life with Lainey

Oh, Lainey. You have only been in our lives for 2 months and we can't imagine what life was like without you. Your brothers and sister shower you with kisses every chance they get and they fight over who gets to hold you next. We all talk really funny when we're around you...just hoping you will flash one of those precious smiles. Your daddy and I walk around in a daze most of the time from being up in the middle of the night feeding, burping and putting you back to sleep (although you did prove to us that one day very soon we will be getting better sleep since you slept through the night last night...12 hours).

We have learned to be more quiet when we walk by your door while you are napping...Ansley still hasn't learned that very well yet.

Ansley has learned to "back off" while mommy is trying to feed you and has found other ways to keep herself occupied.

We have learned that going on a walk with daddy in the evening keeps you quiet and gives mommy a break.

You get a bath every night before bed because you love it so much and it seems to calm you down for bedtime.

From the very beginning you have enjoyed laying on the changing table and hanging out.

Just yesterday you had decided to stop breastfeeding. Not sure why. But thankfully you decided to take a bottle 7 hours later. We're thinking you are going to be one particular/opinionated little girl.

We don't take you in the car very much because...well you just don't seem to like it yet.

We can't wait to see what the next two months bring...hopefully a full nights sleep.
