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.



LaNea and her new toy!



So this week I've been incredibly busy. While April & Kevin enjoy themselves in Hawaii, I've been watching their three girls! My respect for April has gone up a ton, but I really have enjoyed hanging out with them. The things they say are constantly making me laugh. For example, earlier today Eric was putting the shopping cart away and Peyton says, "Isn't he just so handsome?" or when I asked her if she would like to watch this show, she replies, "Of course, this one is nice." Can't wait til LaNea gets to the actual talking stage.


But while we were here, Lanie has had tons of fun with all of her cousins toys. Her favorites have been trains with the alphabet blocks and an ariel fin. While her Aunt Brittany was here with Ashlyn, she got these pictures of Lanie playing. The fun part is that she is now army crawling all over the house. She keeps to keep up with her older cousins and hates being kept out of any of the fun they have. The only hard part with her crawling is that now she spits and then drags herself through it. Sharon had warned me this might happen but I still wasn't ready for it. :)

updates on LaNea

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! :)

Six Month Check-Up

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!

Our New Alarm

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.

Our Messy Eater

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...
