Alyssa's First Word!

This morning Alyssa woke for breakfast a little after 5:00 and after she ate and played we crawled into bed. Michael came back into bed for some "Family Snuggies" and our little angel dove toward him and said "Dada". We have been working on Dada and Mama for a while and we were getting close yesterday but this morning she got it.I'm sure you can imagine Daddy's smile. He is a very proud Dada.

Easter Morning

Grizz and Zorra were as excited about the Easter Bunny as Lyssa. When we got home from church the dogs had gotten into her Easter treats.
Yes, we gave her a lollipop for a few minutes and she loved it.

Happy Easter

Nana and Tata sent an Easter package for us and Alyssa loved it! She helped open the box and found a soft pink bunny that she loves. She sleeps with it and this morning when she woke up I found her playing with it in bed instead of crying for me.
They also sent the bunny ears and the Cowboys Hat which don't stay on long but they are cute. Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you Jess for your help with my blog.

Pat-e-cake

Alyssa learned how to play pat-e-cake. As soon as I start singing it she brings her hands together and claps. This is a picture of it. She also knows "high-five", it is so cute!
This morning she waved bye-bye to daddy as he left for work. I thought it was a fluke but she later waved to our neighbor.

Nana and Tata

Michael's parents came over to see us for his birthday and took us out to dinner! We all had fun watching Alyssa eat and then later reading with her, she is so entertaining.
