Losing count of how many weeks exactly...

Now that we are up into the 20's as to how many weeks old Alyssa is, I'll have to stop labeling the posts by weeks and start getting a little more creative...
This past weekend my mom and cousin were in town. Its nice to see family with Alyssa and see how loved this little girl is. She is going to be spoiled rotten soon. Dave and I were able to go out to dinner for Valentine's Day while my mom kept Alyssa. We also went out for a few drinks with some friends afterwards. I had like 2 1/2 drinks all night and Dave probably 3 1/2 and we realized this is the extent of our partying nowadays, which is fine with us. Now that we wake up every morning at 7:15, staying out late and drinking really does not interest me. Plus, I still just miss Alyssa the whole time I'm gone. Maybe thats just because this was only like the 3rd time I've left her. It was nice though to go out with friends and just hang out without having to worry about being home in time for bedtime and all.
Alyssa can now walk as far as she needs to in order to reach something (holding our hands obviously). If we set her on the floor, she will walk to Brody or someone else sqauting on the floor. She is getting chubbier by the day. When I took her to the doctors for her 4 month on the 23rd on January she weighed in at 14 lbs 6 ozs. I took her to the doctors last week, just 3 weeks later, and she now weighs 15 lbs 8 ozs. She gained 1 lb 2 oz in just 3 weeks! And besides like 2 oz of cereal before bed, she is still eating only breastmilk. I can't imagine how much she is going to gain once she gets real/baby food. Oh and she was 24 1/2 inches at both appointments, haha! So no growth in length, only girth :). She has outgrown a lot of her 3-6 month clothes and is into her 6-9 and even some of her 6-12 month jeans. My little peanut isn't so little anymore.
She is actually starting to get more snuggly, which I love. She is just always so curious and alert and wanting to look around that she won't lay her head down on me. But now that she is getting more active, it must be wearing her out because when shes sleepy she'll lay her little head on my shoulder. I wish she was that sleepy all the time so I could jsut snuggle her all day long.
