Thanksgiving and other updates

I guess it's been almost a month since the last post.. time certainly flies with a toddler in the house! Alyssa FINALLY started getting her front teeth, and is on the verge of walking. Just today, she let go of the couch and turned towards us when she was playing. Luckily she did that right after Michael got home from work, so he got to see it as well.

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun.. my (Rebecca's) parents came into town for the week. We had a small Thanksgiving celebration here in Camas. The day after Thanksgiving, we headed up to Seattle so that my mom and dad could attend the wedding of a good friend of theirs. Being in one room all together (Alyssa, Michael and I) was a little rough, but she got used to it and slept much better the second night there. Seattle is a really neat city, and it turns out that Rebecca has a friend from High School that she reconnected with while there. So I think we will be traveling up there again in the not too distant future.

Alyssa has started getting pretty good with the sign language. It's nice to know what she is thinking about, or when she is hungry. And it's neat to realize how much she understands! Our fantastic nanny works with her on her signing as well, and Alyssa is up to 4 signs; milk, more (which she also uses for food), light and please. She now says "hi" all day long, as well as "Hi daddy" and "Hi doggie".

We will update with a couple of videos when blogger is not acting funny..
