Sweet girl...

Today, Alyssa is 7.5 weeks old. It still takes until noon for both me and her to get dressed (and that's on a GOOD day...)

I thought today we would attempt to go to HEB. We get dressed, then she has a meltdown of colicky madness. But this is the result after 30 minutes of screaming....too cute!


(And note...we didn't make it to HEB by ourselves...luckily David had to go to which was a Blessing because 5 minutes into HEB and Alyssa had a meltdown and only wanted me to hold her...the carseat wouldn't do the job for her...sigh....)

Talking with her friends...

While doing some dishes yesterday, I heard Alyssa cooing and talking away in the family room. I looked and found her visiting with her good friends, Giraffe & Ele-phant...

Such a cute sight and wonderful sounds!

Mat time

It's times like these that I'm going to miss so much when I go back to work...just hanging out with Alyssa while she plays on her mat while making silly faces and cooing noises...

7.5 weeks

Big Brother Skills

I just love this progression of pics with Andrew holding Alyssa the other night... she is just over 7 weeks old here and he is 3 years, 10 months... too precious!

Playing peek-a-boo with her!

PRECIOUS

Sleeping Angel - almost 7 weeks

Armed and Ready to Play

Remember those Nerf guns from Christmas? Well, here is the fun...not pictured is David who also was armed with a third gun... let the rubber Nerf bullet shooting begin!

Andrew is ready for battle!

He is serious about this Nerf game...

Trying to run past Daddy without getting blasted...

The guys have so much fun playing with the guns...that is one of the best things about David is his love to play and get into the games with Andrew. They really have a blast together!

Bathtime...

So I'm a horrible mom... I neglected take pics of Alyssa's first bath at home...or her second...or third... so here's pics from a recent bath... (which may have turned out better than the first series of baths since she screamed BLOODY MURDER during them!)

Oh well... so here's a series of pics in her pink tub...(which I really love because naked and without a bow...it'd be hard for me to tell the kiddos apart!)

I think she was actually rooting here... that girl LOVES to eat!

Relaxing now that she realizes it's bath time... and she may have just peed...

Making a silly face... she still has times when she goes momentarily cross eyed!

Trying to eat the washrag...see! I wasn't kidding! She loves to eat!

Covering her boobies...she gets a bit modest when she's undressed or having her diaper changed...which we fully support now and for the next 30 years! :) (not the diaper part but the modesty part!) :)

THE LOOK...this is a look I get quite regularly from our little princess... in a previous post I mentioned how she takes after me a bit more in the personality department...um...this is why I mentioned that...(she has also learned to "give the bird" and has on occasion pulled my hair already...I gotta get this all straightened out before the teen years!) :)
