Alana speaks!

Alana has finally started to coo regularly.  She only knows how to make the "aaaah" sound right now.  So everything is "aaaaah" or "agaaaah" or "abaaaaa".  She doesn't get very loud when she does it... which makes me suspect that she is still a little shy about it. 

After many attempts, I was finally able to get it on video!

Also... some recent pictures

Alana also got her ears pierced on Friday, July 23.  The doctor asked me to mark on her ears where I wanted the piercing.  The doctor told me it was going to hurt... so I braced myself.  Alana's look was shock and surprise!  Then she cried and cried.  Poor baby.. but it only hurt that day.  The next day it seemed to be painfree.
