After pushing herself out of the netting (repeatedly) I decided LaNea was too big and deserved to take a bath in the tub instead. She loved it which was so fun to see. Everytime I would drip or pour water on her, her eyes would get all big and she would arch her back in surprise but never cried. When I wasn't antagonizing her, she would have the biggest smile and kick her feet happily!
This last week I got the great pleasure of having Ally come and visit me. It was very fun having her here and having someone to hang out with me during the day! Eric was good enough to help out with LaNea in the evening. As you can see, Lanie actually loves watching TV. 
My Masterpiece Gingerbread House. We actually made the gingerbread from scratch and found a few mistakes that we'll have to do better next time. But overall they turned out pretty well and apparently if you had enough frosting just about anything can stay together.
We celebrated both Eric's and Ally's birthdays while she was here. 
It was really fun having her here and I know Lanie had fun getting all the extra attention. Thanks for coming Ally
Her great attempt to suck her fingers. She switches between one, two and all.
She is still so funny! She seems to always wish to stay awake and seems to only get fussy if I try to put her to bed. She's talking a lot more and has learned how to squell. She'll now do this when she's both happy and mad which makes it quite fun to decipher between.So I know its a touch late to post but yesterday we celebrated Eric's 27th Birthday. We went to Eric's choice of restaurant (Chicken Oil, better than it sounds) and then home to games! Adam came to visit just for the occasion and we also had Ally in town as well. 
It's not what it looks like...they were lit but the camera wasn't working very well so they went out before he had a chance to blow them out. In the end, he was stuck blowing out the lighter instead of candles. Still counts.
This year for Thanksgiving, we got to head to Sacramento to spend time with our family! Everyone was together, something that isn't very easy to do.
Shauna took us out after the big family photos to just get one of our little family. LaNea was just about done by this point and yet she still managed to get some really good shots.
LaNea gwas growing so much while we were out there. She went from starting to make a noise here and there to talking for five to ten minutes straight. Even her cries have changed and when she's upset she seems to talk first before she starts to get really mad. She is also able to hold her head up so much better. She seemed to have a lot of fun hanging out with her cousins. She was always so fascinated by them and would stop crying just to watch and smile at them. So on Monday we went to the Drs for LaNea's 2 month check. Much to Eri's disappointment I didn't catch her weight but she is 23 1/2 ins long. The week before she weighed in at 9lbs 11ozs and the dr says she is gaining weight very nicely.
I can hardly believe she's already two months but at the same time I find it hard imagining life before her. She is so fun to have around especially during in the morning. Everyone's response when they meet her seems to always be the same...its starts with how adorable she is but then immediately comments on just how happy she is. She is always willing to smile at just about anyone and anything. She is also so great when she wakes up each morning, always just so happy to see me!
Here she is sitting in her swing. She loves to sit in her and watch the mobile spin around. Sometimes I wonder how she doesn't get a crink in her neck trying to watch one particular fish.
Mommy isn't very quick at taking pictures and who wants to sit still for so long.
Always willing to smiling when I say her name!So even though we didn't go trick or treating or have trick or treaters it didn't mean that LaNea couldn't dress up, Right? So I made her a little tutu and made her into a very simple and cute ballerina!
As alert as ever...
