So LaNea has been getting so big lately and so quickly. She has found that she loves to be mobile and is getting pretty quick at it. She noticed very quickly that she has a box of toys just for her and this picture shows her absolute favorite toy!
So her Thrush has come back again. This time I think it was botherinig her, so we used that purple stuff again and this time I took a picture of it. Don't worry it doesn't last long at all! :)
Just her stats at 6 months...
Weight : 14.0 lbs
20th Percentile
Length : 27 inches
85th Percentile
Head Circumference:
50th Percentile
She also is giving me a new medicine to fight LaNea's Thrush. Its a purple liquid that I have to rub in her mouth and it will turn her mouth fully purple as well as everything else it may touch. Now I'm left deciding what blanket, onsies and socks I am wanting to turn purple. So exciting!
LaNea has figured out how to pull on this musical toy. Now instead of waking up to a crying child, I hear the soft melody of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 
Also, it was the only picture I have explaining what I have been up to every Tuesday thru Thursday. My neighbors son, Kaynen, has been coming over to hang out with me. Its been a challenge to learn how to keep him entertained as well as try to teach him a little to prepare him for kindergarden this fall.
LaNea has started the teething process which is affecting more than just her mood. Eating has become a two person job. One person is needed to hold her hands out of her mouth while the other is to spoon it in. When I'm left by myself, this is the outcome...
Surprisingly SMUD in Sacramento is currently hiring Pre-Apprentice Linemen. Eric saw the opening at the last moment possible and got his application in. For the next few months, he'll be going through all the fun tests to try to get on with this company. Any happy thoughts would be totally appreciated, for while moving doesn't sound like fun...it would still be great to be home.
Lanie has recently decided that she is big enough that she doesn't have to be swaddled. Even though I had been putting her to bed swaddled, I would wake to find her out of the swaddling and on the opposite side of the crib. I've now been putting her to bed without it and while it is a lot harder for her to fall asleep, she does sleep which is something I didn't think would happen. I do think she misses being swaddled because she always crams herself as tightly as she can. This was how I found her asleep after her morning nap! I just love this girl!
Having lunch with Kendall and Amy and their darling babies! While an outsider might have thought we planned on having kids within six months of each other, we didn't. Just got incredibly lucking! Landon is the oldest at six months, then LaNea at five and finally Mia (hidden in the most amazing carrier ever!) at one month. It was so fun to get together with them and just to catch up on all the adventures of motherhood. Who would've known each of our experiences would be so different!
Mr Serious and Ms Dramatic. Landon seems to be the exact opposite of Lanie. While LaNea loves to be the center of attention, Landon seems to just want to observe everything that goes on. So fun to see how different they can be.
Mia was so good the whole time at lunch. She stayed in the carrier for most of it but even let Amy sit down while we ate. She only cried once when Amy was putting her back in the car but even that was THE cutest cry ever!
