Daddy’s Helper, Part 2

Lately, Alyssa seems to derive the most pleasure out of imitating people. She loves to mimic what we say (censorship is in full alert status) and is getting pretty good at copying whatever we do. She loves to get involved in chores and cooking. She has helped vacuum (even though she used to be afraid of it), remove spots from the carpet, wash the windows, dust, polish the tables, etc. I even caught her pretending to "paint" with a toy spatula for a paintbrush the other day since she saw us painting the dining room a couple of weeks ago. It's so cute to see how proud she is when she's helping! If this keeps up, though, she'll have to get an allowance before she turns 2!

Another Little Miracle!

Congratulations, Melissa and Rayford! Their first child, Michelle Cheyann was welcomed to the world this afternoon at 12:09. She weighed 7lbs and 12oz and was 20 inches long. Mom and the beautiful new baby are doing well... I stopped by to visit after work this afternoon and even got to hold the sweet little bundle! I got a bit itchy, if you catch my meaning!
