Our memorial weekend

During this memorial weekend we decided to go to

sacramento and introduce our little one to Jason's side of the family. It was a nice because it was not only Alyssa's first flight but mine too.

The trip over there was nice and I was not scared but coming back was not so nice because of the turbulene.

IT SCARED ME!!!

Anyway we made it safely home.

Everyone got to meet Alyssa. We also got to enjoy some of Tony's yummy bbq chicken and tri tip. hmmm hmmm!Everyone was very happy to meet Alyssa and commented that she looks like her daddy and Grandma Griffin, of course!

I think she looks more like her cousin Zyon.

We also met the newest member to our family. Little Joshua Dwayne Griffin, he is so cute and tiny.

So While we were there we had a bbq at the park and that was so fun we got to hang out with the whole family! Good time!

Jason and I ... True Love!

Alyssa's first album

Okay so I created this album on smilebox and I wanted to post it. Its a little late but still. These are some of the pictures I love!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Growing up so FAST!

Alyssa is 5 weeks old and I feel that she has grown up so much since her birthday. She keeps her lil head up when I hold her and try to burp her or when I lay her down for Tummy Time she acts like she is ready to crawl. OMG! I love her so much but soon she will be off to colleges. =)

Since she turned a month I have taken her out to meet up with our school buddy Adriana. She says that you look like your daddy, Alyssa. Just like everyone else who meets you, she agrees that you have his little facial expressions.

Of course we had to take a picture. . . Duh!

Alyssa was wide awake in this picture. We had gone to Long Beach state to pick up my cap and gown because on May 28th WE ARE GRADUATING! YEY!

More of those pictures to come next week. I can't wait.
But for the mean time here are some other pictures of Baby Alyssa and what we did last week.

These are the ladies at work holding my baby. They too say she looks like daddy. OH GOSH!

We also visited Auntie Jenny and Cousin Romeo and thier doggies!

Look at Alyssa's face when she is looking at the doggies. lol thats so funny!

Update on baby Alyssa

When you first get pregnant and begin to tell people, besides congratulations, you usually hear the same line over and over again, "prepare for no more sleep." Well Alyssa is a really good baby she usually sleeps 4 hours and then wakes up for a feeding and then back to sleep she goes. BUT.. the other day I really understood what people were talking about. I mean I do miss sleeping my straight 8 hours but the other day Alyssa would just not go to sleep. OMG! She would fall asleep while I was holding her, but as soon as I would place her in her cradle she would wake up and act as if she was hungry but the thing is that she had just ate her 4 ounces. So I decided to give her 1 more ounce. She fell asleep in my arms but then as soon as I put her down in her cradle she would wake up again! ARGHHHH!!! I did not go to sleep until 2am and that was because I fell asleep with her in my arms. She was up by 4:30 to eat again and didnt go back to sleep till about 6am so I didnt really get any rest. She usually never does that I was surprised. Oh well thats what its like being a mommy. I kinda expected it but since she never did that to begin with I just figured that she would not be one of those babies.

Well that was me venting! lol

Mother's Day!

Yesterday was mothers day and it could not have been better because it was also Alyssa's 1 month anniversary. =) We were planning on going to church in the morning but it took a little longer to get alyssa ready than i thought.

We decided to take Alyssa pictures at the mall and she was so cute. She did give the photographer a hard time so im not sure how the pictures turned out. She was kinda hungry and i had to wake her up to take the pictures so lets just say she was a little fussy.

After we left the picture place at the mall we drove to my inlaws house so that they could baby sit Alyssa because Jason planned a special dinner reservations at shenandoah's restaurant. I LOVED IT! very yummy food. Thanks babe you made my first mothers day very special.

New pics!!

I love this picture so much! I know everyone tells me that she looks like her daddy Jason but to me this picture truely proves it. There is a picture of Jason and I this past christmas and i think they are making the same expression. LOL! LOVE IT!!!! She was so tired you can see it in her eyes but she still posed for mommy! =)


Ha Ha her eyes kept getting lower and lower.











Until... she fell asleep. I love my baby!

I also took some other pictures with the cutest lil' green outfit that her auntie Jenny bought her. Gotta love the facial expressions... I just had to share them.

Don't you just love the her facial expression on this pic. She did not want to cooperate but mommy still got the picture and I love her little face. Its like she's saying "mommy are you serious with all these pictures."

Well until next time....

Alyssa baby your 3 weeks now!

Wow my baby is getting so big. 3 weeks old and she can already hold her head up or at least she tries to. Its the cutest thing ever. I have been laying her on her tummy for tummy time so she can work out her little muscles.

I cannot believe that it has already been 3 weeks. Time is flying by so fast and soon I will need to go back to work. I DONT WANT TO LEAVE MY BABY! I know I still have 3 more weeks on and then an additional 6 weeks for bonding time that the state gives. I still feel that its not enough time and I don't know about leaving my baby with someone else. Well I still have till July 6th so im going to cherish all the time I have with her. I love my little baby!
