5 months!

The 5 month mark brought on a new trial in that Alison was sick for the first time. Unfortunately, Alison had a urinary tract infection. Luckily she is healing with antibiotic (even though the antibiotic brings on its own set of issues) and she is returning to her happy baby state quickly! Chuck and I are learning as we go but try to give her the best care possible.

Alison's version of rock and roll!

Alison rolled over on September 4th after we returned from Aundrea's 10 yr high school reunion. Here is my attempt at a video for viewing Alison's awesome rolling maneuver.

I thought the video camera was on for the first time but unfortunately it wasn't recording. Luckily she decided to roll again for the camera. Lately she has been rolling from her back to her stomach instead. Once she figures out how to keep on rolling, we might have a mobile baby girl!

(The sound is a little ahead of the picture at least on my computer so not sure how I messed that up but enjoy anyway!)

4 Months

Alison went for her 4 month visit last week. Slow and steady is the way we are growing! :) Stats:

24 1/2 " (48%)

11 lbs 15 oz (12%)

16 " head (38%)

Let's play dress-up

Alison is modeling clothes that Aundrea wore when Aundrea was a baby. This dress was one that Aundrea wore on her trip home from the hospital. She must have been swimming in it!
Alison tolerated the dress-up game.

This dress is a favorite of Alison's Gran and Grandpa.

And this outfit was made by Aundrea's Grammie. One was made for Corrine that matched it.

Alison might be ready to figure out a way to flee the dress-up session for now. There's sure to be more dress-up sessions in her future. She's a pro.

Mom put a flower on my head!

Alison celebrated her parents 5th Wedding Anniversary in style. :)

She may be concerned that her mom is trying to take so many pictures!

"I'll just look over here...."

Christening/Baptism

Alison's baptism was on July 10th. This was during the same time as Chuck's family's vacation to Missouri. We got together after mass for the event. Alison's Aunt Kelly, Uncle Luke, and Pat showed their support in the role of godparents. :)

Afterwards, we all went over to Chuck's parents house for food and fellowship. Alison had fun hanging out with lots of love.

3 months! Photo shoot time!

Alison likes to be on the move!
