Baby Like Beckham

Generally, I try to contain my gushing about Alyse, but we may have uncovered her talent a little early in life. Every time I watch this video I am more and more astonished...

It's a Girl!

We were so thrilled to find out we are having another little baby girl, and Alyse will have a little sister! Here are a few of the sonogram photos:


Little foot.


Again, definitely a girl.


You could almost swear she's posing for the camera.


Another nice capture of the face with her hand above her right eye.

We do have a name picked out, but you'll have to ask to find out what it is.

I know a girl, a girl called Party.

Here are a few select pictures from Alyse's big first birthday jamboree on Sunday, Feb. 11, 2007. If you'd like to see all pictures from this event, kindly follow this link to Alyse's Birthday set on Flickr!
