Two months and a cold!

Minnesota "Spring" (aka winter) finally got the best of us! I started this mess with a cold, then Laney woke up on Tuesday with a really stuffy nose.. which led to the pediatrician. She is OK and just needs to get over it on her own time (easy for them to say.. we are nervous first-timers). She has slept a lot and still eats a lot- she can really chug a bottle! Then... Marcus got it- I hope it will be over soon. The best part about the pediatrician visit was Laney's weight is at 8lbs 12oz! A FULL 2 pounds!

I am also an official full time Mom now! I quit my job at Spalon Montage last week and will be with our girl full time. We are really excited! Now all we need is our warmer weather to come back, so we can have all our play-dates!

I'm groowing...

Laney is officially out of newborn diapers! We made this discovery last weekend, when my friend Sarah (and Laney's BFF Mia's mommy) reminded me that "no one likes to wear tight undies". We feel like we can actually see her growing before our eyes! Laney is also starting to "talk" to us and she is THIS close to a full on smile!

We made a family trip to Grandpa and Grandma Hubers in Pease, MN last weekend for Jamie's bridal shower. Laney slept most of the time and was so good on the car rides there and back! We have kept pretty busy this week: with visits to Granny's work and Grandpa Nick's store and meeting a new friend, Nash. He was born about a month after Laney and already outweighs her!! Although, she is gaining fast and now is about 8.5 lbs. We also went for a walk on Monday and enjoyed the spring weather- Laney likes to go for stroller rides! Happy Spring everyone!!!

Check Me Out!

Laney has been pretty busy(AGAIN)!

Last week, she visited her great-grandma Zoe and had a BOY over to visit her! Our friends, Ryan and Larissa, brought dinner over and their son Josiah was along for the ride. He is just over a month older than Laney and what a difference a month makes! WOW! We've found it's really helpful to be around other new parents.. that's how we found out about Laney's new swing. Check it out....

Laney also had her first trip (of many) to the Mall of America on Saturday! We are just resting today- we need it!

Do my cheeks look chubby, yet?

Laney is one month old today! This first month has been such a whirlwind. We are so lucky to have our sweet girl- she makes us smile and laugh everyday. She is tipping the scales at a little over 7 lbs and we know for sure that her lungs are healthy- what a screamer! Here are a couple photos of her first "outfit" and a bath time photo shoot!

3 weeks already?

We can't believe Laney is over 3 weeks old! She has had a busy couple weeks. Laney had her first Valentine's Day; mom and dad celebrated with a romantic date to Target! We went to Uncle Jon and Aunt Jessie's house to celebrate Granny's birthday on the 15th and Laney got to see her cousins Ashley, Maren and Ryan! Then last weekend we went to Marc's Aunt and Uncle's in Shoreview. Laney likes car rides- they seem to get her pretty sleepy. We think our families are starting to think we make up all this crying business!

We are getting anxious for warmer weather- walks with the stroller and trips to the park! Just a few more weeks....

Laney also likes the Baby Papasan that cousin Ryan let her borrow.. thanks Ry!!

Where is my button?

Laney's belly button is history! I was changing her diaper (imagine that?!) and didn't see her button... it was just hanging out in her sleeper. Just a little two week update and of course that called for a photo op! Thanks to Auntie Katie, Laney is getting a little better with her sleeping and feeding schedule.(Thanks for all the advice Kate)

Laney has arrived!

Laney Noelle Hubers was born on February 1st, 2009 at 4:29pm. She weighed 6lbs 12oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. She has been giving Marcus and I a run for our money with the crying and keeping us up at all hours- but we wouldn't change anything! We are so happy and thankful for our families- we couldn't have made it through these last two weeks without you!
