(I love that it looks like Lyssa is giving me thumbs up in this photo! She could be a policital candidate! She'll lower your taxes, save the economy, and "win" the war in Iraq all in one naps time! Lyssa for President anyone?)
It seems like my sweet little Lyssa is learning and growing crazy fast! I know that babies are always learning, but I guess lately it's just more apparent because it's stuff we can hear and see her doing. She went in for her 9 month check up a few weeks ago. She weighed in at 19 lbs and 7 oz. (60%), height 27 3/4 (60%), and head circumference of 17 1/8 (40%... amazing considering Alec's almost always been above the 75%). She's a growing, healthy baby! She was happy as ever until the doctor tried to look in her ears. For some reason she has always been bothered by getting her ears checked. She quickly got her flu shot and that sent her through the roof. She was REALLY MAD so it was a good thing her favorite guy in the whole wide world was there to love on her after wards.
She really is turning into a Daddy's girl! In fact in the last few weeks she's started saying "da da!" (We've only heard a glimmer of "ma ma" once or twice.) Every time she sees him she gets really excited. She loves playing with him on the floor and almost always reaches for him first if he's around to hold. 
The kiddos have been getting along pretty well lately, and are learning to share and interact more and more each day! Alec is learning that Lyssa's a sly one and as soon as he puts a toy down she speed army crawls over to get that toy. (We're working on finding toys to trade rather than yanking them out of her hands...)
Speaking of Lyssa's speedy army crawling, I was talking with a friend the other day about Lyssa and she brought up the idea that Lyssa's fast enough on her tummy that she may never find the need to crawl conventionally. I was starting to think the same thing until Nick got her to do it last night! The video is kind of dark, but I was so excited that I didn't want to put the camera down to go turn more lights on... sorry!

Now if only big brother, Alec, would stop pushing her back down every time she gets up on her knees and tries to crawl! (Perhaps he knows nothing is safe once she's crawling around the house) :-)

If I were Alec I would be afraid of her crawling, too! Way to go, Elyssa!
I love Alec's cheers in the background.
Lyssa's got it all--great looks, winning ways, and promises all in one nap--and now she's crawling, too.
I want to change my vote!
How adorble! Carter and Alec remind me of each other except Alec seems to be nicer...Carter has just begun to body slam Benton when I am not watching. Any ideas on how to get that to stop?
Way to go Lyssa... what a girl!
