Pictures are up!

I posted pictures of Alyssa the last few weeks, finally!

Alyssa is growing up too fast. She stands completely on her own for extended periods of time so now I am just waiting for those first steps. She walks all around the house as long as she's holding on to furniture. She's a monkey. She loves to climb. I am her favorite jungle gym, the dishwasher is a close second.

She has a new love for Brody. She is actually starting to play with him, not just annoy him and grab at him. They were playing earlier and she was just belly laughing at him. I wanted to run and get my video camera but she would have followed me so instead I just sat and watched them. She was leaning in letting him lick her face and then she would jsut giggle at him. so cute. Brody is going to enjoy the extra attention for sure since most of his attention was redirected to Alyssa 10 months ago. How crazy is that? My baby is 10 months old. Her birthday party is getting closer and closer and I am so excited for it. She will get her first dessert, birthday cake!

Its getting easier to feed Alyssa since she is eating mostly table food now. Well, healthy table food at least. Still no sweets or fried things. But she gets seasoned chicken and veggies from whatever I cook for dinner and loves to eat chunks of watermelon/cantelope/etc. My veggie garden kind of died while i was in MD but I worked on it yesterday weeding, fertilizing with organic plant food aka chicken poop, and watering...hopefully I salvaged it. I did eat a pepper from my garden with dinner and I think a tomoato may be ready for tonights dinner.
