Second Baby Shower & Alyssa Talk

I know I haven't posted in about a week, I have been very busy. I am now getting everything together for the second baby shower that I am helping throw. I have made these really cute poems and game sheets. Of course, I am so creative that I am going to cut them into little dresses. Of course, after about 20 sheets of paper cut into little dresses, I curse myself for ever thinking of this damn idea. So every moment of spare time I have had this past week has been cutting cute little dresses for the baby shower on Sunday.

Gary, Alyssa and myself went to a get-together on Saturday night. There was a little girl who was two months older than Alyssa there. She was crawling everywhere, cruising along the furniture and even taking a few steps on her own. Alyssa stared at her in admiration, as if she longed to be wondering the room grabbing at all the things she should not be touching. She then looked down grabbed one of her toys and resumed playing in her safe little cozy spot where she doesn't move.

The other night I put the remote control (which she loves) just a little out of her reach. She grabbed for it twice and thought to herself, I don't care if I have that remote, I really don't want it. Why would I go out of my way for that??

I know, I know, I really am thankful I am not chasing her everywhere. Alyssa truly is a wonderful baby. She eats well, sleeps well, plays well. I couldn't ask for a better baby. I am actually afraid to have more babies as this will come back to haunt me in the future.

I told Gary the other day, I wish I could freeze this time frame. It is wonderful. She hasn't broke through any teeth yet (so she isn't crabby). She has been going to bed without any problems for the past few weeks. She doesn't even cry or whine unless she is tired or hungry. She isn't getting into everything because she isn't mobile. I know things only get better, but at this point, I would change diapers forever to have her stay like this!!!

Well, I hope that Sunday's shower turns out well and hopefully I won't be planning any other baby showers in the near future. It really makes a dent in the wallet.
