Alyssa Turns 3 Months Old

Alyssa Playing Hookie

Alyssa started daycare last week. It wasn't a full week because we played hookie on Friday. I then took her again on Monday. Monday night, she was coughing at 2am. I was livid! 5 days at daycare and already sit?!

She had no fever, and was happy as ever, so I took her back yesterday. I walked in and asked which kid had been coughing on mine. They felt really bad, but apparently, they were all sniffly so no big deal to leave. She sounded worse last night, but she slept through the night, 9 hours!

Got up this morning, still happy as ever, boy does she smile a lot now. I stuck her in her bouncey seat in the smallest bathroom we have with all the doors closed while I showered. I was hoping for the steam to knock all the "crud" loose. That worked!! I suctioned it all out, and she was even happier!

She then played for about an hour, and decided she wanted to take a nap at about 8:30. At this time, I'm thinking, if she falls asleep, we're playing hookie today, and I'm not taking her in. Grandma wants a Grandma say tomorrow, so is it OK for a 12 week old to play hookie from school 2 days in a row? I feel a little guilty...

It's still early, and she can easily go to school when she wakes up from this nap, probably at about 9:30 since her naps are only an hour long.... but I'm thinking 2 days home will help her get better sooner. Or, will she get better at the same pace since everyone who is already sick will also be getting better each day? Such a hard decision.

Alyssa's 2 Month JCPenney Pictures

I can't say Alyssa enjoyed her day at the photographers... but I can't blame her too much. The photographer wanted her to lay on her tummy on a towel and lift her head on command. Ummm, yeah, I repeat, she's 2 months old! She's not going to do that. Instead, she decided to spit up on his pink sheer thingy...

We did get a few good shots, mostly from me holding her and comforting her while nekkid, which was not the plan for the pictures, but they turned out good. We tried poses in the cute outfit her Grandma Cathy got her with a fur coat. We also tried pictures with the preppy argyle sweater she got from her Uncle Erick... Nope, she liked her diaper!


































What do you think?? Cute, huh?? I don't think we'll be back for month 3, but we'll be there for month 4!

Alyssa Dances in her Bumbo

Alyssa LOVES her Bumbo!!

Alyssa and Daddy

Alyssa and Daddy like to sit and watch Golf.












She'll be the next Tiger Woods as soon as she opens that fist and decides to start grabbing things, like the handle of a club.

Alyssa Wearing H&M

Isn't Alyssa so pretty wearing her H&M sweater from Uncle Erick?






She is also talking, giving her point about how they should reconsider using only European models for their clothes!

A Day in the Life of Alyssa and her Bumbo

Alyssa loves her Bumbo! It's a big change from always be in a reclining position on the bouncer or in the swing...




























It's also nice to see the change of expressions and different variations of happiness...
