To the Fair

We took Alyssa to the fair for the first time last weekend. We had a great time... perfect weather! Allison came with us, but unfortunately I managed not to get any pics of her. We all enjoyed watching Alyssa check out the animals (and people, too... she's a real people watcher!) We had lots to eat including roasted corn, apples, fresh grape and apple cider, Mt. Olive pickles (which Alyssa loved!), fried pickles, peanuts, and my favorites, honey cotton candy and fried twinkies. Yum!

We got to see some of the characters from the PBS shows (including some stand-ups of Curious George, Elmo and other Sesame Street critters) and Alyssa thought it was great. I held a baby chicken for her to touch... she wasn't too sure about that! She was also quite fascinated by the cows. It is funny to think how gigantic they must look to a baby since they are bigger than us as adults. What a shock to see them up close!

Check out the pics!

Tutu Cute

I made Alyssa a tutu a couple of weeks ago... I had gotten the idea from various websites I found in my quest for crafty things to do this Fall. She wasn't too sure what she thought of it at first, but she really enjoys it now. She is becoming quite the little girly- girl... she loves to wear jewelry and carry purses and dance and sing into her microphone (or anything that looks like one). Check out the pics!

Also included are a couple of pics of her now curly- blonde hair. What a difference a year and a half makes! Her hair is curly like this in the humidity, on a windy day, or after a bath. I love it and am so jealous!
