A quiet week and almost rolling over!




Laney is so close to rolling over! She did do it one time with the help of a hill, but not quite on her own yet. She has been eating some solid foods, bananas are a favorite right now! Her tooth is still in the works and she puts everything in her mouth these days- even soapy washcloths from her bath!


We enjoyed a quick trip to the MN Zoo with grandpa and grandma Hubers last weekend, with another stroll through the butterfly garden and we saw the bears again. We also made a trip to Nordstroms and got Laney a new winter coat. We have spent some time at Granny and grandpa Nick's this week and Laney loves to hang out on their deck and watch the trees and birds. We had a pizza party at aunt Katie's with cousins Ashley, Maren and Ryan tonight. Marcus and I love it, because not only do we get to see our family, but the kids really tire Laney out! Maren told me tonight that Laney is "like a miniature person, but a giant to dolls"... what a sweet, sweet goofball!


We are looking forward to a weekend away with my family up in Brainerd- we leave on Friday. My best friend Paula will be visiting for a week and a half, too. I can't wait to see her kids, Liam and Lucy! They will be meeting Laney for the first time.


I can't believe that it is almost August and Laney will be 6 months old!!!

Catch Up!!











Sorry, we (I) took a week off.... Marcus and I joined Lifetime Fitness last week and it has taken up some of the little free time I actually have.




On the Laney front, last week she decided that her old routine was over and wanted to start waking up at 4am, 430am and then the kicker was 330am. She has since gone back the the usual 6-630 am wake up times and we are REALLY happy about that!




We had our first sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Hubers for the 4Th of July and it went well. Laney had a great time seeing all of her aunts and uncles that she doesn't get to see very often. She slept through the backyard fireworks in the neighborhood and even had a festive outfit to wear (from Granny, of course).




Laney is getting so strong and we are noticing that she can grasp little things, push way up on her arms when she is on her tummy and almost roll over. She can also almost put her NUK back in after she pulls it out of her mouth.




We are using our new Zoo membership a lot and Laney is excited to take Grandma and Grandpa Hubers to the Zoo this weekend. I bet it's been a while since they have been there!!




Here are a few photos to enjoy!
