Alanna at 7 mos and darling

Alanna is the kind of baby you think should be on a Gerber commercial. She is just too cute for words. You want o hold her, squeeze her and kiss her all over. Here are a couple short videos of her on JUne 15th, 2011.

She is getting ready to crawl. But right now, she is at the "swinging stage".

Meagan told me that Alanna polished off almost two full jars of baby food for dinner and that she was more fond of vegetables than of fruit. She is her grandmother's grandaughter.

Alanna's Got the giggles

Alanna is coming up on 7 months pretty soon. What fun to be around her. Here, listen to a little of the giggles that she has!

I don't know if I like this new thing, swimming! Grampa. Are you sure you have a good hold on me?

Just gotta find the hole in this thing!

Alanna's On the Move

We visited Alanna this last weekend and got a few shots of her as she ate green peas (She loves them Big D) and then in her breast stroke stage. Thought you might enjoy some stills and one quick video.  Carol and Katherine

"Sleeping is what I do Best" Alanna

At 5 months, give or take, I am a great sleeper. I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I do some of my best sleeping in the car, in the high chair or in Mommy and Daddy's bed. Here I am at Grama's doing what I do best, sleeping and being loveable.

Katherine and Alanna at 4months

We had such fun with Alanna at our house. Katherine and the baby played with Club Penguin toys. Alanna seemed to really like the green one. I think both girls are espcecially beautiful. Don;t you agree??Our Katherine had her 13th birthday in January. She is becoming quite the young lady!

Baby Alanna learns to smile

Meagan and Mike came down with the flu and baby Alanna was under the weather also. Katherine and I spent a day at their house with her, then brought her home for two nights so that the kids could sleep through the night and hopefully recover quicker. While she was with us, she really perfected the "smile on cue" trick. We of course loved the results. Here they are.

Baby Alanna Goes Hunting

You wouldn't know this baby was supposed to be sick until you see her with the breathing treatment appliance.  She really did not like having that thing over her face. I had to put it on mine to make sure it wasn't too hot, too cold, to strong, to weak...I sound like Goldilocks and the Three Bears!!

In the Hunting scene, Katherine and I wanted to include the pink 22 rifle that Grampa Ed gave to her, but we were too skittish to have it out. Silly gooses we are.
