Laney girl,

Your mommy and daddy are so impressed at the little girl you have become. We have watched you blossom into a happy, social baby! In just these past short 6 months you have achieved so much!

You are now "commando crawling" and rolling everywhere...if you want something you go after it, you kick those little feet and shoot yourself forward or scoot on your elbows to get it!

You know what your food is and your mouth is wide open from the time I get it out of the cabinet to the time I put the spoon in your mouth, you can even feed yourself, you are not as neat as mommy is but you achieve what you want! If I pause at all and you don't have food in your mouth at all times you start to fuss...Your Grammie says you get that from your daddy's side, they sure do love their food!

Here, you see mommy with the food! I haven't even put you in your chair yet! You love your jumperoo and jump and swing every time you are in it with a huge smile on your face!You looooove your veggie tales, I have tried putting on other things to stimulate you(like baby einstein...) and you are not interested in the least. You watch veggie tales until the ending credits...then fuss, until I start it over or start a new one.Your eyes are stiiiiiilll blue, just like your daddy and you have your daddy's profile. Lets just face it, you look like just like your daddy!!You are also quite the drama queen, I have been coughing with a cold the past couple of weeks and just the other day you started "fake" coughing just for attention, just ask your Mama K, she was on the phone with me and heard the whole thing. Just as soon as I looked at you, you stopped and gave me this huge grin. I could not help but laugh! I guess you get that from me, your mommy can be a drama queen at times!!

We love you sooooo much baby girl and can't wait to see what is in store the next 6 months!

Love,
your mommy and daddy!

P.S. You are finally wearing 3-6 month clothes!

Laney's first mess!

The past couple of weeks Laney has been rolling all over the place and finding all kinds of things to get her hands on.

Laney always has play time in the morning on the floor in the living room while I am getting ready for the day. She is always in my sights and I can see what she is doing at all times, but this particular morning I had some laundry that needed to be folded. I walked out of the room, went and got the laundry out of the dryer and came back to find this....we are talking 45 seconds to 1 minute here people....
Daddy says she has good taste though!!!

Pumpkin Patch ( long overdue)

We took Laney to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago when it first opened and I am just now getting pics up...At this age she is very easily distracted and it was extremely hard to get her attention, but we were able to catch some great pics none the less. Enjoy!Mommy and baby girl!

Ummm mom, what am I supposed to do with this...
Ohhhh pretty flower....I have got my eye on you scarecrow....Precious!
Beautiful blue eyed baby girl!!!

5 Months!

I am a little late posting this seeing as Laney was 5 months old on the 16th, but better late than never...

Laney you are growing up so much and your daddy and I are just amazed at the little person you have become...

You are now rolling all over the place, I actually found you under the kitchen table the other day after just going to the bathroom...

Everything goes in your mouth, and if I am holding it you want it. You love sending random text messages from mommy's i-phone while she is typing.

You are now talking up a storm and wanting all the attention!



You love hanging with your daddy while he is playing halo.



and you are still in 0-3 months clothes....but have the cutest rolls ever!

Laney we love you more than anything and are so happy you are in our lives! What would we do without you?

Happy 5 months baby girl!!!

New Look!!

Thanks to Sharon who posted a blog about a new site that she found called scrapblog in which you can go and create a digital scrapbook and post the pages as your new header, I have found my new hobby. I am not very computer literate but with the help of my hubby I have figured it out. It is still a work in progress but as I get more time to play around with it I should be updating my header soon! For now, I hope you enjoy my work in progress! Thanks Sharon!! I am also wanting ideas for a new catchy blog name, if you have an idea shoot me a comment.

Updating!

It has been a while since my last post, mainly because I have to fight my hubby for the computer. If you have taken a look at his blog lately you can see that he is quite the blogger! I have wanted several times to blog about the topics he has blogged about but just could not find the words. He says everything I have wanted to say and what America needs to hear. We have become quite the political family and are very concerned with the direction this country is headed in. As you can see we are rasin' Laney right!!!

Now on to what you are really here for:
Laney is just growing up so fast and is becoming quite the social butterfly. It always takes us forever to get out of church because everyone wants to see that beautiful smile of hers. She is especially fond of the "blue haired" ladies, maybe its the wrinkles!!
At her four month check up the doctor suggested we start solid foods. She was in the 60th percentile at 2 months and has dropped down to the 10-15th percentile. I was already somewhat concered since she is still in newborn clothes(some 3 month). He said that she is doing just fine as a breastfed baby and did not think I should supplement with formula at all. He just wanted her to have the extra calories that rice and foods can give. So we started on the wild adventure of feeding a 4 month old. Rice was a success and she seemed to really like it. Oatmeal was not a success as you can see. We just love her face in this picture!


Next was sweet potatoes which was another success and then green beans is what we are trying now. I think green beans is by far the favorite.

She even managed to steal the spoon from me! Silly girl!!

Well its getting late and blogspot is not cooperating very well for me tonight...maybe its just my inexperience. These will have to do for now.
P.S...My parents and little sis came into town to see Laney(not us) and we put them to work. We are in the process of trying to sell our house and we decided it needed some curb appeal. If you would like to see before and after pics, please refer to my hubby's blog as he has beaten me to the punch and blogged about it! Enjoy!!!
