Allie's World: January 2010

When the new year arrived, I kept telling myself I wanted to come up with something challenging for my "new year resolution". After thinking about it I came upon an idea that incorporated my newest love of my life, Allison, as well as a passion of mine, photography. The final verdict: One photo of Allie, from each day of the year. It is always good to keep practicing with the camera, and this way, 18 years from now we will have a wonderful album to look back at.

So here we go, one month down and 31 photos taken, edited, and posted on our family photo gallery website. Here is a link to the photos from January 2010 in the life of Allison: CLICK HERE FOR THE PHOTOS

2 Months Old... Already?

Time has been flying by lately. Allie is already 9 weeks old and had her two month "birthday" last Tuesday. It's amazing to look back on pictures of her when she was a newborn and see how much she's changed. She's put on over 5 pounds and has grown 4 or 5 inches. She's already stretching out her 6 month sleepers, yikes!

I'm not complaining though, because although my baby is getting bigger by the second, she's also getting much more interactive and fun. She'll smile for people and some toys, she'll watch someone cross a room, she enjoys watching TV (better break that habit soon!), she's starting doing a little cooing, and she can even hold some of her weight on her legs. She's also began sleeping through the night!! Nobody is happier about that than Mommy!

Here is a picture of her when she was less than a week old and a recent picture of her. Oh, where has the time gone?





She's also found a best friend. Her singing dog named Violet. Every time she even sees Violet she smiles. She'll do that for Mommy soon, right?

6 week pictures

I'm a bit late posting these pictures, but we've had a sick little baby. Turns out she has RSV and has quite the cough and wheeze. Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon.

Anyway, these pictures were taken a week ago. She was being quite the ham with her father!

Poor Baby :(

Well, the past few days have been rough in the Sheehan household. On Monday Allie got three vaccines and had a sore thigh for a couple days. Now, she's coughing and crying even during her sleep. Luckily she does not have a fever, but we're going to the doctors this afternoon to get checked out. Better safe than sorry. I hope my little baby starts feeling better soon.

Christmas 2009 Photo Gallery

So with the holidays behind us, and a weekend to catch up on things around the house, I figured I would take some time to post a few photos from our festivities. Click the image below to view the Christmas 2009 Gallery.

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2010! We spent News Years Eve at home and all of us were in bed by the time midnight struck. Allison woke me at 12:45, so she got to be the first one to be kissed in the new year (sorry Kevin). Then we spent New Years Day with all of the grandparents and had a great time.

This year will be full of firsts: first smile, first step, first word... first birthday! I'm so excited to watch my little one grow and I'm certain all the moments will be captured by her daddy. He has made the resolution to take at least one picture of her every day of the year.
