This afternoon we went to a baby shower for us that was put on by the 2nd ward. LaNea was so good she slept pretty much the entire time. 
These were the cutest boots and lucky for me they already fit her unlike most her shoe collection
I know the picture is bad but hopefully you can see all the fun gifts we got. They best part was that none of the clothes had the feet at the bottom. We've found that when they do, Lanie will outgrow them way too quickly.
She even stayed clean the whole time we were there. It only took one big and one extra large burp cloth. But she does look cute if I do say so myself!
On October 11, 2009, we had the joy of both visiting with family and giving LaNea her baby blessing! We had both our parents, Grandma and Grandpa Steenblik, Melissa and the Williams. Needless to say the house was full of adults but we did have lots of little girls to keep us happy.
LaNea's in her beautiful dress. I love how she will actually smile!
Our little family
Peyton was completely fearless when it came to getting to know everyone. I still wish I could be like that!
It was so great to see everyone and so nice to give me arms a break. Thank you for all coming to see us and we're looking forward to seeing family soon. 
A drooling face her parents love, not to mention how much we love that its being done in there and not all over our clothes...again.
Our favorite outfit on her so far. Too bad she can only wear it for a few hours before its dirty...
Our wide-eyed girl. There's no middle ground with this one, she's either very asleep or very awake.So LaNea has proved to be a very stubborn little girl. Our hardest part with her is getting her to sleep. Now, don't get me wrong, she loves to sleep, but the getting to sleep is quite an ordeal. You see, she can't go to sleep if her arms are out but as she falls asleep she needs to have her arms up. So the struggle begins. We try to swaddle her just tight enough that she won't get her arms out too soon but that she'll still be able to get them out later. After one success, I snuck in to see how it went and this is how she slept. So she may be stubborn but she's a cute stubborn.
So Shauna came out at the end of August but didn't get to even meet her newest granddaugther til the middle of September. But not to worry we're looking forward to seeing her again in a few more weeks! Hopefully by then LaNea will be able to spend just a little more time awake then asleep.
So lately both Eric and I have been in full-blown parent mode. Its even there as we sleep. A couple nights ago Eric awoke and was terrified when he felt Lanie off to his side and couldn't figure out how she got there and worried that she would fall off. But when he reached out to grab her, all he felt was a handful of fur and a lot of meows.
Then last night, I set my alarm to wake me up to make sure I could feed her but I didn't fully wake up when it went off. A few minutes later I reached over to grab Lanie to get her ready to eat but I first felt a tail. Immediately I try to figure out where Bella was. I couldn't find her but it took me a little while as I tried to figure out how my daughter had grown a tail.
So needless to say we are either becoming somewhat confused over loss of sleep or our cat is set on making us crazy as fast as possible.
Eric had been dying to take LaNea for a walk around the park by our home. He even asked if he could as we drove home from the hospital. After what must have seemed like eternity, we finally took her a walk last night.

The very happy daddy all ready to go!
