Happy Birthday Alyssa!!

At 2 p.m. on April 2nd, 2007 my sweet Allie girl was born. I was 39 weeks and change, went to the hospital on that Monday morning for induction....was soooo ready to be done being pregnant. I had a very easy labor and delivery and was so excited to meet my sweet girl. Our family was ecstatic as well. She looked just like my firstborn, Alexis, and her daddy. She had a strong cry and was an excellent nurser...so good that she nursed until 17 months! She has always had a very strong personality and has always been adventurous. She started talking very early, earlier than my other girls. She knows so many words it is crazy! '

From the time she learned to walk, she started climbing. She loved climbing on my table and dancing. :) She is still a climber...just the other day she climbed and opened a bunch of girl scout cookie boxes that were not ours!!

She is so sweet and cuddly and loves her momma...and her Pop. She is definitely a Pop's girl and even says she misses him when it has been a while in between visits.

She could play outside from dawn to dusk. She loves her sisters to pieces and plays with them, especially Alivia, all the time.

I can't believe my baby girl is 2. Time flies so fast sometimes. She adds so much to our family. I was worried before having her that I would not be able to handle a 3rd, but she was such and easy adjustment.

Tomorrow is all about Allie. We are going to play and make a cake together, have her favorite dinner, open presents... just have a fun time. Her real party is going to be on Easter with our families.
So happy birthday Allie! We love you and are so glad God blessed us with you.
