Mommy's Little Helper

Tidying up with the Shamwow.

Lanie has been a real mini-me lately. Yesterday, I was flossing my teeth and then she wanted to floss. Today, she brought me perfume and wanted some sprayed on her. While cleaning up today she took her towel around and scrubbed things. The funniest one...she wants to put lotion on her belly just like mommy.

Merry Christmas

My belly at 25 weeks. He very active from 8pm to 11pm. I hope that doesn't hold true after he is born.
Opening presents with Mommy and Daddy. She was very concerned about getting the paper in the garbage right away.

Lanie loves her new art center. She drew a fancy picture for her Grandpa Adams who had to work today.

Momma missed it!

Lanie had her first pee in her potty chair.

I was changing her into her pj's and decided to have her sit on her chair for a bit. She sat there for a few minutes and not even thinking about it checking for potty, we went about our business. It wasn't until after she went to bed that Auntie Becky brought it to our attention. I was doubtful but sure enough she has gone potty and I went about cleaning it up. Next time, I will know to check and give lots of praise.

I guess we will have to give it a try again tomorrow.

Let it snow!

Helping Daddy shovel this morning.

Bounce!

Yesterday we went to Bounce! a crazy, child filled building full of blow up slides and jumping castles. Lanie loved it. Her favorite was the inflatable slide. We, yes, we climbed up that thing some twenty times. I was exhausted and it wasn't me who took the nap when we got home. Next time I am bringing John along so he can do all the climbing.

Fun day Monday

Lanie & Kyler at the pool....shivering.
Lanie doesn't look pleased in this picture but she had a blast and loved swimming. This part of the pool has periodic waterfalls...neither one of us enjoyed that part. We will definitely make another trip to the pool in the near future.

My little climber. I had the camera in the kitchen and got this picture just after Lanie climbed into her high chair unassisted. SHE IS INTO EVERYTHING!! Hence the reason she is in the cupboard. I couldn't keep her out of the pyrex dishes so I gave in and cleaned it out. She loves it and it allows me to get dinner made.

Enjoying some fresh air

Lanie loves playing outside. When it is cold or her hands are frozen from picking up too much snow she says, "brr".

Thanksgiving Day

Hanging with my primo hermano, Sal. This is the only way to get a picture of them both. They are always on the move.
Momma, Lanie and Daddy.
I usually let Dad hold the baby but we made a trip to the ER on Wednesday morning because his shoulder came out of the socket...AGAIN, he took off his sling for the picture. He is now visiting the orthopaedic doctor to see what we need to next. We hope it isn't surgery but the doctor says it will most likely happen again. We will know more after we find out the results of his MRI.

Roary and Lanie.

Lanie decided that Roary needed to wear her daddy's hat. Roary is now nearly five months old.
