Memorial Weekend

We had a great Memorial Weekend! For the first part of the long weekend, we headed out to Possum Kingdom to spend time with our friends and Alyssa got to play with her friend Kaden.  The Wessel family bought Alyssa and Kaden a kiddie pool to play in but Alyssa was not to sure about it while Kaden was splashing away.  After Alyssa's long swim, she was ready for a nap in mommy's lap.  We finished up the weekend by running lots of errands before I have to return to work tomorrow.  It will be hard to go back but it will be great having grandma watch her.  Grandma and Alyssa will definitely be meeting me for lunch often.

Two-Month Pediatrician Appointment

Today, Alyssa had her two-month pediatrician appointment.  It was definitely a rough visit that required little Alyssa to get 5 shots.  She was not a fan at all and it made mom and dad very sad to see our little one cry in such pain. We had a bottle ready to go afterwards which helped to cheer her up.  Alyssa officially weighed in at 10lbs 3ozs and measured 22.5 inches long.  These measurements put her in the 50th percentile for height and 45th for weight.  Our little girl is getting bigger every day!

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a busy weekend to celebrate Kristin's first Mothers' Day.  Saturday morning we attended a NICU reunion to present the volunteer of the year award.  Afterwards, it was off to Mayfest with the rest of the Fort Worth community to enjoy the nice weather we got over the weekend.  That evening we decided to celebrate Mother's Day by fighting the crowd for dinner at Pappasito's.  It was good! Sunday we spent at Kristin's family's house with Alyssa being in a great mood after 6 consecutive hours of sleep the night before.  We hope the sleeping streak continues!!  Happy Mother's Day Kristin!
