Alyssa's growing like a weed. She's just over 2 weeks old and is already mostly filling out her 3-6 month outfits. I noticed yesterday that she's starting to hold her bottle during feedings. Until yesterday, she only cried when she was hungry, but she's starting to fuss when she needs to be changed too. She's getting better at being either awake or asleep, not the comatose half wake, half sleep stuff she was doing at first. And she's getting on a schedule! She's learning and growing fast.
Mommy and daddy are learning fast too. We've made it through 3 baths, and she barely cried during number 3. We've figured out that it works best for everyone when daddy gets up with Alyssa at night and lets mommy sleep, and then mommy gets up with her early in the morning and lets daddy sleep; daddy's a night owl who likes to sleep in and mommy's an early-to-bed type that needs a good night's sleep. We make a good team. Overall, it's going very well and we're thoroughly enjoying her.
Grandma and Grandpa Maier live close by, so they get to see Alyssa all the time. Grandma and Grandpa Brimley and coming down from Utah to meet her right after Christmas. It's our year to go to Utah for Christmas, but we didn't think a 1-way, 12-hour drive was the best thing to do with a 2-week old baby. So Grandma and Grandma decided to come down and then we'll head up to Utah for spring break, which should be much more manageable.
