SUCKER!!

Alaina has always been active but when she was just six months old Joe and I got a kick out of her mobility.
I had gone to make homemade suckers when i got home Joe was eating one in the rocking chair. It didn't take Alaina long to notice he had a big red thing in his hand. (I'd allowed her to hold my hands and so she could balance on her feet. She'd been standing in place content to just look at her dad.)
RED!!
She saw that sucker and charged over to him i'd never seen her go anywhere so fast!! well, we had to at least give her a taste. Which is where we got the picture "SUCKER"!

Alaina is going to protect her mom at all costs.

So, last week I was trying to get ready for the day. I was blow drying my hair when in comes my daughter Alaina (just barely 8 months.) Just as upset as she could be..
"what's the matter?" I couldn't see anything that would suggest she had hurt herself. but there she was a pout on her face. She started to cry so I turned my blow dryer off and bent down to see what was the matter? Apparently satisfied she goes to crawl away. okay then.. I got back up and again began drying my hair. Again Alaina whips around with concern written all over her face. In about five seconds I'd watched her go from just fine... to UPSET. What is going on? I turned off the blow dryer. she goes to crawl away.
Back on.
She whips back.
"Are you afraid the big mean blow dryer is going to eat mommy up?" I asked.
I had to finish drying my hair on the floor where Alaina could hold onto me while every few seconds slapping the blow dryer away. That monster was NOT going to get her mom while she was on watch!
