What's New

She is growing up way to quickly. Alyssa now walks with a walker, eats all table food and is already giving up her bottles, where did my baby go?

Talk about grown up, Brady is not little anymore. He is such a big kid and amazes me everyday with the things he knows and does.
Eating oreo cookies. The other day we were playing and then he disappeared, next thing I know he is sitting at the table eating an oreo. He thought he needed one so he went to the pantry got one out and sat down to eat it!

Alyssa had to have one too. . . to celebrate her 9 month birthday!

They play so well together it always amazes me. Alyssa always wants to do what Brady is doing and he is so good about letting her play with him eventhough she usually destroys whatever it is that he is playing with.

Alyssa loves to play in the cupboard with Brady's cups and to help unload the dishwasher whether it needs unloaded or not!

We finally got to build a snowman. Tons of snow this winter and only once was it good enough to make a snowman.

Alyssa

She got this hat for Valentine's Day from Grammy and I thought what better time than now to do some pictures (since she's so stinkin' cute in this hat)! It was beautiful outside so we headed out and got some pictures. Too cute!

Happy Valentine's!

My cute valentines!

Alyssa

Brady took this picture of Alyssa with his camera today. I think it is really cool, especially from a 4 year old. Thanks to Grammy for the camera, he loves it! Like his mom I guess!

Alyssa

Ok I know it has been a really long time since I have posted. Since the last post Alyssa has mastered sitting up, crawling, pulling up and standing for a minute by herself, eating table food and just being busy. She is a very happy baby, loves to play with her big brother and all his toys and wants to be everywhere he is. She is wild and busy and a joy to have. She is obsessed with computers and could probably bang on one for hours if I would let her.

Gotta love the pigtails! Her hair is getting so long it hangs in her eyes, now if it would only get a little thicker so the pigtails would stay in.

Crawling all over the place and dancing to anything that makes noise.

Brady and Alyssa play really well together, he is so great with her and still really enjoys having her around. I am very lucky that they get along as well as they do. Sometimes he will wrestle with her and she loves it.

"Ice" Skating

Brady got to ice skate in the backyard, thanks to the 4 inches of ice we got last week. He had a great time playing on it, sliding down the front yard and then crawling back up. He learned quickly not to stand up on the hill, one small injury to the head was all it took.

Bath Time

Both kids love the bath. They usually start out together with Alyssa trying to crawl around the bathtub and splashing, alot and then Brady kicks Alyssa out and gets to play without her distrupting him!

Monster Trucks

We took a trip to the Monster Truck show and had a blast. Papaw and Grandma introduced Brady to monster trucks and he loves them. We got to see Grave Digger and Maximum Destruction. We got the pit pass so we could see all the trucks up close before the show.

We had regular ear plugs for him but the kept falling out so we had to break down and buy him the Monster Truck ones. They must have really worked. . .

. . .he fell asleep for half of the show! He can never say that Alyssa's crying woke him up!

Just the beginning, more to come!

Playing in shaving cream, just trying to pass the time while it is cold, snowy and nasty outside!

Alyssa's first adventures out in the snow, I think she was fairly miserable.

She has started pulling up on everything now, we are in for some trouble!

Playing at the Children's Museum they both love it!

Movie night, Brady watched the movie, Alyssa tried to terrorize Brady

Christmas 2010
