Lanie's Dedication

On March 7, 2010, we dedicated Lanie's life to the Lord at First Baptist Jenks. I couldn't have asked for a better day. All of Lanie's grandparents were here to enjoy the day. Lanie loved being up on stage once she noticed the audience. She was kicking and talking the whole time. When Pastor Rick was praying for us Lanie grabbed her letter right one of his hands. She is supposed to open it on her 18th birthday. Sure hope I can remember!!! It was such a great weekend with family. Lanie I hope you realize how much you are loved and not just from your parents. I pray that someday you will give your life to the Lord so we can spend eternity together!

The Aquarium

On Valentines Day (yes I know this was 2 months ago), we made our first trip to the Aquarium with Lanie. Some family was visiting so we decided it would be a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Lanie was memorized by the fish. It was funny to watch all the high school valentines dates walking around. We purchased a family year pass so we are looking forward to visiting the Aquarium many more times to come.

9 month pics

Lanie's 9 month pictures were a bit more challenging than her 6 months due to her mobility. She seriously is a very busy girl. She has this look in her eyes that she needs to discover all there is to discover and she won't stop till the task is completed. I feel like her hair wasn't really working all that great, but I will admit she needs it shaped/trimmed up a bit. I do however refuse to cut her hair till she is a year. Even then I am sure I will have to force myself. Our friend Carissa Miller has taken her 6 month and 9 month pics. She does very good job with the little ones. Check them out.

Look what we found

Jocelyn (Lanie's sitter) called me a few weeks ago and told me I had to come over. She has stood up in her pack n play for the first time. Then a few days latter we found her standing up in her crib. I of course ran to get the camera so I would have these memories. Now that she has learned this new trick she can't stop standing up. I have to go lay her back down several times for naps or she will just stand in there and play. I almost forgot to mention in one of the pics above Lanie has a sleeve off. She was really into pulling that one sleeve off during her naps. I wonder how much she plays in her bed rather than sleeping. At least she is resting right!

Piggies

Here is a few shots of piggie tials. Bart loves her hair like this. I do like it as well, but I think she looks like such a big girl!! My baby is growing up so fast. She will be 10 months old next week. I just can't hardly believe it. Lanie mommy loves you more than words can express. I just want to savor every stage of your life.

HAIR

So my baby girl has herself a head of hair. I have no idea where in the world all this hair came from, but it seems it is here to stay. As you can see from the pics, the hair on top of her head has grown extremely long. She has a few stray hairs by her ears that are very long as well. She has to have her hair in pony tails every day so mommy is learning how to fix her hair while she is squirming around like crazy. As you can see at the end of the day after all her playing and napping the pony tails suffer a bit, but that is my Lanie. This girl loves to play and never stops moving. She is one busy girl to say for sure, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
