Our Happy/Smiling/Laughing Girl

For 2 days in a row, Alyssa has only taken one nap. The funny thing is that she still acts like she is ready for a nap, I put her in her crib, and for the next 2 hours she just plays. The great thing is she is happy when she is ready to get up.

This is her when I went to get her, happy and laughing. She just recently learned to pull her self up on things so I am not sure if that is what is keeping her from napping (maybe not though cause yesterday when I went in and peaked at her, she was laying on her back playing with her toes). She does think she is pretty big and has that look of accomplishment all the time now that she can crawl anywhere she wants, get from laying to sitting to laying all on her own, and pull her self up on things on her knees. I actually think it is more likely that she sleeps so much and so well at night so during the day doesn't need as much. Either way, as long as she is so happy, she can do what she wants. It is such a joy in my day to hear her happy sounds all the time.

While I am on the topic of happy, cute girls. Here is Kaitlyn on her new pony that the neighbors were getting rid of. She rides it all over, she gets quite the work out. She even packed her backpack and rode to North Carolina.

hahahhha! she rode to NC . . . that's hilarious. I can't believe Alyssa is taking only one nap. Macy still takes two and sometimes three. She's a sleepy head but I am not complaining!!!

What great pictures! The girls are beautiful! Tell Kaitlyn to ride back to CA and Emma will join her on her horse that a friend was getting rid of! What a funny coincidence! Emma didn't got to NC, but rather to the North Pole with a blanket sled attached and all her animals on board. Miss you all!

Tell Kaitlyn thanks for riding to NC and we sure do think she's a cutie. (and Alyssa is too too adorable peaking out of her crib - it was so fun to see her do that when I was there.)
