Slacking

Sorry I've been slacking with my weekly updates. We got a new computer (and were waiting on the new one to arrive) so in the interem we were using another computer we couldnt upload pics onto. Now we have the new computer but I am in MD right now and forgot the cord to upload pics. Next week there will be lots of pics, I promise.
Alyssa continues to grow by the minute. I keep thinking she will be walking anyday now, she just needs the confidence. She'll look like shes about to and then she'll drop down and crawl. She never falls over, she just bends her knees and sits. Thats why I think she has the physical capability, she just doesn't know it yet. They say that often good crawlers are late walkers. If this is the case, she wont be walking for a while. Her crawling just keeps getting faster and faster. I don't think I could move that fast on all fours. I also feel like her talking is about to take off. We will be talking to her and she will repeat words that we say. I don't think she knows what shes saying, she's just repeating new sounds/words...but its still funny to hear words come out of her little mouth.
Last week Alyssa was SO sick. Her fever was almost 104. She didn't seem too bothered though and there were no other symptoms. I took her to the doctor and they said probably a virus. She wasn't fussy the whole time until the fever broke actually, and then she was a mess for a few days. And a "mess" for Alyssa means slightly fussy. People still commented on how she was such a happy/good baby, and I was like really? this is her a mess. I guess it finally all just caught up to her and she was exhausted. But shes 100% better now. It is nice to see my little girl feeling well again.
Sleep is the same...great on and off, then not so great on and off. Last night was a not so great night. She didn't get to sleep til 915 because she was crying (I had to pat her butt to sleep) and then woke at 545. I will not get her out of her crib until 7 though. So she cried for almost an hour and then fell back asleep, figures. But since we are in MD, we are sharing a room so I had to just listen to her cry. I finally had to sneak out because I was going crazy. We have a divider up so she can't see me but I think she still knows I'm in the room and not going to get her.
I'll be back in NC soon to upload new Alyssa pictures!
