Our princess Alyssa =)
Alyssa turned 6 months old yesterday. I just can't believe it. The time has gone so fast. She is the pride and joy of our world! We haven't had her 6 month apt yet so I don't know how much she weighs but I guess about 16 lbs. She is sitting up by her self. She loves eating fruits, and throws up vegtables if I try to feed them to her. It is pretty funny but gross to see pea vomit. I am trying to get her to sleep through the night with out the "cry it out method" which I tried one night but couldn't stand it, I could just feel my heart breaking. Last night she woke up twice but I only feed her once so that was an improvement from the night before when she woke up 5 times. My friend at work has an 8 month old baby who wakes up 2-3 times a night; so I don't feel so bad. Alyssa is now has to have a baby sitter a few times a week while Russ goes to school. I was really nervous about it but it has turned out to be great. The lady who watches her has one girl who is 1 month older than Alyssa and they just play together.
Ignore me in this photo, I didn' know that I was in it. We were trying to get a cute picture of her after her bath but she is making a funny face also. She looks cubby too. =)
FYI: We were driving home from dinner the other night and I saw a little boy on a bike jet out in front of the van in front of us. I knew that there wasn't going to be time to stop and that the boy would get hit. I saw him fly off his bike and hit the ground. He wasn't wearing a helmet. We stopped and I ran to the boy and kept his head still and waited for the ambulance. He seemed to be fine, he could move him legs and was talking but this traumatized me. I was sure he was going to die when I saw him get hit. I am glad that is he is ok but I will always have my children wear helemts no matter what!! And of course make sure they learn to look both ways before crossing the street. I hope that everyone else does too!
