Crawling!






Alyssa started crawling last night! She was in the middle of the family room and crawled right up to the couch and stood up like she has been crawling for weeks. Wow I guess the light bulb just goes on huh? Today I'm having a blast following her around. I was trying to clean the kitchen and Alyssa was everywhere. I set her down with toys in the family room and she crawled down the hallway to the front door, the dogs were out front so she was pounding on the door wanting them back inside. She then came to the kitchen and found the dog dishes and played in the water and saw mom putting away dishes so she decided to help unload the dishwasher. She doesn't like her knees on the hard floor so she did a stinkbug crawl over to the dishwasher. She saw me use a rag to clean up the water puddle so now she is mopping the floor with that rag. How cute!

We went to Erik's birthday party at a small indoor water park. There were fountains and sprayers in the pool so it took a little while but Alyssa finally started having fun. She even enjoyed the water slide after going down a few times.

Swimming




Alyssa and I went to Utah for a few days. The pool was still to cold but Pi heated the hot tub a little so we could take a dip. She was scared at first and fussed a bit but then she got in her floater and enjoyed it.

Boy or Girl?



I went to a doctor in L.A. and had a very detailed ultrasound last week. We have it on DVD but I can't get it to upload to the blog so the pictures will have to do for now. Since the baby was not quite 12 weeks it is not for sure but I asked to doctor to take a guess at the gender. He looked very confident when he said a girl! So it looks like Alyssa is going to have a sister and we are going to have our hands full. We are so excited!

Pancakes



We had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and Alyssa LOVED them. Not surprising though we haven't found much that she doesn't like. When her tray is empty she signs more. This used to be pointing one hand to the other but now she is more demanding and just points to the tray.
