One Year old!!

Alyssa is ONE year old!!!

We finally managed to get her pictures done for the first birthday. She really wanted no part of the dress, the photographer, or the props. We tried to sway her with puffs, but that only semi worked. We did manage to get a few smiles by singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider song to her. She's really starting to show her personality and independence. She is saying "no no" all the time. If we ask her if she wants to go outside, she almost runs to the door and grabs the handle. She is becoming more of a little girl than a baby...I miss her cute little baby face!!
