Laney 2 Months

Laney is 2 months old today!  To no surprise, time is flying by and we can't slow it down.  She doesn't look like a newborn anymore and is filling out more and more daily.  It is crazy how two months have gone so fast, but yet it seems like she has been a part of our family forever.

Update:

• Is weighing 10 lbs. 7 oz. (44%) and measuring 23 in. long (88%)
• Laney is such a happy and content baby.  She just sits/lays and watches everything going on around her, which I am sure is very entertaining.
• Her personality is coming out more and more each day.
• We can get her to smile a lot.  She has been smiling since about 5 weeks.
• We get a few coos and giggles every now and then.
• Luke and Lawson still adore her.  They now try to make her smile all the time.
• They try to play with her and give her toys, but it usually just ends up them trying out all of her new Christmas toys.  She doesn't seem to mind :)
• Wearing 0-3 month clothes and 1 diapers.
• Laney eats every 3-4 hours and is still just drinking breast milk.  She drinks 4 oz. if in a bottle.
• Sleeping at night has been going very well.  She will get a 5 hour stretch most nights, which I greatly appreciate.
• She loves her pacifier and will suck on her fists if we don't give it to her soon enough.
• Laney still loves her baths.
• Has had a little bit of bowel movement issues, but hoping it keeps getting better.
• Laney hates tummy time and doesn't last very long.  We are hoping to work on that.
• Poor little girl has already had two colds, but has done very well with them.  
• We have avoiding going outside much with the bitter cold and have enjoyed just snuggling in the warm house.
• Laney got her shots today.  Even after 3 kids it still breaks my heart to seem them in pain.
• We did quite a bit of traveling with the holidays and she did great!  She usually slept the whole time which made it very easy.
• We still get that she looks like both Erin and me.  It just depends on the day.
• Still has her dark hair.  Erin thinks it is starting to thin out a bit.  I like to think her head is just growing so it looks thinner :)

Laney's Baptism

While we were doing all of the Christmas celebrations back in Kansas, Erin and I decided to throw in another celebration of bringing Laney into the Catholic Church.  We were able to get permission from our church here to allow us to baptize her back with our family present.  We got to have her Godmothers there, one visiting from California and one just 2 weeks from having her own little princess.  It worked out very well, and Laney loved the warm water on her head.  Thank you to those that were able to be a part of it all.  We pray that God will be with us as we teach Laney about him and continue to raise her with his help.

**FUN FACT:  Laney wore a family gown that was worn by my mom, her sisters, me and my sisters, all the girl cousins, and my niece Keeley.**
