I am very pleased to say that little miss Alaina is a good sleeper. About a week and a half ago she started sleeping through the night. She has been sleeping anywhere from 7 to eleven hours in a row! What a good girl...now Mom gets some good sleep too. We feel very fortunate that she goes to bed so well. She will be eleven weeks old this Saturday.
The past couple of weekends, Aaron and I have been able to leave Alaina with our folks and go out for the evening. She has received a good report from all grandparents! - Although, I am sure they would still give her a good report if she was difficult - :)
A couple of pieces of exciting news in our family this week. First, Aaron has officially turned in his resignation at work and will be staying home with Alaina and going to school. He will be taking classes towards a degree in Elementary Physical Education. This will take at least 5 years and will allow him to be with Alaina during the day. Yippee! Second, we are an Auntie and Uncle again! My sister Mary and her husband Justin are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl - Evie Leilani. She was born today (12/16) and was 7lbs 9oz and 20 inches long. My parents are heading to Hawaii to meet her tomorrow! We are so happy for them and thankful that everyone is healthy (I might also mention that today is the one year anniversary of my grandmother's passing).
We are getting ready to celebrate Christmas with Aaron's family. All of his sisters and their families are coming into town and Alaina will get to meet many of them for the first time!
I have some new pictures to post soon.
Lots of Love - Renee
