First Word

Today Alyssa had her Upper GI Test. 6 1/2 long hours later we finally finished. It was not a fun experience trying to get her to drink the Barium needed to conduct the test and deal with a mean doctor. Who was irritated that a 11 month old would not sit still and was fighting the Barium. After he started getting snippy with me about her not drinking it, I got snippy right back and he started to be nicer. Come on. . . .what do you expect from an almost 1 year old.

Well, her first word was uttered. . . . . . . . and it was da da. . . . . . NJ is very excited! She hasn't associated it with him but it will be a matter of days with how excited NJ is. Our little girl is growing up so fast. Next thing we now, she is going to be talking words non stop.

Vacation

We went on vacation to meet Daddy's family in Idaho and Montana. I met lots of Uncles, Aunts, Second Cousins and my Great Grandpa. I saw lots of animals. . .dogs, cats, horses, pigs, cows and donkeys. My favorite was the Hound Dog, Chip. I walked on the beach and waded in the water and went on a swing. I finally started feeding myself after watching all the big kids do it.I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again.

Oops

Mommy, Daddy and I went on vacation last week to visit Daddy's family in Idaho and Montana. I was really good for them while we were in the car. But, my belly hasn't been feeling too good and I had quite a few accidents. Daddy said that I pooped up to 6 times a few days and they were diarrhea. So, we cut our trip short and headed home. Mommy and Daddy drove at night because I don't seem to poop at night. Well I threw them a curve ball and decided to poop 3 times on the way home. When we got home, mommy called my surgeon and I am back on an antibiotic and have an Upper GI test scheduled for Thursday. I am also suppose to see a GI specialist, but am not able to get in until mid October. I was weighed at the pediatrician and I lost some weight. I now weight 18 pounds 12 ounces and am 29 1/2 inches tall. Mommy said I don't look like a baby anymore. :0( We will try and find out what is going on in my bowel. I will post pictures from my fun vacation later. . . . .

Kisses

Alyssa kissing the mirror. . . .everyone else is constantly kissing that baby, why can't I????

Vacation

Mommy and Daddy were on Vacation last week. I am not sure what that means, but it sure was nice having them around so much. We had lots of fun hanging out despite the HEAT!!

I went to a Mariners game. . . . .

Went swimming. . . . .I sure like kicking . . . .

Went to Leavenworth. . . .

I hung out in my diaper because it was so hot. . . .I am getting so BIG. . .

My last weigh in put me at 19 pounds 2 ounces and 29 1/8 inches tall.
