Alyssa 7 week update

Aly is getting bigger fast – time is really flying by.  They say the first 6 weeks is the hardest, then they say the first 3 months, then 6 months, then blah blah blah.  Being this is our second kid we had a bit better idea what to expect.  Aly is different than Noah in a lot of ways.  She seems to be eating and sleeping a lot better, more content in general.  Noah was really skinny, Aly is more like other babies we’ve seen.  She is seeming to get skinner already than she had been at her 1 month checkup, but we’ll see in a few weeks how she’s tracking.  Already she looks a lot different than she did before.

She’s really started to make faces, smile, and stuff like that lately.  She’s also started wanting to stand up on her legs (supported at least).  She really enjoys it and you can feel her pushing herself to do it.  She even ended up rolling over from her belly to her back during tummy time a couple times yesterday.  It’s pretty neat to see her do that, I’m excited for every advancement because we know how much fun it’ll be once she’s moving around more and stuff.

Noah is a good big brother to her.  He’s really gentle at times, giving her kisses & hugs.  Other times he doesn’t like not getting the attention and acts out a bit.  I think it’s the worst when it’s just Kris watching the kids and she’s feeding Aly.  Noah doesn’t like not having the attention. Overall though, he’s a great big brother to her.  It’ll be fun watching them grow up together.

She really likes her baths, it’s pretty often a hectic time of night when it’s bath time, but usually I take Noah and do his bath, during that time Kris is giving Aly her bath.  Noah usually likes to help with Aly, so he’ll take a cotton ball and help wash her head or something like that.  I’m not sure how she’d get clean without him.

After her bath, she looks cute.

Here’s Mom & Noah from today, Kris wants me to tell you guys she was very tired.

She’s a little young to have this really work, but already Indy likes her quite a bit.

Tummy time again!

    Great pictures. She has even changed from a week ago in Duluth. She has lots of little dimples in her arms! You have a lot of cute shots of her alone and her with Noah, too. And Kris, you look pretty good!

    Wow, she looks so different from seeing her in December! What a cute little girl, and Noah is Mr. Cute too. I can’t believe how fast Aly is growing.

    Thanks for the comments – she is changing fast and growing up fast. It’s already neat looking back at her pictures and seeing the changes.
