From Alyssa:
I’m supposed to go to daycare in a little over a week, but my parents discovered a few days ago that I hate bottles. Mom hasn’t been diligent about practicing bottles with me, so I don’t know what to do with them! They have been making me take a bottle a day for the past few days, and I am getting better, but I’ll only do it for Daddy or Grandma. I think I’ll be ready for daycare next week, but it was touch and go for a few days. Mom hates having to pump and would rather just nurse – it’s so much more convenient. I’m 11 weeks old tomorrow! I still don’t love tummy time. But I love baths, and I love to sleep. I also like to be on my back and look at toys and mobiles. Now that the weather is nice I also love to be outside. There is SO much to look at! I like stroller walks and cat napping in the stroller outside while my brothers play. I like to be part of the action! My big brother Preston is really good at entertaining me, and I give him BIG smiles. I love Luke, too, and he likes to give me kisses, but he mostly leaves me alone, which is just as well.
From Luke:
I’m big enough now that I can go on some adventures with Grandpa and Preston to watch trains! Today we went to Steamtown for the day and got to RIDE behing a steam locomotive TWO times. That was my favorite part. The whistles and noises of the engines are too scary for me, but I’m ok if I stay with Grandpa.
