More new pictures and a brief update

I posted some new pictures in Alana’s gallery that I hope everyone will enjoy. David is in New York this week so it has been hard to get time to post anything. Lanie is doing well. I can tell she misses her Daddy, as do I. Lanie is more and more alert all the time, and very interested in her surroundings. She will follow you with her eyes and stare intently at you when you hold her.

I will try and post more later, but I think I hear her calling me now!

One month checkup

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!

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:
