6 months old!!!

My big girl is 6 months old already!! I cannot believe it. She was such a good girl at her well check up last week. Alyssa is now 14 lbs 6 oz (19%) and she is 26 1/2 inches long (75%). The doctor said she will be happy when her percentages match a little better... but heck, she is finally growing, so mommy is very happy!!



We have been working on getting her strong enough to sit by herself. The boppy has helped out a lot in that area (they are wonderful!) Her doctor said that she is behind in her motor skills and that if we don't see an improvement in the next few weeks then she will have to go to a physical therapist.



Here is Alyssa and her gramma... they have been having a lot of good cuddle time lately. Chris and I started back with our small group and mom and dad have been awesome watching her on Sundays so that daddy and I can have special time.
Isn't my mom gorgeous???



And wouldn't you know, 2 days after the doctor Alyssa decided that she would go ahead and sit by herself!! She is such a riot... she will not roll over (she just has no desire) but she can sit for several minutes at a time with a toy in her hand... what a nut!!



And finally a parting shot of my girls booty... brought to you by her nana. Nana bought her this outfit and another one that says pretty on her bottom for Christmas. Chris swore that no daughter of his would ever have words on her tushy but it is just so darn cute on a baby!!

She is SO cute! I love the "tushy" pants! Gotta get Ms. Marleigh some of those! We need to get the "girls" together one day!

Oh my goodness, she is so cute! And girl - we women do things on our own schedules...not on any doctor's schedule! She is so tiny!!! Olivia was like that too, but her brother is not! He weighs more now than she did at 14 months. And yes, your mom does look beautiful.

Hey Stephanie. It was so good to see you the other day, and to finally meet Miss Alyssa Jane in person. I hope that we can get together soon. Perhaps in a few months the kids will be old enough to "play" together and we can get all of the blogging sisters together for a dessert play date!! Hope all is well with you.
