Hannah our little model!!!
She is doing more and more everyday. She has now started holding her bottle and is sleeping for 7 to 9 hours through the night. That sure makes life a lot easier for Mommy and Daddy.

Hannah getting ready to take a bath!!! She loves her bath time.

All ready for church!!!

Doesn't Alyssa look adorable?
She is wearing an outfit she got for her birthday and her new Hello Kitty sandals. After church Auntie and Uncle came out to our house for lunch and they watched Hannah for us, so we could bring Alyssa to the Shrine Circus. We didn't get any pictures this year, but we all got to ride the elephant. I think that was a first for all three of us.

She doesn't let anything get her down.

So tired...

Look at that yawn.

4/26/07

Alyssa sleeping behind the recliner by the rails. I thought it was weird that she just fell asleep when we got home from a two hour walk at 4:00 in the afternoon. When Bill got home from work he woke her to change her diaper and her head was on fire 103 degree temp. We gave her some Tylenol and headed to the Emergency Room. The doctor said she just had a viral infection and she would just get over it on her own. We had also been to the clinic that Monday before because she wasn't feeling good and they said the same thing that it was a viral infection. Well, Sunday came and her temp finally was back to normal, but now she had spots all over her body. The first thing we thought was that it was the chicken pox, until I talked to the doctor on call and she said that it is not very common for anyone to get the chicken pox anymore. Monday the 30th we brought both Alyssa and Hannah into the doctor. Hannah was fine and didn't have anything wrong with her, but we wanted her checked out anyway. Alyssa had gotten Roseola from someone as it is a viral infection that starts with a fever and then turns into a rash. The rash only lasted for about three day and now she is back to normal. Thank goodness.

Alyssa...

Alyssa with her hair in pig tails. I am trying to grow Alyssa's hair out. I am constantly trying to put it up, so it is not in her eyes, but of course she pulls it out.
