I decided to staart a blog of my own where I can put down my thoughts or anything I want to share. I have Alana's blog where I put things about her, but didn't have a place to put things just about me, so here it is. I'm sure there will be a lot of things about Alana here too, but most of that will be on her blog at www.alanaalexander.org
Since I returned from Norway this past Thursday I have just been so drained. On the way to Norway the time difference didn't seem to hit me so hard, but it seems I am tired all the time now and have a hard time getting really good sleep. I only have two weeks until I go back to work, so I hope I get re-aclimated fast because I have so much to do between now and then.
Today, I took Alana to her 15 month check-up, and it went pretty well. I was concerned about her lack of interest in eating, but the doctor said it was normal and says this could last for quite some time, so not to worry. Alana got three shots and she was a trooper through it all, only crying for a few seconds after the shots were given. She is on track or ahead on all of her developmental goals. The one thing I am a little worried about is that the doctor wants to see Alana off of the bottle by 18 months. Since she stopped nursing last month, Alana seems more attached to her bottle. I am trying to switch her to using some sippy cup tops on her bottles but she just doesn't like them. Just guess I had to be consistent trying to get her to use them, but I just want to make sure she still gets the fluids she needs.
After her check-up and nap, we took a walk to the store. It was so hot! I don't know how much walking I am going to be able to do with her. We walked evey day in Norway, but I don't know if either of us can handle the heat here. And, of course, it doesn't help that there aren't sidewalks here in Trophy Club either! Oh well, such is life.
I guess that's enough rambling for now.
