4 months

Lanie turned 4 months this day. We happened to be going to Stillwater for my Softball Reunion weekend. So of course she had to have an OSU cheerleader outfit. It was a great weekend to catch up with some old friends from college. We were at the football game when we got a call that my dad just had a heart attack. He is doing so much better now, but it was quite a weekend to say the least. At the 4 month appointment, Lanie was 75% in height, 65% in weight, and 45% in head circumference. I am hoping that she keeps some of Bart's height. Although at the moment she has my short legs. She is growing at such a rapid rate I can't hardly stand it!!!

Sunday Morning

I just had to snap some pics of Lanie this Sunday morning on the way to church cause I thought she looked super cute. Thanks Aunt Tobi for the outfit.

Lil Sprouts

Some of my good friends are starting a business called Lil Sprouts. They are selling all sorts of baby items from bows, burp clothes, paci clips, and Halloween costumes. Check out their blog at http://lilsprouts226.blogspot.com/. Lanie got to model some of her items. It was so fun to play dress up. Here is just a quick picture I took that day, but the pictures on their blog is much better.

First Pony Tail

Lanie's hair is long enough to get into a pony tail now. I think it makes her look like such a big girl. If we don't have her hair up it is so long it gets in her eyes. I refuse to cut her hair!!

First College Game Day

As you can see Lanie had quite the first college game day outfit. Bart is an OU fan so Lanie's Grammy Karen got her this bib. Of course I had to add a OSU item to make it all fair. She is going to be one confused little girl growing up!

Labor Day weekend

Me and Daddy

I'm actually looking at the camera!!

The hickey I gave myself by sucking on my yummy wrist during the night.

Enjoying my bottle before bed. I have to hold on to it so mommy doesn't take it away cause she thinks I need to burp. Someone should tell her I am too big to burp anyways.

Before: Ah finally asleep for the night.

After: I managed to get out of my swaddle blanket and turn side ways in my crib.
(This was also the night she sucked the hickey on her wrist...geez)
All in a nights rest!!

My first college football game day. As you can see I am a little confused
(well maybe my Daddy is anyways hehehe)

Isn't Lanie getting so big?? She is so much fun to interact with at this age. She loves to smile and crack up at us. We had a four day weekend for Labor day so you better believe we took full advantage of spending quality time with Lanie. We had so much fun doing nothing but just hanging around the house. Bart and I actually got to watch 2 movies during Lanie's naps. Of course it took us 4-5 hours to watch a 2 hour movie but we did manage to finish them. We also spent all day Saturday watching football which is Bart's favorite thing to do. Lanie decided that she was ready to start rolling over on the floor. She can get from her back to her stomach but can't quite get her arm out from under her so that makes her upset. Last night she was like a rolling pin rolling from one side to the other trying to get on her stomach. She finally settled for her back which made Mommy happy!

Day of Firsts

Saturday (8/29/09) was a day of Firsts for Lanie. She took her first ride in the stroller without being in the car seat. Doesn't she look so big!! She also tried rice cereal for the first time. She actually did very very good well as better than I expected anyways. Today was her 4th day of cereal and she is really catching on quickly. I am completely amazed. Lanie's third first on Saturday was rolling over in her crib. I was at a shower Saturday morning and came home to find Lanie sleeping on her stomach during her nap. I immediately made sure Bart had not laid her on her stomach and he assured me he had not. So she had managed to roll over and looked quite comfy. She rolled over for two naps that day of which she slept for 2 hours straight each time. I really tried to get it on video but if you watch the video above she couldn't quite get all the way over while the camera was on (of course). As you can tell Saturday was a big day in the Ives' household. I love watching Lanie learn new things daily. She is really liking making noises with her lips!! We are taking off work on Friday so I can't wait for a 4 day weekend to spend with my little bundle of joy!!!!!
