August 2009 - 4 Months

We had Alissa's four month appointment on 8/14/09. The doctor was again pleased with how healthy and beautiful she is. He told me that she was “quite the chunk” because she weighs 14.44 lbs, which puts her at 69%. Sheis now 23.62 inches, which is 26%.

Mommy and Daddy love spending time with Alissa every evening, on the weekends, and holidays. We have already taken her swimming 3 times, she has been to the zoo twice, and she loves going on walks with mommy and daddy. Alissa has also discovered that she loves watching baby Einstein DVD’s, playing peak-a-boo with mommy, playing games with daddy, reading books, and playing with her toys.

Here is a couple of pictures of Alissa swimming with mommy, daddy, and mommy's best friend Gayle and her son Ian. These pictures were taken on August 2, 2011.

August 16, 2009 - This picture was taken on the same day that Alissa first rolled over on mommy and daddy's bed. Isn't this a cute picture of Alissa holding herself up. I just LOVE this little girl.

August 17, 2009 - We try to give Alissa "Tummy Time" as often as possible. This is Alissa's "Tummy Time" on mommy and daddy's bed. She doesn't always like "Tummy Time", but she is getting better at it.

Here are a couple of additional pictures of Alissa sitting in her Bumbo chair. The green outfit was a gift from the next door neighbors. The blue dress was a gift from Steve's Aunt Vera.
