A Bit Of A Brag....

Today we went to my nephew's baptism. It was a very nice ceremony. Alyssa was an angel today. She hardly got fussy, only when she was really tired, but even then, she took her binky and quieted down.

As I have written in a previous blog I was worried about Alyssa not rolling over. I am very proud to say that on Wednesday, Alyssa rolled over. She rolled from her tummy to her back. She still has no desire to roll from her stomach to her back, but I don't care, she rolled one way!!! She will not stay on her tummy for more than 5 seconds now. (She will probably never crawl since she hates tummy time, but I will worry about that in about 3-4 months or whenever everyone else's kids are crawling and Alyssa is not).

As all my worries get the best of me, there was a glimmer of something wonderful today. While I was at the party after the baptism, two different moms came up to me as they saw Alyssa drinking her bottle. They both gave me the jealous look and said "She can hold her own bottle!?!" Obviously she can....Duh! (snicker, snicker)

Alyssa has her 6 month appointment on Friday. I always like to guess what she will weigh. After holding my 20 pound almost 5 month nephew, I definitely think she is lighter than 20 pounds!! I am going to guess she is 17 lbs and 6 ounces. (I will keep you informed if I am close or not!) I have a long list of questions for the doctor, (as I always do). I think the 2 month interval in between checkups seem like forever.
