Our 3^rd Date Night

 Chad and I had a romantic dinner cruise aboard the Portland Spirit yacht tonight.  The weather held out and it didn’t rain.  Delicious food and lovely sights along the way.  Alana was well entertained and cared for by her Grammy and Papa as well as many other guests!

Movie Night with Alana

So we decided to test something out this weekend.  We took Alana to the movies!  We went to Bridgeport in Tualatin, OR to the Regal Cinemas.  We saw “How to Train Your Dragon” while she slept in her car seat next to us.  Chad had to stick his finger in her mouth a few times but she was quiet and well behaved! We will have to do a late night movie again soon!

 

2 Month Checkup

So Alana is two months old today!  She had her pediatrician checkup at 2:00pm.  She is growing well and weighs 7 lbs 13 oz, is 22 inches long, and has a head circumference of 36 cm.  I can definitely see and feel her getting chunkier as I am holding her.  She also received her two month shots at her appointment as well. 

  DTaP: Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine

  Hib: Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine

  IPV: Inactivated poliovirus vaccine

  Hep B: Hepatitis B vaccine (HBV)

  PCV: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

                                

She was so brave, getting three shots in one thigh and two in the other.  She only cried during the shots for 1-2 minutes, but quickly calmed down with a cuddle.  I’m proud of myself too for the fact that I didn’t start crying seeing her get her shots! She slept for a long time after her shots and didn’t even have “fussy time” like we call it from 6pm-9pm like she normally does.  Her next checkup is at 4 months of age.

Alana Rolled Over!

Rolling Over

So today Alana rolled over when she was playing on her colorful Care Bear blanket that Grammy Sue made  for her!  She rolled from her tummy onto her back 3 times!  We are still working on going from back to front...but I'm sure that with enough floor time she will be doing that in no time!  She is getting soooo strong!
