Troy's Trip to Alaska

July 27th- August 7th, Troy was in Egegik, Alaska for a huge concrete job. It was soooo hard to be without him for so long, but at least I know I can survive! He can back with hundreds of beautiful pictures. I love this one where he drew in the sand for us! He may have been so far away, but he was still thinking of his little family at home. The sunsets are beautiful and apparently the place is swarming with bears! He came home with 25lbs. of the freshest salmon you could imagine and some mouth watering smoked salmon! Yummy!

~My Big Little Girl~


I swear Alyvia gets bigger everyday! She is doing so much these days. Sucking on her toes, rolling all around the house, holding grabbing and throwing things, talking up a storm!
She loves playing in her exersuacer and jumping up and down on mommy or daddy's lap. She also loves to get herself in the crawling position & rock back and forth. Usually this ends in a total face-plant, but she gets right back up. Her energy is endless and amazes me every day! It seems like she might be teething, so we have been putting ice cubes in her mesh thing. This usually makes her feel better and entertains her for a while. She also loves to read books with mommy & daddy and can hold the book all by herself! Tonight we tried solids for the 1st time. We thought peaches might be yummy, but Alyvia wasn't very impressed with the whole situation. She made the most disgusted face and spit out every bite! Soon, we will be going to her 4 month check up (2 weeks late) and we will finally find out how big she really is! Ahh I'm so in love with this little baby of mine!

Milestones *Part 3*


Alyvia is getting big so fast! She's now rolling over from back to tummy and vice-versa! She loves to play with her toys and of course wants to put everything in her mouth! Yesterday, Alyvia was sitting on my lap when the kitty came and sat with us. She grabbed her with both hands and ripped big chunks out of the kitty's hair! Poor Kitten, but she was good, didn't even flinch. Now her feet touch the bottom of her exersauser when 2 weeks ago she couldn't even reach! What a perfect baby! She is even making new sounds recently! "Mmmmmm..." (which I'm currently trying to push towards "Mama") LOL!

Milestones *Part 2*

Alyvia is reaching for things and holding toys on her own! My earrings and my hair are at the top of her favorites list, but toys are fun sometimes, too!
















Beauty










Through all the messy spit-ups, burps, poopy diapers, snotty noses, and changing table accidents...I love her more than anything in the whole world! I'm so blessed to have such a beautiful baby girl. I love being her mommy!
