Playtime with Daddy

11/28/05

Here is Alyssa with a new toy. We use it to practice sitting up. I think Bill likes it more than Alyssa does. Today was a big day for Alyssa she cut her first tooth. We noticed one coming in on Saturday and it broke the skin today. Bill thinks the other one is coming too, but I don't see anything yet. Alyssa also said her first word "hi" this past weekend. She has been saying it for a while now, but she made it obvious this weekend.

Mom, look at the fish!!!

She played in her crib while we got things put up.

We finally got a couple of things up on Alyssa's walls.

It's not much, but better than nothing at all.

So, I had to get a picture of her room for her babybook.

The giggley girl.

Look at me in my big girl carseat!!!

11/20/05

She has lots of room to grow in this carseat.

Alyssa got to ride home in her new carseat. She just doesn't like to travel to much. We had to stop in Rothsay and Fargo on the way home from Melrose, but it did only take us about 5 hours to get home instead of 7 hours. It sure was nice to finally get home.

Another flashback!!!

Alyssa & Cousin Sam

Alyssa pinching Sam's cheek. She is one rough girl.
11/19/05

Alyssa and Sam are exactly two weeks apart. And you can't tell one from the other when they make noises or cry. Usually I can pick Alyssa out from other babies no problem, but not with Sam around. Alyssa had a great time playing with Sam.

11/18/05

Bill, Alyssa and I left for Melrose today to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Gruenes side. A three hour drive took us seven hours. Alyssa doesn't like to travel to much. We had to stop in Fargo and Fergus Falls, so Alyssa could get out of her carseat. We got her a new carseat (a big girl carseat) when we stopped in Fargo.

16 pounds 13 ounces

Alyssa had her synagis shot today and did a great job.

Here is a picture of her practicing sitting up, it won't be long now.

Playing with Mommy!!!

11/16/05

Our sick little girl:o(

11/14/05

Alyssa and I got our flu shots today. Alyssa didn't do so good with hers, she threw up twice and has had a cold for a week now. I do have to say she is one happy sick baby. After she threw up she was just as happy as can be. The first night was pretty rough, I slept in her room. She woke up a few times and we had to suck the boogers out of her nose because she was having a hard time breathing. I felt so bad for her.

She finally did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11/13/05

Alyssa has been rolling from back to belly for quite awhile now, on the 13th of this month she finally rolled from belly to back. The top picture was taken right before she rolled from belly to back for the first time. All it took was doing it a couple of times. Now she just keeps going over and over. I ran downstairs for a minute today when I got back upstairs she was already to the stairs. It looks like we are going to have to get some gates and get everything moved up, so she doesn't get into it. Now we are on to our next mission: sitting up. I love watching her go through every milestone in her life.

I must have that toy!!!

11/12/05

This is one of Alyssa's favorite toys.

She gets so excited over pretty much any toy.

Snugglin' with Daddy!!!

Is it Christmas time already?

10/9/05

Alyssa decide that it is time to move on to 6-9 month clothes this week. Here she is in her Christmas pajamas, I just don't think they are going to fit her at Christmas, so she might as well get some use out of them before they don't fit her at all:o) Look she's even smiling!!! Thanks to Daddy.

Alyssa playing with her baby gym.

15 pound marker for me!!!

11/9/05

I had an appointment at the gym today to have my body fat measured. As of today I have lost 15 pounds and went from 30% body fat to 26.7%. I just wanted to share that with all of you, I am proud of myself. Now I just have 4 more pounds to lose, but that is going to be hard now that Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up. I would like to lose more weight once I get back to my prebaby weight, but we will see how that goes.

Ready for bed.

Here are some pictures of Alyssa in her newest toy, a saucer. She really likes it and we have found that she likes the sunshine the best, it is always soaked. It was the perfect time to get her this, her feet just touch the bottom on the lowest setting.
