Halloween 2014

 Ninja Henry got an early jump on the day, trick or treating started at 3PM near our local stores.

By the time we were done, his bucket was pretty heavy.

As we waited for evening to come for the second round of trick or treating, Groucho and Super Baby Alana smiled for pics.

 Happy Halloween!

Alana is 4 months old

Look who's 4 months old?

Let's see what little Alana is up to . . .

1. Sleeping - yes, she sleeps through the night from 6PM-6AM with one dream feed at 10PM

2. Nursing - Alana nurses approximately 5 times a day, in 4 hour cycles. 

She is a very efficient nurser and a very big burper/spitter upper! In fact, she sleeps in a rocker to help with the reflux. She has yet to sleep in a crib.

3. Growing - she weighs 14 lbs 1oz (50-75th%) and is 25.5 inches long (90th%)

Cousins' Annual Halloween Get Together

Happy Halloween! Let's get this Cousins' party started on a healthy note . . . 

After some snacking, all the kids gathered round Grandpa Eli for some costume picture fun.

 Superbaby Alana wasn't quite sure what to think about all the commotion, but she held her own.

 Big brother, Henry (Hank is going by his full name now), 

carved his pumpkin all by himself this year.

 After carving, the kids worked up an appetite. Time to decorate cookies!

 After dessert, it was back outside for some last minute family pictures with Grandpa. 

Ladies first . . . 

 And then all of the grandchildren.

 Even Mommy got a pic with Alana.

 Love our family howliday tradition.

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!
