I told you...I DON'T WANT TO NAP!

So, here we are a week into our "sleep training" with our stubborn girl. And no real nap has been taken. She can do it- she is an awesome night sleeper! We will keep trying!

Laney has had a fun start to fall with some beautiful days for walks, swings and playing outside. We had a fun trip to the Como Zoo with Reelika and her daughter Ava and Yarely and her daughter Gisele (friends from work). Laney had a great time playing with the other babies!

I am still adjusting to working a few nights a week. Marcus really enjoys his nights with Laney and he sends me photo updates and text messages letting me know that they are having fun! Laney is starting to play with so many things and really likes seeing photos of herself. She loves to laugh and "talk". She really likes to eat, too. While I was at Super Target, I strayed from Laney's mostly organic baby food when I saw a Gerber Macaroni and Cheese baby food. She (of course) loved it! I (of course) mixed it with an organic chicken and veggie! Laney has also taken to her sippy cup and the big news is NO MORE NUK! We got rid of her pacifier last week and have not looked back!

Next week we will go to the pumpkin patch and you will have to wait to see what her Halloween costume is: ) Happy Fall!!!

I'm getting soooo big!

Laney has been a busy little girl these last few weeks of summer. She has been swimming a few more times at great-grandma Zoe's, helped host a golden birthday party for cousin Ashley (she was 9 on 9-9-09!) been to lake Nokomis several times and played with both granny and grandma Hubers! Laney is sitting up so big and also eating her toes. She loves to splash in the tub and pool! She has also been successful in "petting" Lucy the cat... it still makes us nervous, but Lucy seems to tolerate it well- so far!

Laney is looking forward to Auntie Jill babysitting on Tuesday! We are so thankful to our families for helping out while I work. With the fall closing in on us, we are getting excited for the next few milestones for our girl- crawling, teeth, hopefully more hair and more foods to try. As everyone told us, it really does go so fast!
