Baby's Best Friend

Alyssa has become very fond of Ernie. She smiles as soon as she sees her furry friend in the mornings. Sometimes she even waves at him! I have to assume that Ernie looks like a goofy cartoon character to her because she thinks he's so funny. He can just sneeze, cough (yes, he coughs), whine, etc., and she'll bust out laughing. Ernie enjoys her company as well as long as she doesn't pull his hair.

Link to More Photos

I added a link to the right side of this page for my SmugMug web page. From the SmugMug page, you can view and order photos. Since it has become cumbersome for me to print photos for family and friends, I decided to upload to SmugMug so everyone has access to view and choose their favorites.

Happy viewing!

8 Months

Alyssa turned 8 months old last week. She's been crawling and pulling herself up for about a month now. She loves to explore the world. She also loves to honk her daddy's nose!

Mother's Day Surprise

Todd, Alyssa, and I went to Ohio to spend my first Mother's Day with my mom. We had a nice weekend. Todd planted a garden for me for Mother's Day. He planted tomatoes, peppers, and herbs near our enormous Rubarb plant. Ernie (pictured above) is responsible for keeping the critters from eating the plants. Todd also made a garden for my mom when we were visiting!
