More talking

Allyssa has been practicing her 'b' sounds. She says "baa" for lambs and "b" for bite when we eat cookies. She loves cookies. She is getting very good at saying, "bye-bye" everytime anyone leaves. Then, she cries because she doesn't want them to go. Sweet girl.

We've got a talker

Today Allyssa and I were leaving David's office and Allyssa said, "bye-bye" to Daddy!

Allyssa with the Easter Lillies at church

The Resurrection of Our Lord!

Allyssa wakes up early, so it was easy to go to the Sunrise service. After that, we ate breakfast at church before coming home to play, nap, nurse, play, snack, play, and head back to church for the 10:30 service. After church, Allyssa played with Ella and Emma, and was held by everyone in the world. Then we came home for lunch. After that we relaxed until heading over to a friend's house for supper.

Allyssa is napping!!!!

She's been asleep for 1 hour and 1 minute! She didn't even cry! Hooray!

Magnet; March 20

I bought magnets for Allyssa. "Ages 3 and up" it said on the package. Oh silly package. I put the minus sign, the fraction bar, and the divided by sideways L on the part of the fridge that Allyssa can't reach so that she couldn't poke her mouth with it. I thought that was good. Allyssa played for a long time with the magnets down low. One in particular, she really liked. Finally, I took her with me to do chores. We did laundry, vaccumed, and then I thought it was time to play again. Blocks. We would build a tower, but that magnet was still in her hand and was getting in the way. I figured she'd cry when I took it away from her. I thought I aught to anyways. That's when I discovered that she wasn't holding it because she loved it, she was holding it because it was stuck on her thumb. I tried to get it off, but it wouldn't come. Off to the kitchen for some vegetable oil. After pouring a lot on, it finally came off. Allyssa never complained. She even enjoyed getting her hands washed afterwards. Now that pesky 6 and all of its frinds (the B, 9, A, 4, etc...) are all up high, too. She can still play with the M and the N, and letters/numbers that don't have holes that are the perfect size for little thumbs.

Facination with the wall; March 19

Allyssa learned she could drive the train on the wall. The darker color by the train is her drool!

Our acrobat; March 18th

Allyssa climbed up on her toy all by herself. She was very proud of herself!

Easter eggs; March 17th

As I stuffed eggs for the church Easter egg hunt, Allyssa enjoyed the new toys.

Cookie thief; March 17

Allyssa loves cookies. We try to keep her from eating the chocolate in them, but we let her have bites. Here she stole a bite of my cookie! Silly girl!
