2 Months Old Already!!

Alia had her 2 month check up on Friday. It is hard to believe that she is already two months old. Time really is flying by! Alia's pediatrician gave us a good report and said that Alia looks healthy and happy. We were very excited and curious to get her newest measurements ...

11 pounds, 14.5 ounces (80 percentile)
24 inches long (96 percentile)

What a big girl!!

The most traumatizing part of the visit for all three of us was when Alia had to get her shots. She had to get a total of three shots and she was NOT happy about it. Her big, giant tears nearly broke our hearts. There was lots of cuddling for the next 24 hours! I think it might have been harder on Mommy and Daddy that it was on Alia :-)

The newest, adorable thing that Alia is doing right now is "talking". She has found out that she has a voice and is telling us wonderful stories all the time now. Her little coos and babbles just melt us ... especially when it is combined with her big toothless grin!

Play Time!

Out for a walk on a nice day!

A busy little girl!

February has already been a very busy month. Here are some pictures to keep you up to date with what is going on in our neck of the woods!

Our first family photo where the mommy doesn't look like she was just in labor for two days (oh, yeah, I was!).

Jason and I getting ready to go out on our first official "date" since Alia was born. Uncle Mark and Nana babysit for us while we went out for an early Valentine's Day dinner to Paley's Place in downtown Portland. We had a great time and the food was amazing!

Nana, Jason and Alia hanging out on Nana's birthday!


Alia and I all dressed up to go to my friend Tracy's baby shower. Alia ended up sleeping through most of the activities, but she sure did look cute!

Play Time for Alia

Alia is growing up and changing so fast! Here is a little video clip of her enjoying her play mat that she got from Uncle Mark (aka. Uncle Monkey), Aunt Kelly and cousin Wyatt. This was the longest that she had ever played happily on it! She is starting to smile a ton now. It is so awesome!
