Life with Laney

Laney's First Sunday at Church

3.15.09 - Today Laney went to church for the first time. It was so much fun taking her in her dress and showing her off to everyone. She did really well, and slept through most of the service. The last five minutes she decided she was hungry, so mommy headed out to the lobby to feed her. It was so wonderful attending church as a family, and we can't wait to see what God has in store for our family and Laney's life. We are so thankful and feel so blessed to have such a beautiful and healthy little girl. A lot of people have told me I am lucky, but I don't think that is the correct word. We are very blessed, and I thank God everyday. 

Today at church we signed up for parent/child commitment. We are very excited to dedicate Laney and commit to raising her up in a Godly way and in the church. We would love everyones support. You are all welcome to come watch. She will be dedicated on March 29th at 11am. If you want the details just send me a message.

Laney's First Bath Time at Home

Snug as a bug after her bath!

BRrrr!!!

Well we gave Laney her first bath at home today. As you can tell by the last photo, she doesn't like it very much! We are very excited for that little belly button to come off, because we think she will enjoy a real bath instead of having water squeezed on her by a washcloth and then having the cold air get to her. She does LOVE her head being washed. When you put water on her head she stops crying, and she looks like the happiest baby ever. It is so adorable. 

Laney's First Outing - Fred Meyer

Proud Daddy with his little girl!

3.11.09 - After getting permission from Laney's doctor we decided to head out of the house for the first time. Her doctor told us it was ok to go to church and go shopping, but we just need to make sure people don't kiss all over her and get their spit on her. We needed some baby hangers and we wanted to get a few more fleece jammies for Laney, so we headed to Fred Meyer. It was so much fun walking in as a family of three. It is crazy how much time is added to everything we do and how long it takes to get ready, when she is just so little.

3.11.09 - We had an amazing photographer come to our home and take professional pictures of Laney. She spent a total of 5 hours at our home, and she was so patient waiting for Laney to cooperate and sleep.  As you can see it was well worth the time. In about a week we will get to see the rest of the pictures, and let me tell you... I think we might go BROKE!!! If you ever need any kind of pictures done, I would really recommend this photographer. She was such a sweet and caring lady, you could tell that she really loves what she does and she has raw talent! Visit her website at: www.ambersheree.com.

Laney's First Appointment

All dressed up for her first appointment, all of her newborn clothes are HUGE :)

On Wednesday March 11th, Laney had her first appointment with her pediatrician. It went very well, and he told us what a strong healthy baby we have. They weighed her and she was 6.85. We were very excited to see that number, because the day we left he hospital Laney was down to 6.3, which was almost 10% of her body weight. Most babies lose weight at first, but 10% is the most they should lose. They were also concerned that she might have a little touch of jaundice, but her doctor said she looked great and he wasn't worried about it at all.
