Tummy Time and attempting to Roll over

Here are some recent videos we have taken of Lanie. As you can see she is getting very big and strong. She does great at holding her head up. All of a sudden this morning she decided she wanted to try to rollover. I couldn't believe it so I went running for the camera when I noticed she got up on her side. I know that chances are I will miss recording her first roll over, but I sure am going to try to capture the moment. I can't believe how fast she is progressing. I am truly cherishing every moment!!!!!

Week 10

Every morning Lanie shares with us her morning smiles.

Lanie's first sit in her bumbo. I can't believe she is big enough.

She really enjoys being able to look around.

Sunday afternoon nap with daddy.

Sweet baby.

Holding her head up high. She is so strong.

Lanie at 9 weeks

Here are just some pictures of Lanie we took recently. I haven't had much time to update the blog lately cause I started back to work this past week. It is going to be quite an adjustment. Lanie is growing and changing so much everyday. She has started really "talking" a lot. She smiles a lot more especially in the morning when she is getting up. That is one of my favorite times of the day. More updates and pictures soon.

Sleep

Sorry no pics this time, but I have to write about how proud I am of my little girl. She does sleep very well once we get her to sleep. Naps are generally not too bad but night time is not so good. It generally takes us an hour of crying to get her to go to sleep. Mind you she isn't just in her room alone crying for an hour but we are in and out of her room calming her down. It just takes an hour for her to actually fall asleep. Once she is asleep she sleeps till 2:00 and then to 6:00 every night/morning. She has put herself on that schedule (she must know her mommy likes schedules). I say all this to tell you that last night for the first time she went straight to sleep at 8:00 with only about 30 seconds of crying. We just couldn't believe it and frankly weren't sure what to do. We didn't know if she would awake in the night earlier than normal, but no she slept till 2:00. We will see if this trend continues tonight. Wish us luck!!!

Tummy time

Lanie really does enjoy her tummy time. Bart actually caught her pushing her lil bottom up with her legs and feet. She was actually scooting herself forward. I am not sure if this is normal for 7 week old babies or not but she seems awful strong to us. She is really good at holding her head up as well and has been from day 1.

Photo Op

Here are just some pictures we took one afternoon that we thought Lanie was looking pretty darn cute. She is 6 weeks old in these pictures. She is looking sideways in almost every one of the pictures because I couldn't get her to take her eyes away from the window. She really enjoys the light from the windows. She is generally a very happy baby however we have yet to get her to crack a smile. I can't wait!!

Taloga Baby Shower

The Paparazzi (sooo funny)

The Hostesses

The Cake

Beautiful Flowers and Yummy Strawberries

Last weekend we had a baby shower in my hometown of Taloga. We waited till after Lanie was born so everyone there would get a chance to meet her. It turned out great. As you can see from the first picture the poor baby didn't get any attention at all. She was soaking up all the attention for sure. We got a lot of good stuff and are so thankful. It was a good day for sure.
