Shana with her cousin Timmy

A small miracle that both of them stayed still long enough for a photo to be taken.
 

Shana's Christening Outfit

Shana was so content at her Christening she did not cry when the priest poured water over her head. Maybe it was because she was so proud of her outfit!

 

Shana's First Kimono

Shana brought the kimono her Aunt Yoshii made with her on her first trip to Ireland. For Christmas, in addition to lots of toys, Granny got a photographer to come to the house.

Still Swaddled

Shana still likes to be swaddled when she goes to bed. This will have to stop soon since she is getting too tall to fit into her Miracle Blanket. We really swear by this swaddle blanket, and we have not figured out what we are going to do without it.

Chubby legs

Shana's legs are getting chubby. They used to be little sticks not so long ago!!

Shana with Santa

Last Saturday we happened to see Santa at Tiny Tots while we were picking up a gift for a friend of ours. Shana had her first pictures taken with Santa.

13 pounder

Shana weighed 13 pounds on Monday! We do feel her weight when we carry her around the house.

She's been eating, sleeping and pooping very well, which must have all contributed to the good weight gain. She is also sleeping through the night (6-8 hours between feedings). Mommy and daddy are so proud of her.

Shana likes to stick her tongue out

Shana has learned to stick her tongue out. She loves doing that lately.

Shana rolls over (with a little help)

Who is snoring?

Head Strong

Shana can lift her head up pretty well now. She really likes tummy time, and she spends at least 30 minutes in her gym every day.

Smiles you shouldn't miss

Shana cannot seem to stop smiling lately. She smiles and laughs when she sees Mommy and Daddy.

Sitting Pretty

Shana is sitting all by herself on the couch. She is able to hold her head pretty well.
This was taken a week before her 3 month birthday.

My Cousin Yahiro

Shana's cousin Yahiro lives in Japan. She is 2 years old now. Shana has not seen her yet, but she will next summer.
