One of the best things about summer is being able to spend time with family. We (and by we I mean Alyssa and I.. since Jason has been working non stop moving into the new BA Automotive building) went to Bear Lake for a weekend and were able to spend time with Mauri and kids, Devin and Nichole and thier kids, and Grandma Jude. On our walk back from the lake up to the house (Jared and Sandy's summer home that is currently on the market if anyone's looking) Kyri fell asleep in her stroller. Mauri didn't have her strapped in and was worried she was going to fall out, so she had to tip back the stroller to keep her in. She had a stinky pull-up and was completely zonked out. Needless to say, it wasn't too fun for Mauri having to wake her up and bathe her, change her, feed her and get her ready to leave and go home. But we sure did have fun at the beach!!!

My favorite thing about eating chips and salsa with Kyri is watching her drink the salsa. She loved it! I thought it was hillarious! Mauri says Kyri pretty much loves any kind of sauce. As you can see by the following photos she definitely loves the salsa!!

"Say cheese, er uh I mean salsa!"

So Alyssa just had her 4 month appointment on Tuesday the 15th. She weighed in at 12 lbs. 3 oz. and was 24 1/2 inches long. She is tall and skinny. She was in the 60% for height, but only in the 20% for weight. Even though she is only 4 months old, it is hard to imagine life without her. Even though we were living it just a short while ago. She has forever changed our lives and we love her so much.

She loves her baths! Isn't she so cute in her little towel. Who doesn't love a clean baby?


We started trying to feed her rice cereal, and boy does she hate it!! She spits the majority of it out, and pulls horrible faces and even gags. I've been fearful that she might even throw up. Luckily is hasn't come to that, and hopefully after a few more tries, she'll get used to it, and maybe even start liking it?!?!? I don't know... we can only hope!

We got her a little jumper. She thinks she is so big! She just barely got to the point where her little toes are touching the ground. She hasn't quite got the jumping thing down yet, but she loves all the toys on it.

Now that she's eating, we got her a bumbo chair. She loves being able to sit up on her own! She's getting so big!!!

What an adorable little girl!
