It seems four months have just come and gone and it feels like yesterday when we were bringing home a newborn. I remember feeling scared shitless and wondering if I would be cut out for this. Then Carlos said to me, "There is no time for buyer's remorse. We don't even have a receipt!" That's when I realized...."This is serrrrioussssss!!!!" Our time has been filled with lots of joy, poop and drool!! Alyssa is getting so big and growing more and more into a little person. Right now she can roll over both ways, grasp and grab for toys, she loves to sing (especially when she's sleepy), and she scoots all over the place. She has had her first real laughs and has discovered her voice and toes. She has already been through the four month sleep regression (WE SURVIVED!!) and she realized Charlie is her best friend. At her four month check up she weighed 14 lbs, 5 oz. and she was 25 1/4 inches long. She is getting so big!! Except for her head...which is 16 inches, Lord knows she didn't inherit Carlos's melon! We also started solids. First it was rice and she thought she was the luckiest baby in the world. Then we tried peas, and she was in heaven. Then we tried bananas....not so much in heaven. Then her favorite: Sweet potatoes!!! I think this is the funniest stage of her life...but then again I remember saying this last month!

Alyssa and Me:
We are so lucky in love, and we have the greatest child in the world. With a child like Alyssa, who wouldn't want more? But that's a topic for a later date!
