This is an actual, unretouched photo of Alana’s picture towering above Times Square in New York City!
The story is that Time Magazine is running a promotion for their “Person Of The Year” award, and allows anyone to submit a photo to be displayed on the big-screen. If they use your photo (they use most of them), they’ll send you a snapshot of it as it is displayed in New York.
Here’s the official link, to see the time/date it was displayed:

How’s that for neat?
Alana had her one month checkup, with her new pediatrician.
She’s gained almost 2 full pounds (she weighed in at 9lbs (4082 grams)), and 2 full inches longer (now a whopping 21″ (53 cm)). Her head circumference measured 15″ – all told, this put her in the 50th percentile for weight, 50th percentile for length, and between 90th and 95th percentile for head circumference… must be a big brain in there!
Her pediatrician seemed pleased with her growth and overall health.
She also got her first shot today. She was none-too-pleased, but recovered quickly. We go back in a month for the next round of vaccinations, 4 in all – the doctor said he’d give her Tylenol before they do them… I’m guessing she’ll be less than pleased at these shots as well.
Welcome to Alana’s blog! This is where we’ll post announcements of new photos in the gallery, stories, news, or other information. Check back often for updates!
If this is your first time here, I’ll repost Alana’s vital stats from her first (and not very professional) webpage:
