This last weekend we got to travel to Missouri to watch Josh graduate from High School. Can hardly believe he's old enough to be graduating.
First time Lanie got to meet Aunt Laura! Loved her right from the start.
Still trying to make out what is exactly going on with all these strangers.
Celebrating our new graduate
Watching everyone play in the water and hottub while getting nice and dry on Grandpa's lap.
For the last little while LaNea has started to become so much more independant. From not wanting me to feed her anymore to wanting to only hold one of my hands as she stands. I have no idea where this attribute came from but she definately has it in abundance. Its fun though to see just how big she's getting and I'm now starting to see just how quickly she is really growing up. 
Yes, she did fall over after the picture was taken and No, that didn't mean she learned her lesson. After the second time however, Eric and I moved the step to the other side which didn't stop her from still trying but it made it more difficult than she could deal with right now.
Couldn't believe she would actually get some of the food in the mouth. Not much but a few pieces! :)
Just thought I would put together some pictures of what Lanie has been up to lately...
To start with, we finally got LaNea a booster seat with a tray so she can feed herself. She was alone for about five minutes when we turned to find this mess and yes, that is both her spoon and bowl on the ground. So much fun.
She also has the great ability of getting into just about everything. As you can see, she has no worries about how expensive the items she climbs on are. We can find her just about anywhere and today we had the joy of seeing her start to climb up on things.
As you can see, LaNea has taken a real passion to shoes. She isn't too fond of wearing them but wow, does she like to eat them. At church last week, she crawled up to another little girl and started chewing hers. Here's just a small example of how much she likes her shoes.
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! :)
