Ally's First Auburn Game

Today Matt, Ally & I watched the Auburn Women's Basketball team play University of Tennessee on TV. We dressed up Ally in her cute Auburn cheerleader outfit and she was not too happy about it. We managed to get some good shots of her, but for the most part she did not like being dressed in it. She is just like her mommy and does not like wearing dresses! She was interested in the game because one of the best players for Auburn is named Alli. In case you didn't know Auburn did win the game but Ally was sleeping at the end of the game. As soon as the game was over I took the outfit off of her and put on something more comfortable for her and she was much happier!

Ally can hear!!

Ally went to the ENT doctor yesterday and she passed her hearing test with a perfect score on both ears! We were pretty confident that she could hear since she jumps when Maya barks or when daddy yells at Auburn when they play basketball, but it was still a weight lifted off of our shoulders. Ally is going to wish she couldn't hear when she hears daddy yelling at Auburn when they play football this year....especially if their season is like last years!!

Ally's 1 Month Doctor Appointment

Ally had her 1 month checkup today and it went very good. She now weighs 8 lbs, 9 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. She is in the 25th percentile for height and weight but the doctor was happy with that. Ally was not very happy at the doctor today when she had to wait almost 20 minutes for the doctor to come in and see her. To top it off she had to have a TSH Test which is a prick in the heel of her foot. Needless to say, she was not a happy camper!

On Wednesday we go to the ENT doctor to have her hearing test done since she failed both hearing screenings at the hospital. We are pretty confident that her hearing is fine but since she failed them we want to make sure.

Ally's 1st road trip to see her grandparents

We decided to go to Enterprise this weekend to see Grandma and Grandpa. Ally did so well in the car on the way there and coming back home. She slept the whole time. Maya actually did good in the car too. On Saturday Ally, Grandma and myself went to Dothan to go see a few friends. Everyone loved Ally and thought she was adorable. Grandma and Grandpa really enjoyed having Ally and they were nice enough to let Matt & I get some sleep and they kept Ally in their room Friday and Saturday night. Ally really enjoyed watching TV with her Grandpa and sitting on the couch with her Grandma.

Today Ally is 1 month old and we can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital having her and now she's already 1 month old today! She has her 1 month appointment tomorrow and we can't wait to see how much she weighs.

Ally Meets GG

Today Matt & I took Ally to meet her great grandmother, GG. She enjoyed being held and rocked by her. Matt & I also took some time to go shopping while Ann & GG watched Ally. It was nice to get out for a little bit by ourselves and I actually got to buy some clothes too! Ally survived being babysat by Grannie and GG. When we got back to pick her up she was sound asleep!

Yesterday Ally & I went to Child Protect to visit my co-workers. Ally really enjoyed seeing everyone and had fun being held by everyone.

Ally's 2 Week Dr. Appointment

Well Matt and I took Ally to her 2 week Dr. appointment hoping that she had put on a lot of weight and was back to her birth weight of 8 lbs. The nurse weighed her and she had only gained 1 ounce since her weigh in last Wednesday. She currently weighs 7 lbs 8.5 ounces. The doctor was a little concerned but told me to supplement her more with formula. I was a little bummed about this, but I realize the most important thing is Ally gaining weight so we are going to try giving her more formula and still adding breastfeeding in at times. So far we have fed her twice since we've been home from the doctor and both times she has drank 2 ounces of formula and fallen asleep. I think I could get use to this!! :) The doctor also removed her cord from her belly button b/c it was almost falling off. Her little belly button is so cute!

Other than that we are all doing great. We hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Ally's First Christmas

Ally enjoyed her first Christmas. She spent it with her mom and dad, grandparents (Beverly, Bob & Ann), and Aunt Tina & Uncle Robbie. Robbie & Tina's dog Beamer was also here for Christmas too and he loved Ally. Ally got a lot of nice things for Christmas from her family, but Matt & I got the best Christmas gift ever....a beautiful, healthy daughter!! We are so blessed!
