It's TUMMY TIME!

Laney has really changed this week! She has really been squealing and talking up a storm. She has also started to notice her fingers and hands. She will suck on her fingers (not a lot of NUK action this last week) and watch her hands like they are a magical discovery! She also is trying out laying on her tummy- at first, it didn't go so well... then we tried the Baby Einstein DVDs and then the Boppy pillow and then we put the two together and... it worked! Here are a couple photos:::::

We also had a busy weekend- Marc was in Iowa golfing, so Laney and I had a girls weekend! We missed Daddy and we were really happy that he took Monday off the spend with us.

Sooo, have I mentioned that I'm not a fan of my car seat?

Laney has decided that she doesn't like car rides anymore. We used to count on her falling asleep in the car.. not anymore! Our weekend in Pease didn't go exactly as planned. She was really happy during Jamie and Ryan's ceremony- but the car ride to the reception was a loud one. I think she had had enough people and car seat action for the day and let me it be known. We left early (sorry everyone) and Laney got some much needed rest. She fell asleep in the car and slept from 9pm to 10am, waking only once to eat! Needless to say, there are no photos of the weekend!

I did get a chance to take a couple during the week though, so here they are!

Happy Easter!

Laney celebrated her very first Easter yesterday! She went to church (which she slept through)and went to Granny and Grandpa Nick's. It was a fun day with an Easter egg hunt, a first Easter basket, family and lots of food. Her cousin Ryan (who is almost 1 already!) wanted to trade Nuks (blue for pink) and gets pretty jealous when his mommy holds Laney! We missed Uncle Jon and Aunt Jessie but will make up for it when they help with some landscaping duty in a few weeks!

We are gearing up for Aunt Jamie's wedding this coming weekend. It will be a busy weekend and Laney will meet lots of family and get to see Grandpa and Grandma Hubers again! The time goes so fast! Enjoy some photos!!

9 weeks ago....

Laney went to the doctor for her 2 month check up.... which means she got 3 shots in her thighs and had to drink some gross vaccination, too! She screamed and I cried- good thing Daddy was there to hold it all together! She was 9 lbs even and we are still not believing how fast she grows! I still look at outfits and think that they are going to be too big, but they always fit! We had it pretty easy last week- we are all finally over our colds.

Saturday night was a big night- I went to Aunt Jill's for Aunt Jamie's bachelorette party and Laney and Dad stayed home and watched the Final Four! It went really well, except that I really missed my girl... Laney made up for it though- by waking up a couple extra times to eat! Busy weeks ahead; with Easter and Jamie's wedding.. Lots of photos to come......

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!
