Super Snuggles for Alana

We love our little baby girl!

Heavy Lifting

Someone has been building up those muscles!

So many milestones and only 3 1/2 months old!

This happy little girl has been sleeping through the night for almost a week now (with one dream feed around 10PM). For a baby that goes to bed at 6PM, that's a major accomplishment!

This is also the time that Alana first tried out an exersaucer - her face in the picture pretty much sums up how she feels about this new toy.

We also defeated cradle crap. It came on strong around 2 1/2 months of age, but with diligent efforts on Mommy's part over the past few weeks, it has not returned - whew!

Alana is officially out of size 2 diapers, as well. 

Last, but not least, Alana has started to grab her toes when playing under the play mat - before we know it, those toes will be in her mouth!

Super Henry!

 Hank has asked that we now call him Henry. Go Super Henry!

Alana's Three Months Old

 Alana is three months old! 

She weighs 12.6 pounds, eats every 3.5 hours, gets through most nights with just a dream feed 

(she still wakes up around 4am and self soothes until 6am nursing session),  

is starting to roll onto her side, and is really learning to enjoy cuddling! 

She's never without her lovie, aka "lambie." 

Of course, now she is aware of our beloved Radar, and Alana just loves him.

 Radar gives her lots of kisses and a warm, cozy spot to relax.

 Alana also gets lots of love from Aunt Rachel and Sierra - yay for the girls!

Most importantly, Alana loves snuggling with her big brother the best!

 Ah, three months old is a great age to be . . . 

Learning to Sleep Through the Night

Alana has been sleeping through the night with just a dream feed at least 3-4 times a week for the past few weeks (since 8 weeks). Looking forward to when it is every night!

Alana's Baby Naming

Alana had her baby naming at Congregation Beth Evergreen (CBE) today. Daddy held her up for all to see (like Simba in the Lion King). :-) 

 Rabbi Jamie said the prayers, unwraped Mommy's tallit and gave Alana her Hebrew name, Chava. Chava is Alana's paternal great grandmother's name. 

 Brian Zatzkin had the honor of holding Alana as we all wrapped her.

 Congratulations, Alana, on becoming a member of our Jewish community, and thank you, Brian for being part of this meaningful day!
