Birthday Girl!

So Alyssa turned 1 on October 2nd 2010! It's hard to believe that one year has already came and gone and my little baby isn't such a little baby anymore. I've watched as she has grown and developed, she is learning something new everyday and becoming so smart! She catches on easily and is simply rotten! She "dips" with her daddy...meaning she finds a cup (toy) and goes around pretending to spit like her daddy does when he dips...! It's gross and funny all at the same time~! Hopefully she will stop soon because as of now she does it quite frequently! At her last Dr's appt on October 4th Alyssa was 18 lbs and 9.5 ozs...still not 20 lbs yet! But as of now I'd say she has reached that point! Alyssa is a mommas girl no doubt, she loves to spend time with me, laying on the couch watching Monsters Inc is our favorite pass time! She is doing better with the whole getting rid of the bottle...we were down to just 3 bottles yesterday! The sippy is becoming her friend slowly but surely. My baby girl had an amazing birthday party, there were so many people...family and friends! Thanks to all of you, it was wonderful! Alyssa got so many gifts but the greatest of all was to see all those people gather simply for this one little girl to show their love for her! She ate her cake like a pro...icing everywhere and it was great! I couldn't imagine her birthday any differently! Great day, great memories, great people...great love! Alyssa has so many people who love and care for her, she is a very blessed little girl! But we are those who are blessed to have her in our lives! Thank you lord for her first year, praying for many many more just the same and better!
