Alyssa updates

Alyssa pooped 3x last week!  Very unusual for her, since sometimes she doesn't even poop 3x a MONTH!!  I took her to the dr this morning for a cough.  She has a mild ear infection & some congestion.  We are continuing the breathing treatments & starting a 3 day antibiotic. 

Once we got home I left her in the infant carrier while I did a few things. Not even 5 minutes later I got her out & went to change her diaper - not having any idea what I was about to find!  Holy Moly!!!!!! Let me start by saying I had poop on my shoulder!  I can't remember the last time she pooped such a large quantity!  She weighed 16.3 pounds at the dr, but I bet she's a couple of ounces, if not a pound, lighter now!
Things Alyssa loves:
Pat a cake
Itsy bitsy spider
Baths
Her big sister

Outside

Things Alyssa doesn't love:
Getting dressed
Bouncer
Jumperoo
Playmat
Bottles
Being woke up by her big sister

She has started sitting up with a little help.  She can do it for about 30 seconds.  We just really started practicing this week, so she will get better.  Ahhhhh, she found her feet about 2 weeks ago!  I forgot how stinking cute it is when this happens!  

We also started oatmeal this week!  When Addison took her first bite of cereal she cried because it scared her, but not Alyssa! She kept reaching for the spoon & cried because I wasn't feeding her fast enough!  Next week I plan to start making up some purees & freezing them.  

I sure hope Alyssa isn't as picky as Addison when she's older!  I often wonder where I went wrong with feeding Addison.  She ate everything for the first 15 months  then refused to eat anything.  That left me resorting to nuggets, Mac n Cheese, yogurt, cheese & crackers, cereal, carrots....  Occasionally she will eat something like spaghetti or pork chops, but the next time it's served - NO WAY!
