Happy 14th Month Birthday Allie!

Dear Allison Kate,

You are 14 months old now and it just boggles my mind how quickly you have grown. Each time I look at your little girl legs toddling you across the living room, my heart pangs knowing these beautiful moments are quickly passing. Sometimes, I close my eyes and try to burn the images in my brain so I will never forget these times.

Right now, you are in the kitchen, playing with the plastic containers. You are singing the alphabet; or your rendition of it: C, D, C, G, etc. You are so adorably snuggly and cute. I love all your attempts to count and sing.

P1030457

You have been walking since the beginning of December. You do not crawl anymore and have gained such control of your gross motor skills. You are, without a doubt, mobile now. I love watching you kneel down, pick up your toy, and take off across the living room.

You are always the over-achiever when it comes to teeth. This month your four one-year molars are coming in ALL.AT.ONCE! It has been difficult for you. You have twelve teeth now. Fortunately, you only have eight more to go (on your deciduous teeth). At the rate you are going, they will be in very soon!

This Christmas was a lot of fun for you! You tried to take the ornaments off of the tree, but we only decorated the top 2/3 of the tree. You were only moderately interested in the ornaments. Occasionally, you would develop some interest, but quickly desert the ornaments for something more exciting. You still do not really GET the gift unwrapping, but loved pulling bows and tags off of boxes. You are only moderately interested with your toys. It seems you would rather explore those items you should not play with. Reaching the counter top is simple for you now. You reach and grab whatever you can from the edge.

You have a penchant for unplugging everything from the wall. During the holidays, you unplugged the Christmas lights every opportunity you got. You unplug my laptop at will. You have yet to stick your fingers in the socket yet, but have removed the child safety plugs from the outlet on a few occasions.

We have moved almost everything from your reach to higher elevations. You get into everything and are very tenacious. You have begun to throw little tantrums when you do not get your way. You want things your way and often throw food at us when you are done eating. Although you are a good natured, good baby, you are already asserting your desires.

You are the most loving child I have ever known. You come up and give us hugs all day long. You are so sweet! One of my favorite things you do is when you hug your dolls. The other day, you picked up your doll and patted its back and bottom. It was the most tender moment and made me realize that you are watching everything we do.

You sing the alphabet now; albeit, not always in the correct order, but you are so sharp! You count to three (and sometimes not in order!), you say: kitty, keys, doggy, daddy, mama, mommy, bye bye, hi, hey, me, one, two, three, and many other words (I need to get better at writing them down!).

You are advancing by the second! I love you so very much. You have blessed our lives in every single way possible. You are a silly little girl and love you completely!

Share the love!

2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm 2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm glad that we made it through. I am looking forward to starting fresh in 2021. I have a lot of #goals for #2021. Many are recycled from last year's #visionboard, but that's okay. I have my canceled #marathon coming up in May. I'll finally apply to #lawschool and follow my dreams, wherever they take me.  Happy new year!

I finished the #sandiegoholidayhalf yesterday. It I finished the #sandiegoholidayhalf yesterday. It was quite an accomplishment! Virtual racing isn't the same as racing pre covid. Nonetheless, I'm getting back to some consistent running and trying to get to a healthy place.

For Christmas, hubby's car needed to be replaced. We bought a #minicooper last week and he's over the moon. The green is amazing! I love how it stands out! He met me at the finish to drive me back to the start. What a fun car!

Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. I finally got my hair done for the first time in 2020. I had previously got a covid cut in the backyard several months back, but this was the first time having a professional do my hair ALL. YEAR. I felt so good, I came home and put my pajamas on. 😂 It's been a really hard year, but I have grown so much this year and I'm not just talking about my pants size. 😂 Life is good.

This is where it all started. This was where our f This is where it all started. This was where our first date happened. More than a quarter of a century ago, Eric asked me on a date and took me to the restaurant on the end of this pier. As it happened, my mom ended up joining us. This was a fortuitous twist, as Eric forgot his wallet, and I didn't have any money, as a starving college student.

I started my 5 mile run at that same pier. I smiled to myself, remembering simpler times that, at the time, didn't seem so simple. I breathed in the fresh air and hung on to these memories. I am so grateful for the blind date that worked out to be our love story.

It's beginning to look more like Christmas and my running soul is enjoying every single sighting of Christmas joy. It seems like there's a lot of people that are hurting right now, in the community. We're going to have to work together to spread joy this year and help fill those needs that families have this year. How can I be of service today?
