14 3/4 weeks

Ahh...I'm feeling oh soo good on this Tuesday morning, since I got more rest than I ever have had since having Laney. Wow....sleep is NOT taken for granted these days. I still have to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, drink more water, and pump, but Laney is now sleeping until 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning! Can we say MIRACLE?! She'll start rustl'n around about 5:00, but in goes the pacifier and she's gold until 7:00. I actually woke her up this morning, so she can start getting used to getting up at 7:00. Praise, Praise Praise the Lord above for His blessings to this tired and weary newby mother.




I forgot to post these pics below. These are pictures of when Hugh's brother Matt saw Laney for the first time in February when Laney was 2 months and 1 week old.







The Bumbo-Update: So...I forgot to mention in the last post that when we put Laney in the bumbo for the FIRST time the other day, she started to buck out of the seat by arching her back MAJORLY! I am convinced that Laney is ahead of her time b/c she's only 3.5 months and is the strongest, little baby I've EVER seen!!!! But if you look back at the pics, you'll see that she needs to improve a bit on her tummy muscles to stay upright. From what I've read and from what others are telling me, Tummy Time is of utmost importance right now. So, That's what we're going to focus on every time she's awake. She's such an active little thang... Most of the time she gets upset when we make her sit in our laps. She wants to stand and climb our bellies. She sitting in my lap right now as I type this, getting her morning exercise as her little feet are pushing off the desk in front of us.

Laney is drooling and gnawing on everything. I know that teething is quite a few months away. and I praise the Lord for that. I'm liking where we are now and we need to master what we're doing now before moving onto teething. Besides, I'm enjoying her gummy smiles more than ever!! :)

Our Little Drama Queen: Turns out that Laney is loving expressing herself through squeals and shrieks while sitting in her swing or talking to her animals on the mobile. It's HILARIOUS. I think she surprises herself all too often at how loud she is! Prepare yourself now Hugh, having two Drama Queens in the house is going to be a wild ride!

Hair: Like I said earlier, Laney has rubbed a bald spot on the back of her head. She'll turn her head side to side when she has to burp, and if she's laying down....off goes the hair. It's okay though, her little bald spot is so cute. Look for it in the video below.

Rolling Over: I know that when Laney first rolled over a month ago at 2 1/2 months, we did not post a video because we didn't have the capability to do so. Now we do, so there's a clip of her rolling over in the 3 1/2 month video.
