

She loves to eat! She is eating a tablespoon every 4 hours or so.

Her little eyes are starting to open.

Trying to escape!

Her first trip to the beach

Todd and I flew down to Mississippi to see my family for a few days. Allie did ok on the plane. I had to hold her the entire trip so I am glad I didn't pay for her a seat. My family fell in love and she enjoyed being the center of attention!

Fun Day in the Snow!!

So in love with this baby!!

The boys are loving the snow and destroying the yard.



Miss Allie really had fun playing in the snow. She loves being outside no matter the weather conditions!

Someone's hair is growing!!

Allie hair was cut the day before we met her. I was shocked to see how short it was!


This is almost 6 months later! My how she has changed! Now, that's hair I can put a bow in!! Yay!!

Miss Allie showing off some mad skills.

Allie loves using her baby fork to eat. She is so funny because she has learn to "stab" the food in order for it stick to the fork. Too cute.
She had a great report at the doctor yesterday. She is 22lbs and is 30 inches tall. The doctor said her head is growing well and her ears and throat look great. I was a little worried because she had a runny nose and a little cough. She ask about her bonding with me and could tell that Allie was securely attached. She did have to get 3 shots but stop crying as soon as i picked her up. Daycare continues to go well. She did have a bite mark on her arm the other day and I was alarmed because I didn't receive a call from her teacher. They weren't aware of it and I was happy the skin wasn't broken. She still crys when I drop her off and that still pulls at my heart strings. She loves playing outside with Dalton and Brian. They really make an effort every day to play with her and teach her "boy" stuff. She plays rough with them and even rougher with me!!
For those of you who follow my blog I would like you to consider sending a small donation to the Red Cross or some organization that would send help to Haiti. These people are in dire need of our help. I ask that you say a special prayer for the people there and for those traveling there in the relief efforts.
