Mama and Alyssa: Thanksgiving 2009

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Where to start... The last time i blogged was October 7th and so much has happened since then. Alyssa is now 9 Months old. The last 3 months my little girl has grown up so fast... I cannot believe it.

She started crawling at 6 months. It just sort of happened. One day she just decided "LETS GO!" :)

Halloween was fun. Alyssa was a little lamb. She looked adorable too! I just loved her costume. Thanks grandma Griffin. =)

She also has her two bottom teeth. She got those between 7-8 months. She now likes to eat table food. She thinks she's grown! Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went. She loved it! Opening presents and spending time with the family was so fun. Alyssa actually sat and opened presents. I was totally amazed.

Oh yes and she is stading by herself now. Yes she is! I am so shocked that its happening NOW! My baby is 9 months old and she is standing on her own. . . She will walk soon I know it.

Lets see what else is new ... We also had our trip to Las Vegas for our cousin Bri's 15th Birthday /4095-celebration. She looked adorable.

So big so fast

So much has happened, and I've been so busy that I have not had the time to write about our beautiful little girl... so whats new? ALYSSA IS A LITTLE BRAT!!!! just kidding but she is getting so fussy lately, maybe because she is teething. She is going to be 6 months in three days and she is a handful, big time. Alyssa loves her baby food. She loves peaches, sweet potatoes, green peas, and banana. I've given her all kinds but those are by far her favorites.

Alyssa loves her daddy. oh my goodness she LOVES her daddy so much. Example, when I come home she sees me okay and i pick her up, that's about it. But when daddy gets home, she practically goes half crazy she sees him and tries to stand up and go to him. Alyssa can't even crawl yet, but she acts as if she wants to run to him. Its adorable.

What else is new:

She makes lots and lots of noises, she is a screamer. LOL
She said mama last month on sept. 26th
She has her first trip to the emergency room. she has a fever of 102.9 we were so scared!

but now she is healthy and super happy!

5 months Tomorrow

My little monkey is turning 5 months tomorrow and so much has happened. she is such a big girl now and boy does she have a personality of her own. She loves to grab things. EVERYTHING around her she reaches for. She is also very observant; when people are talking she looks them as if she is listening and understand what they are saying. Suddenly, there is a sound behind her and her head turns to see what it is. Did I mention she LOVES to GRAB.

Here she is reaching out to grab her bubba's beard. Boy does she love that!

Here she is reaching for the TV remote. She is so much like her daddy. lol

Alyssa is also sitting down with out any help. At first she started to, but she would tip over it was too funny, but now she is really good and she sits all by her little self.

such a happy baby all smiles all the time.



Hot summer naked baby is tottaly the way to go. =o)

Here she is in a beautiful brown dress looking super cute for church on Sunday going with grandma Griffin.

4 months old

My baby is now 4 months, yey!
She went to her doctor's appointment and basically everything went well. She is now officially a big girl and can begin solid baby food... she can eat cereal, veggies and fruits. Alyssa is now 14 pounds 1 ounce and 25 inches long. She is in the 78th percentile in height/length and 63 percentile in weight. She is still above average, but I kinda thought she would weigh more since she is eating so much lately.

So, just like last time Alyssa got her shots 2 on one leg and 2 on the other and 1 by mouth. Also, just like her last sset of shots when she was 2 months, alyssa got a fever. :(

I tried to prevent it but it did not work out the way i hoped. The next day at 6am Alyssa woke up with a fever of 100.5 I was so worried that I ended up staying home from work. Thank God I did because her fever got worse. By 2pm it was up to 101.3 and by then I freaked out, We ended uo buying her some medicine Motrin for infants. That definitly worked. by 6:30p she was back to normal. yey!

So, today was a very busy day. I took Alyssa to the sitter because I had to go to work today. Alyssa had ate 4 ounces at 4am, so her next feeding was suppose to be at 8am but she was not feeling well and skipped that feeding. She ate at 11:30 about 2 ounces but spit up all of it, then she just kept throwing up like 2 more times. Jason and I got so worried that we left work, picked her up from the sitter and took her to the doctor. Well the outcome was that Alyssa has a viral infection stomach flue.

MY POOR BABY IS SICK!

Now she can't eat any food and has to drink that yucky pedialyte. Now she is hungry and I cant feed her any milk. That sucks. I feel helpless and when she cries I don't know how to make her feel better. Jason is being a wonderful daddy. He is good at soothing her and helping calm her down when she is fussing.

I want my baby to be back to normal, back to being the happy little baby that she is always.

happiest baby in the world =)
