The Many Faces of Allison

Like her goofy parents, Ally is very animated, especially when she is talking. She can really work a crowd with her facial expressions.

From Bassinet to Crib

In this series of pictures, Allison is first seen in her new crib and very pleased to have found her favorite crazy giraffe to greet her. Prior to her crib she was in her bassinet where she would playfully attack her colorful and friendly giraffe on an hourly basis. However, she does not like her giraffe sessions to be interupted or you'll get the "glare."

Outdoorsy kinda gal

One of our favorite things to do as a family is to go hiking and be outside. Luckily Allison really loves being outdoors and it is the one thing that really calms her down during those fussy times!

Easter Sunday (2 months)

Easter Sunday was spent with both sides of the family where she met her cousin John, Great Aunt Jen, cousin Colleen, Great Aunt Katie and many others. Allison made a big lasting impression at the Sunday brunch with the Callaghans where she left behind a special present that her diapers could not contain. Our baby sure did deliver more than we thought she could that day!

Hana and Mike's 50th Birth Day Party

Allison took center stage at grandma and grandpa's 50th Birth day party. There were so many new faces to see and people to mingle with but Allison kept her party face and dazzled the crowd. She also took time out to indulge in her favorite pass time with grandma Hana as they exchanged "raspberries".

Sunday Dinners with the Callaghan Clan

In honor of Allison being born on Sunday, we always have dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Callaghan on Sundays. These evenings are always fun-filled and she even has her Great Grandma Anita there to cuddle her. At the end of the night she tries to sneak a sip of beer from daddy - proving she is clearly of Irish descent.

Baumgardner Clan

Aunt Jen came up to visit Allison for her 30th birth day. Unfortunately Allison could not go to the spa day we had for Aunt Jen but she did partake in some cake via breastmilk!

Newborn moments

Allison loves reading with mommy, cuddling with daddy, chatting with Curious George and napping frequently. She is a very calm and sweet baby. We are very blessed and fortunate to have her.

First Bath

Ally had her first bath and she loved the water. She bathed in a fancy pink bucket because she was too small for her real baby bath tub.

You gotta have friends

"Uncle Peter"and "Aunt Caren"come for a visit and are naturals with Allison.

More family

Allison is visited by her loving Aunt Enid and cousin Mallory. She is 6 weeks here and finally gaining more weight!

Home at last

After a week of being in the hospital, the Callaghans come home and enjoy being a family together. Allison's favorite past time is nursing and she always has the drunken "nursing smile" after a good feeding. CHEERS!!!
