Here we are at the game - Go Boilers! Alyssa had fun pointing at everything she saw...

My first trip to Purdue!

We took Alyssa with us to the Purdue-Ball St game this weekend. She did really well and we were able to stay through the first half of the game. Before the game, we visited Mackey Arena...

Helping Dad

Alyssa was supervising Dad the other weekend while he put together a rocker for the porch...

I love my jumparoo

A few pictures from Alyssa in the jumparoo having a ball. She loves to bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce....

As a matter of fact...

Alyssa proudly wearing one of the t-shirts Lynn gave her on our trip to LA. It reads, "As a matter of fact the world does revolve around me" I think Mike and I would probably agree...

Where does the time go?

where does the time go? We've been busy again and I haven't posted lately. I'll get some up over the next few days, so check back! Hard to believe that Alyssa is 10 1/2 months old...where does the time go?

Just out for a drive...

Peek-a-boo

Alyssa's getting good at playing peek-a-boo...

playtime with Tigger

While visiting Lynn, she treated us to a trip to the Mattel toy store where Nick and Alyssa both got a bouncing Tigger and had a ball bouncing with them for the afternoon.

My first trip to the Pacific Ocean

The water was cold, so we just dipped Alyssa's feet in...

Fun with Mom and Dad

some cute pictures with mom and dad...

Aquarium of the Pacific

While we were in LA we drove down to Long Beach and visited the Aquarium of the Pacific for an afternoon... Alyssa enjoyed looking at the fish.

my new friend

Alyssa and Nick were buddies while we were visiting. They were always really interested in what the other one was doing.

playing with the whale pool

We spent part of our LA trip visiting with friends - Em's old roommate Lynn, her hubby Bill and their son Nick. We just happened to be there for Nick's 1st birthday party, so we got to join in on the celebration which included playing in the water in their backyard...

mini maestro in the making

Alyssa had a ball banging away at a baby piano at Gram's house...

A couple of cute pictures from before we left for the trip....

post to come

sorry - its been awhile since I posted pictures again. We were on vacation (to the LA area) and then have been busy trying to get caught up since then. We had a great time out there and the trip went really well with Alyssa..she travels well!
