Brianna and I were having a discussion about counting. She asked me if Alyssa knew how to count. Alyssa promptly said"yes!" and to prove it she counted the cherries on her shirt.."one...two"

This One Is For Trudy
After dinner last night Shawn and I were playing with Alyssa in the floor. She is a 100% girl! She loves to talk on the phone so she was holding my phone and I told Shawn to call it. When Shawn calls me, Sugarland plays and when it started ringing, Alyssa started singing. And she continued to sing along with the music for about 5 minutes. So then I decided to tr another song and she did not want anything to do it. She was all about the Sugarland!

E-mails from Grandma
As most of you know, Alyssa stays with Shawn's mom during the day and I love it when she sends me e-mails about how things are going. I especially love it when I think, "I should cut and paste that to my blog because it is hard for me to type". So here you go, enjoy!

She had a great breakfast this morning...I cut the bottle off a little after you left and she was finally hungry. She ate 2 eggs, a bit of Turkey bacon and one piece of bread. She was still asking for more...but since she ate a bit of cereal with the kids I was afraid to let her eat too much!
She also went potty for me...I put a pair of pull ups on her and she promptly went poopy in them after about 15 minutes! I put a diaper back on her and she screamed like I was killing her!
She is watching a hooked on phonics video with Damien right now, repeating almost everything the video is saying and singing along with it. I'm going to look into getting her a couple of their videos of her own to watch. I think she might enjoy them more...
She has been a busy little girl already this morning! She is in a fantastic mood, and is tickling everyone!

March Already?
So many have said that I have not updated my blog. I have really been meaning to but things have been crazy.
Alyssa is growing so fast. She has went pee pee in the potty once this month but we are still working with her. Her favorite word is "no". What fun!
Shawn is working. He and Alyssa got the flu (this would be the 2nd time for him). I did not get it. But he is working a lot. They got a new shelter and it is really nice.
I just had a cyst removed from my left wrist. I am recovering, it has been hard. I never realized just how much I used my left arm. The best part about it is I cannot do dishes.
Here are some pics, I am still recovering from surgery so it is a little hard to type.

No More B-O-T-T-L-E
After about a month of really trying hard and trying everything possible, we have finally gotten rid of the bottle thanks to much help from Grandma Morris. If you are reading this NeNe, thank you from the bottom of the bottle.
If you are at this point, trying to get rid of the bottle well here are some suggestions, call grandma. Truthfully, I think that if it were not for Grandma we would still be giving that bottle. She really helped a lot with sticking to the no bottle and then I purchased some cups made by Nuby and they are great. Alyssa refers to them as her ba-ba and she will drink milk out of them. We only spell b-o-t-t-l-e around her now, I am still holding onto the bottles but have a feeling that I will get rid of them mid-week.
So here we are, almost 15 months old and no bottle, no binky, and so far she is not sucking her thumb so that is a plus.

I vote for more time in the day, was that on the ballot?
Organizing has never been difficult for me (those of you who know me well know this very well) but lately I have really struggled. Things are a disaster around the house and my calendar is a mess. You would not believe the filing that I need to do at home and at work, I am considering just turning on the shredder at home and just getting rid of it all. I am stuck in this rut and can not find my way out.
The worst part of it all is the fact that Thanksgiving is in, it is late, I think 12 days but I could be wrong. Family is coming, friends are coming and I am stressing. There is not enough time in the day to do it all. I drop Alyssa off at 7 am get off between 4 - 5 pm, rush to pick her up and then get home and cook, clean, and then I am exhausted. I am getting better at getting up early and getting things done before Alyssa gets up and the more I do it the easier it is getting.
Ok, rambling. Any advice?
