Four months and counting

It's time for an Alyssa update. I'd tell you how fast she's growing, but it makes me feel like a cereal commercial.

Here is the current resume:

Alyssa Leanne

Age: 4 months
Weight: 13 lb. 14 oz. (60%)
Height: 25" (75%)
Head Circumference: 42 cm (75%)
Center of gravity: round baby belly and thunder thighs. This girl has like 5 separate sets of rolls. She needs something to balance out the noggin.
Eyes: Still big and still blue. Some days they have a gray cast but it looks like they will stay blue.
Hair: Still long and still crazy (minus the bald spot from rubbing in her swing). Her hair sticks straight up like it's dealing with serious static electricity but it's totally natural. Also, looking more red everyday. Who knows!
Favorite time of day: 9 am. She is full of smiles and wants to play. Unfortunately the only people who get to see her during the happy time are Scotty and me. Sorry, Eric!
Worst time of day: anytime between her afternoon nap and bedtime. And 9pm-1amish if she's short on sleep.
Cartoon likeness: it's a toss up.

Favorite pastimes: sucking on anything she can get to her mouth. Drooling. Snuggling mama. Eating frequently. Diaper changes.
Least favorite things: drinking from a bottle. Being away from mom for more than 2 hours. Her car seat.
New tricks: rolling from back to front (but not the other way except on accident) but she's ambidextrous and flips over either shoulder. grabbing for toys and switching hands. Focusing her bug eyes on pictures and faces. An occasional giggle. Grabbing her feet. Sitting on her own for decent periods of time. Pushing her pacifier into her mouth instead of just pulling it out.
Biggest parenting success: getting her to sleep more than 3 hours at a time. Getting her to sleep in her crib.
Biggest parenting fail: hearing a "THUMP" and realizing she managed to roll herself off the hotel bed and onto the floor. She went from immobile to very mobile literally overnight.

We love you Lyssabelle!
