Alyssa's getting big

I was trying to assemble Alyssa's birthday album, and I came across this picture. She's my beautiful, slimy, screaming baby.


I miss the new baby stage. I have to admit that Miss Alyssa has grown more attractive, though. I love her smiles. She finally calls me "Mama", and she says it a lot. She took three steps today before she fell down. This afternoon she stood at the front door saying "bah-bah" (bye-bye) and waving.
