I LOVE.....

Spaghettio's, Ravioli and anything with red sauce that I can paint on my face.

Bananas, but don't try to cut them up for me. I'm a big girl and can eat it myself. I also enjoy smashing them between my fingers then pulling my hair.

Strawberries that are bigger than my hands. YUM!

Blueberries! They're my favorite.

As you can probably guess, we do a lot of bathing after meal time in this house. This little sweetheart is SO independent. About the only thing that we can help her eat is yogurt, and that's only because I refuse to let her smear that all over her cute little self. Hopefully we'll be mastering the spoon/fork thing soon. But until then......

A Musical Genius

Anytime I sit down to play the piano, this is where Alyssa goes. Right next to mommy. She already knows how to clap and count! Well, clap anyway. Hopefully in 5 years she will still love sitting there as much as she does now.

Alyssa has entered the "climbing" stage of life. It's wonderful. We bought her a mini-grand piano for her birthday, which she loves to play. The other day I heard her in her room doing her little "eh, eh" and knew she was trying to get to something that must have been out of reach. I headed down the hall to help her and what did I find? Alyssa, standing straight up on the keyboard of her piano! The keys are only 3 inches long!!!! Her little heels didn't even have anything to support them. She was trying to take the coat hooks off her wall. Luckily, the little tyke didn't fall. Thank goodness for good balance.

These are the Days of My Life

Ok, so I've never really seen an episode of Days of Our Lives, my soap of choice is All My Children. But for the time being I only have one child and All My Child sounds funny, and I couldn't think of anything else to call this lovely blog other than The Days of My Life. So there you have it, you inquisitive minded people.

I'm starting this blog for a couple reasons. First of all, I stink at journal writing, but I'm on the computer everyday. We'll see if I can actually do something productive on here other than order pictures of Lyssa-Lou from the Wal-mart. Second, everyone else has a blog, why shouldn't I? If everyone else jumped off a cliff would I do it? It depends what's at the bottom.
