Bye Bye

Lanie has learned how to wave bye bye!!!

Good Morning

I know your super jealous, but this is what Mark and I get to wake up to every morning.  There are the morning when I hear Lanie on the monitor and secretly wish she would just lay back down and sleep for another hour and I am sure I am not the first parent to have that thought/request.  Once we drag ourselves out of bed we are greeted with this adorable baby girl standing up in her crib with a HUGE smile on her face ready to start her day. 
Lanie is always fun, but I love spending mornings with her.  She has so much energy and is ready to go so it is always quality play time.  I told Mark the other night that I just love watching her discover new things.  For example in this picture Lanie is learning that you can crawl through that hole, sit on the blue part, or push it and it bounces.  I think she is super smart, but I am also her Mom :)

Happy Halloween

Lanie celebrated her first Halloween which it was very exciting.  We didn't actually go trick or treating because well she has no teeth and is to young for candy!  Lanie got to dress up as you saw from the last post at Mallory and Jeff's Halloween party and then on Monday he daycare had a party.  She did lots of fun stuff while she was at daycare.  She watched the Charlie Brown Halloween Special, played games, got lots of goodies, and made a spooky ghost for Mommy and Daddy.  With it being the first party that Lanie had where she brought treats I got alittle excited and made these really cool preztel cob webs.  Not only were they yummy, but the kids loved them. I tried to made a spider cookie out of oreos, but they kept breaking so I just put the oreo in the baggie.

Since Lanie was Thing 2 and I was Thing 1 and Mark was Cat in the Hat it would have looked weird for her to wear her costume with out the rest of the family. So she put on her best Halloween get up and off to the day of fun she went. Over all it was a great day that ended with rocking my sweet little pumpkin to sleep which is the best part of my day :) Happy (late) Halloween everyone!!!!
