Alyssa and Evan

Alyssa and Evan, Ryan's baby brother.  Such a sweet pair!  Evan (5.5 months old) is only three and a half months younger than Alyssa (9 months). 

He had a little bit of trouble sitting up at first.  It's a difficult feat for a less-than-six-month-old!  Alyssa was fascinated by his hair.


Once he was righted again, he was interested in Alyssa.

Distracted...

Smiling at the big kids playing nearby...

Smiling pretty for daddy.  Don't just just love the bow?  It's a miracle it stays in!

Alyssa Interacts

Alyssa eats the dog whistle...


...Stops to smile...


...and plays a game. This is one of her favorites and she's really good at it. She yells and waits for the person she's playing with to yell back. Here she is in mid-shout. She really gets into it!

Riding in the Car!

I'm always leary of getting the shopping carts with the cars on the front because it's like driving a semi... they're about 8 feet long and have a 20 foot turning radius!  But the stars aligned Friday night such that there was one readily available and Daddy was willing and able to push it.

Bath Time Pull Ups

Alyssa is a content baby, happy to sit and play.  She has yet to really start moving around... no creeping, crawling, or pulling up yet.  To my surprise however, she grabbed the edge of the tub the other night and acted like she wanted to pull up on it!  Silly baby :)

Here I Am!

Kelly loves to announce her whereabouts when she's hiding.  Here she is peeping out from behind her toy treehouse.

First Day of School

The girls started day care last week in anticipation of my return to work tomorrow.  Here they are excited to embark on their school careers.  (Unfortunately Kelly wasn't as excited later in the week, but we're working on that...)

Mommy and Alyssa

A few pictures of me and my little cutie. I am a bit worried about her adjustment at daycare next week, but I'm hoping for a smooth transition!

Goofballs

Fun in Costco ("Daddy, take our picture!"). And yes, Kelly wore those ridiculous glasses during the whole shopping excursion. She won them at Chuck E. Cheese so she was very proud of them.

Annie Oakley Here We Come

We're big fans of the Second Amendment right to bear arms here in Virginia.  Kelly asked Daddy if she can have a gun too.  And not just any gun, a pink one.  So, we couldn't resist this adorable one, complete with a pink holster, that we spotted at the Cracker Barrel.  So Daddy suited her up and taught her the "Virginia tuck."  Kelly will learn about gun safety at an early age.
