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.

San Diego

My Mom went to San Diego with her sisters and Aunt Carla. So I took Alyssa down to join them for lunch. We went to Farmer's Market and took a walk on the beach.

Valentine's Day

So Valentine's Day is just like every other holiday when you have kids. Michael and I exchanged gifts that were not romantic but great to use with Lyssa. We decorated cookies and she had so much fun with the frosting and sprinkles. She loves sugar! We didn't get pictures because we were using the video camera.

Hiking

We took the family out to "The Devil's Punchbowl" for a hike. We thought since it was only a mile it would be no problem.
Poor Daddy had Alyssa in the baby backpack and it was a steep trail. Somehow we lost the trail and we were crawling through the bushes trying to get back to the trail. Alyssa loves to be outdoors so she was smiling and laughing the entire time.

Teeth

Alyssa's first tooth came in on Feb 10th and the second on Feb 11th. You may be able to see them in this picture. We were playing peek-a-boo, her favorite game, when we took the picture.

Birthday Party

We went to one of Alyssa's friends birthday party. She had fun playing with all of the kids but you can tell how much she wants to walk or crawl.

We're Home!

After a week and a half Alyssa was happy to be home. She was so excited to see her Daddy (and the dogs).

Baking?

This is what happens when you bake with Grandma!
