Our Day At The Park

We went to the park the other day and Daddy got some AWESOME pictures of the kids!!  I thought I would share some of them for you!!

Alyssa – 32 Weeks

What I Love About Alyssa – 32 Weeks

I love how much you love to play!  You love to roll all around the floor!  You are going to be crawling any day now!

I love how well you are starting to be able to sit in restaurant high chairs.  You are not as slumped over any more :-)

I love how cute you look in the coat that Mommy crocheted for you before you were born :-)

I love this adorable picture taken of you on your very first Thanksgiving!!

In keeping with the tradition we had to give you a turkey leg on your first Thanksgiving!  You liked to chew on it (probably because you are teething) but you would not hold it!  I had to hold it for you!

Look at this dirty look you are giving me!!  I crack up every time I look at this picture!!

I like that pretty smile much better!

I love you my little angel!!

Of course – your brothers love you lots too!!

I can’t forget my boys!!  I love them so very much too!!  (Daddy told me I am spending too much time gushing about Alyssa…)  I love my family and am very THANKFUL for all of them!!  I am so blessed!

What I Love About Alyssa – 31 Weeks

Alyssa – 31 Weeks

Alyssa there are so many things I love about you!!

I love how much you enjoyed yourself at the park this week!  You were in the stroller most of the time while I was playing with the boys but you didn’t seem to mind.  You were enjoying being out in the sunshine as much as the rest of us!!

 

I love how you will play so hard on the floor, rolling everywhere, and then will finally just give it up and fall asleep!  And I cracked up when I took this picture…you managed to put your play mat on top of you like a blanket!

 

I love the relationship you and I are developing!  My prayer is that we will be close and that you will feel that you can talk to me about anything!

 

You are still quite finicky about your eating…You will eat about 3 or 4 bites of breakfast (no matter what it is I give you).  I can’t get you to eat anything at lunch…and you will eat a bit more at supper sometimes.  Oh well – you are still nursing really well and I guess that is what matters right now!  :-)  I don’t think I’m going to have to worry about you weaning yourself from the breast before I am ready like both of your brothers did!

I love the fact that I finally got a picture of your nose wrinkle!!!  You are so funny!!

This was taken right after that shot.  This was your reaction to me getting so excited that I actually got a picture of your nose wrinkle!!

You love your brothers so much and you love playing on Seth’s bed while I am getting them ready for bed!!

 

I love how when I put the camera card in the computer to get the pictures I found quite a few pictures of you on the camera that I didn’t take…apparently Seth got hold of Mommy’s camera again!  But I must say he did get some good pictures of you!!

 

Oh Alyssa I love watching you grow!!  You melt my heart more and more every day!!  You really have completed our family!!  I said this with both of the boys as well…but I can’t even hardly remember life without you now!!

Alyssa – 30 Weeks

 

What I Love About Alyssa – 30 Weeks

*First I want to apologize for not getting Alyssa’s 29 week post up last week…we were remodeling our kitchen so I didn't have time to play on the computer last week at all :-(.  Even though there is work left to do I am back at it this week!!  I hated missing this post!!

Alyssa I love how good you were during the kitchen remodel.  For the most part as long as you were in the same room with me you were fine!  You did a lot of playing in your activity chair on the table and you love playing on the new kitchen floor!

I love how you wrinkle your nose up and make grunting sounds.  It is the cutest thing!!  But you are a stinker!  You will not let me get a picture of it!!

I love all the little faces that you love to make.  I love how you purse your lips and how puff your cheeks!!  And you are constantly smiling!  You are the happiest little baby!

I love the fact that you love eating now – you are getting quite enthusiastic about it!!  Mommy’s spoon is not fast enough now!! 

You have a little bit of your Poppy in you though…you do not like green peas!!  You make the most God awful faces when I try to feed them to you.  You will kind of tolerate them if I mix them with baby cereal but you refuse to swallow them if I feed them to you with nothing else mixed in!  It’s so funny!!  My boys would eat ANYTHING I put in their mouth!  It looks like you are going to be the picky one!!

You are not crawling yet but I am expecting it to happen any time now!  You have figured out how to get just about anywhere you want by rolling.  You are all over the living room now (usually trying to get close to your brothers).

Your little legs are constantly kicking now.  I seriously think the only time they are not kicking is when you are sleeping or nursing.

You are also becoming quite a jabber box!!  You love to coo and talk and you even mumble while you are nursing.  You are so cute!!

You love to reach for me and it melts my heart every time!!  You love to give hugs and kisses too!!

I have to constantly keep my hair up now because you love to pull it and yank and you try to grab it as much as you can.  I wouldn’t have a problem with it if it didn’t hurt so bad :-)

The cutest thing though are the nights that I end up in the guest bed with you in the wee hours of the morning.  After a few hours ofa sleeping with you cuddled against my back you will decide it is time to wake up and will give my hair a good yank to wake me up!

Alyssa I love you so much!!!  You are my cuddle bug!!

Our New Kitchen

It seems like forever since I have posted on here!  Things have been so busy around our house the past few weeks!!  We just finished remodeling our kitchen.  It has literally taken up all of my time!!  But we are finished now and getting back into our normal routine even though I still have a lot of clean up to do…I am just trying to work into our normal schedule.

I know I missed Alyssa’s weekly post last week and I will do my best to make up for it this week!!

Here are some pictures of our kitchen!
