04-16-2011
Just playing "dress up" with our pretty girl and her sweet brother just loves to take pictures with her!
Love these sweet kids!
Meal Time...Round Two!
Just a few fun pictures of Ms. Alyssa as she prepared to eat dinner on Wednesday night... this time we did the rice cereal. Which she hated. She liked the pureed pears (which by the way, now comes in a squeeze tube... LOVE IT!).
First "OFFICIAL" Food Fest
OK... so with Andrew, we were "BY THE BOOK" kind of parents. We did everything in order and based on what all the parenting books said to do, all are friends advised and whatever the lady in the checkout line recommended :) (Not really!) But we did try to follow the "rules" of parenting.
Guess what they say about your second child is true as we have been much more laid back and not quite so "routine" with Alyssa's "firsts" and the order of things. This includes food.
Poor girl. For the past few weeks, we have noticed when we have been eating dinner that she grabs at the food, our plates, the table and just gawks at our food. She watched us intently as we ate our food.
So from time to time, to calm her "antsy-ness" down, I would ball up tiny balls of bread or give her tiny bites of my mashed potatoes. Nothing "official"... just trying to keep her occupied before my meal would get cold :)
Last Tuesday after we got home and settled from our visit to Scott & White, we decided it was time to try something a little more formal. I know we were supposed to start with baby rice cereal but I didn't have any on hand and figured mashed carrots would be fine. The pediatrician, after all, had already given his blessing to us to start her on table food.
Big brother Andrew needs his picture taken of course!
You know he is going to try and feed her! haha!
She's enjoying this!
Getting bored waiting...

Gotta get strapped in!

SOOO proud of himself!
Watching intently for her next bite...
She's enjoying this!
Starting to get a little "'tude"... (I think we were taking too long to give her next bite!) :)
Getting bored waiting...
YAY! Success! She likes food!
EEG
On Tuesday, April 12th, Alyssa had her EEG at Scott & White in Temple. It was almost 2.5 hours long.
Always her Mommy's happy and sweet girl!
She's grabbing for kisses!
Dave and I counted and she ended up having 28 leads attached to her noggin...
We go in on April 26th for our follow up and to get the results. Today (April 16th), Alyssa had another "episode" while we were driving home from lunch. Her monitor went off signaling us that she had quit breathing for at least 20 seconds and Andrew said things that he saw her doing that made us think she had another "seizure like activity". We're anxious to get answers as to what is happening with our sweet princess!
