Kristi's Wedding Weekend :)

This past weekend the Wade family went to Indianapolis for one of my best friends weddings.  Kristi was one of my roommates all through out college and we made MANY MANY memories with each other.  There is something about living with a group of girls in college that just brings your friendship to a whole new level.  Kristi is one of those girls that just makes your heart smile and when she asked me to be in her wedding I was over joyed to share her special day with her and her new wonderful husband Jeff.   Since I was in the wedding Mommy, Daddy, and Lanie packed up Friday afternoon and headed up north.  It was Lanie's first time to stay in a hotel and she did great, couldn't have asked for a better one year old.  Lanie got to meet lots of people including another one of Mommy's roommates Becca and her husband who is also a friend from college Manges (or Brent hahaha). 
Saturday Lanie spent the whole day with Daddy because Mommy was off with the bride doing wedding stuff.  Luckly Grandma and Grandpa Maxheimer are friends with Kristi too and came up for the wedding and to help out with Lanie Bug when needed.  The wedding was so beautiful and Kristi was breath taking.  Then we were off to the reception where luckly another bridesmaid took a picture of Lanie and I because I pretty much stopped taking pictures at a certain point and then realized that I didn't get any of Lanie and I or any of Mark and I.  Lanie stayed strong till about 9:30 and then slept on Mommy for awhile so that Grandma and Grandpa could get some dancing in.  Grandma and Grandpa took Lanie back to the hotel to sleep so Mommy and Daddy could dance the night away.  We had such a good time and the band was soooo good.  Our normal IU crew (missing a few people) were all there and boy do we love to dance crazy. I am pretty sure that I only left the dance floor a few times. Over all the weekend was a wonderful weekend and Lanie can handle about 3-4 hours in a car before she starts to melt so Florida in June will be interesting!!!!!

Visiting friends :)

I know I have been bad with Lanie's blog for ummm I think it’s been three weeks so I have missed three posts sorry for the four readers I have out there :) Lanie is just a ball of energy and that has made writing a post while she is awake near to impossible and then when we do get her down for the night I am so exhausted I am not far behind her. 

Lanie has sprung 4 teeth!!! It only took 13 months, but she has 2 bottom and 2 top teeth poking through.  She looks pretty cute with her teeth and I think she is proud of them because I get some pretty big smiles so she can show them off.  I think having some actual teeth to chew/ tear her food has helped with her eating.  She is still picky and likes weird food combinations (like fruit on top of everything), but she is doing much better. 

Lanie loves to be outside so last week while I had off for spring break we were blessed with amazing weather and spent most of it outside do fun activities.  Lanie had two zoo trips in one week. She went to the Zoo with her cousins, Grandma Amy, and Aunt Melissa and then we went to Louisville to visit our friends Katie & Chad and their son Landon.  While we were there the boys went golfing and the gals and kiddos went to the Zoo. It was a really good time Lanie loved the giraffes and saw some lions performing reproduction (hahhaha).  Our little bug is getting bigger every day; I can't wait for summer and all the fun adventures that will come our way!!!!!
