Allyssa's first bath

I'd been giving Allyssa baths with the bath wipes the hospital gave me until Grandma got here because I thought that a bath would be a special thing for Grandma. Allyssa and Grandma both had a VERY good time!

Tracking skills and 4th of July

Allyssa loves a round toy that goes on her play mat. She'll follow it with her eyes until she can't see it anymore, then, she'll move her head all the way over! Yay Allyssa! She also loved the fireworks that some neighbor boys were popping in the church parking lot. We went outside to watch them. She loved to see the bright colors in the sky. She stared and stared. She didn't even mind the noise! Just wait until next year; I bet the noise bothers her then!!

Allyssa tries to turn over

Allyssa can turn the bottom 2/3 of her body over from her stomach to her back! I don't know how soon babies can do that, so it might not be amazing to anyone else, but it is great to me! She gets stuck on her head. She just can't get it to flip over her one arm. We'll have to teach her to get a good, fast start on it! Momentum! That's the key! (Or she could just get bigger and stronger, but wouldn't it be cute to see a 5 pound baby turn over?!)
