Mama Said Knock You Out!

As you can see from the video, she favors the right hook.

Some new pictures

Well, things are going well, kind of. Katie's job is ok, and I am really liking mine. FMC is a good company, and I am enjoying my work. I have been sick this week, and Alyssa woke up pretty sick this morning, but she has been surprisingly cheerful. She is a lot of fun. She is starting to get really talkative, she had a conversation with my sister Sally for about 15 minutes over the phone the other day. Of course nothing of what she said was understood, but she would listen, then laugh, and then she would talk when Sally asked her questions. She is getting pretty good at saying some words too, along with her many signs that she knows. Her favorite fruit is now a strawberry, she says "staabouy".

We finally got some of the pictures off of our camera, so I wanted to put some of them up here.

The other night I was filling up the bath and stepped out of the bathroom for a minute. I heard a splash and a gasp and ran in to find this.

She loves to lean over the edge of the tub and touch the water. I guess she leaned a little too far!

Alyssa loves to try on shoes, especially ones that aren't hers. Here is one of those times, it also gives a shot of her haircut that grandma gave her.

I thought this was a funny picture so I had to include it.

More shoes

We have found a new problem in that Alyssa refuses to understand that she can't draw on her body, or the table, or the chairs, or her doll, or anything she wants really. We're working on it.

Alyssa loves to play in the bath, and one of her new tricks is to blow bubbles. She really likes it, we need to take her swimming more often.
