Giggles

Alyssa is at such a fun age right now. We are just enjoying watching her learn and grow. She is constantly changing. Her latest accomplishment is waving. She holds her hand up and makes a fist, then opens it up, and closes it again. When we say, "Wave hi," that is what she does. Fun, fun!

The video below is of her giggling. It is ADORABLE! :) It is so funny to see the things that she deems "giggle worthy." In this short clip all Michael is doing is throwing the TV remote up in the air and catching it. Definitely a gut buster! :)

Tutu cute!

We had a great first Christmas with Alyssa! She is growing so big and the changes she is making are incredible. In the last week she has become a pro at sitting up on her own. She loves to play with toys and hang out. She is an independent girl! She got this adorable tutu from her Nani this Christmas so we snapped a few shots!

Adorable!

Ok, could this pouty face be any cuter? I think not.

Happy girl

Alyssa's First Time Meeting Santa

Michael's parents (Nani and Pops) invited us to a children's Christmas party at their golf club. Alyssa got to meet santa! She is always such a happy baby and she seemed totally content hanging out on santa's lap. Of course she couldnt participate in the older kid activities, like the cupcake walk, but we got to have lunch and it was very fun! Here are her photos from the day:

5 months old and she knows what she wants for Christmas!

November

I have a few random pictures from the month of November to share! Our sweet baby girl is growing up SO fast. It seems like every week we think we know what to expect, and then she does something new and different. It has been so much fun to watch her grow and learn. Lately she is really smiling and laughing a lot, kicking her legs around like crazy, grabbing at things, and putting things in her mouth and biting down on them....hard! We love you litttle goose!

Sassy pants!

Gangsta?

4 Months Old!

Our growing girl just had her 4 month appointment last week. She weighs in at 17 lbs 15 ounces and is 26 and a half inches long. She is getting quite hilarious in her old age. She has certainly found her voice in the past few weeks and loves to use it. She "talks" all the time. She also loves to laugh and smile. It has been really fun to try eating rice cereal. It took a little getting used to, but last night she ate almost a whole bowl! She seems to like it, but it takes awhile because she is constantly trying to grab the spoon from me! We love you angel!


Serious about rice cereal

Alyssa's First Halloween

We took Alyssa over to Uncle Clay and Aunt Jacqueline's house for Halloween. Auntie Jac and I took her around to about 5 houses for her first trick or treating experience. She was a trooper because she was tired by the time it got dark enough to go trick or treating. Here are a few pictures of our Halloween experience! :)

A Halloween family photo. I think it is funny that she looks alomst as tall as me in this picture. I swear I am not that short!
