Alana had a great weekend. On Friday she went to the museum w/her friend JT and got to see fish and a bunch of other "under the sea" exhibits. Friday night we went out to dinner to celebrate Pa's bday and Alana was the hit of the pub dancing away to the live guitar player. Saturday she got to spend some time with Uncle Kev and Aunt Kiki (Kinga) and then at night Uncle Michael and Aunt Kat watched Alana so mommy and daddy could go out to eat!

Very serious colorer

Alana just turned 18 months last week. She is 23.3lbs and 32 1/2in. She is growing so much. She has been loving the beach, actually liking the sand more and more. She loves to go in the pool and also loves to put her feet in the ocean. She is also the personal greeter at the beach sayin hi and bye to EVERYONE who passes by. She loves coloring and eating snacks at the table Aunt Cathy and Uncle Paul got her and playing with her water/sand table outside and riding her tricycle.

Loving the Summer!

Alana has had a busy summer so far. She has been to a few birthday parties and just last weekend had Uncle Michael and Aunt Kat's engagement party. She had a great time playing w/Amelia and all her aunts and uncles. Amelia and Alana loved playing the piano together. On Monday the double A's hit the beach and had a great time in the pool. Alana thought it was hysterical when Ama (Amelia) would jump in. Alana is starting to get more comfortable with the sand and is venturing out a little more. She is looking forward to spending the 4th of July weekend at the beach w/mom, dad and mimi.

Fun Filled Weekend!

Alana had a very big weekend. On saturday she had Jameson's birthday party. She played with all of her friends on the swingset and ran all over. On Sunday to celebrate father's day she took daddy out to breakfast w/mom and then went to mimi and papa's for dinner. She played w/nana and pop, uncle Michael and aunt Kat and uncle Kevin all afternoon. Her favorite was Bailey, she chased her all afternoon making barking noises at her.

Exciting News

As you can see Alana is very interested in the "big" news!

Loving life

We have had an exciting few weeks. Alana found out that she is going to be a big sister in December. She also went to the beach for the 1st time this summer. She hated the sand, we will see how long that lasts. Alana also had a birthday party at the House of Bounce today. She wasn't too sure if she liked it or not but still had a great time at Cole's party.
