Not feeling good..

Our whole family has been sick this past weekend. Alyssa got sick at school on Friday, then decided to give the bug to Mommy, Granddaddy, Nana, and Daddy over the course of the weekend. She went to the doctor on Monday, and has an ear infection and pink eye. She is doing much better now.

I'll post some pictures later, just wanted to give an update on how the family is doing.

Breaking News!! Alyssa's Crawling!!


She saw Daddy stacking the blocks, getting ready to pounce!


Getting those feet out...
On the move!

Crawling's hard work!

Well...it happened. Alyssa started crawling this weekend. She has been leaning over from sitting for a few weeks now, but she sits right back up. It is soo cute to see her "pounce" on the floor. She almost falls over, but catches herself with her hands. Then she wiggles a little to get her feet behind her. I think what finally motivated her was Mark stacking up her blocks. Once she saw that, she took off towards the tower of blocks and knocked it over! Then she sat back up and laughed at us. A whole new world has opened up for her. Needless to say, we went to Home Depot yesterday to get baby proofing stuff for the cabinets and outlets. I can't believe she's growing up soo fast!!









Yes...I know there is food under her nose...she won't let me wash her face after dinner.

8 Months old!

Wow...it's amazing how quickly time flies with a little one. I can't believe that she is already 8 months old. It seems like just yesterday I was still planning and preparing for her arrival. Yikes! Anyways, Alyssa is now 8 months old and weighing in at 21 lbs. She has grown so much these past few months. She is now clapping all the time, and starting to make motor boat sounds with her mouth. She's not crawling yet, but she sure is trying to get that figured out. She'll lean as far over as she can when she's sitting to reach for something and then sit back up. If she leans too far, she ends up on her tummy, then rolls over.

Here are a few pics from Old McDonald's farm that I got from Leslie...

I think we make a cute little family...
