Lana is over 3 months old!

Beautiful baby Lana turned 3 months old on Thursday, and today, is 13 weeks and 4 days old.  She is a healthy, fantastic baby!  God is good! :-)

She is sleeping about 10 hours a night now, and sleeping in her big girl crib.  It only took Luke and I sleeping on an air matress right beside her crib for six nights to finally move into our room, and let Lana sleep in her room.  Lana has been sleeping wearing a "sleep sack," and seems to really like it.  She sleeps on her left side with her thumb in her mouth.  She just loves sucking her little thumb.  She sucks her left thumb, and pets her little hair with her right hand to sooth herself to sleep.  Smart baby.  ;-)

Lana almost never cries, and when she does, you know she means business because she does so infrequently.  She eats like a champ from Mama Cow still, and burps like a froggy.

Little Lana has been a very busy girl!  Since our last blog update, she has gone on a 4th grade field trip to Conner Prairie, walked in her first Relay for Life, gone to school to meet all of the teachers at Sheridan Elementary, met Maw-Maw, gone to a whole lot of garage sales (Mommy, Lana, and Mimi's newest hobby), gone swimming, and hung out with Aunt Jo, Margie, and Grandma Patty.  Aunt Jo and Margie have been home since Memorial Day weekend, and Lana has seen them nearly every day.  We take her shopping, to lunch, dinner, and everywhere in between.  Lana just hangs out, smiles, laughs, sleeps, gets her diaper changed, eats, and fills all of our hearts with so much joy.

Gracie still thinks she is Lana's other mommy and even checks on Lana when she wakes up in her pack and play.  Shelby, well, is still Shelby.  She chews her bone and glances over sometimes if she hears a loud noise come from Lana.  :-)

In other good news, Auntie Em and Uncle Bone will be in central Indiana to stay by the end of the month!  Woohoo! 

Enjoy the pictures!

Happy 10 weeks Lana!

Lana is 10 weeks old today.  I can't beleive it!  As I am typing, she is sitiing up in her little swing watching t.v. She absloutely loooovvveees to watch t.v.  (Yes, I have 16 and Pregnant on, and no, I know this is not a show designed for babies, but for now, she seems to like it as much I do.;-))

Also, today is Gracie's 4th birthday.  I am sure she would feel left out if I didn't share that with everyone. ;-) 

Most of the pictures above are from Mother's Day weekend.  Lana made her first trip to Buca on Saturday and to the ZOO on Sunday!! What a fun weekend.  The third picture down is of Lana looking around under the dolphin tank while the dolphin show was going on. 

Enjoy! :-D

Today, Lana Grace is 9 weeks old, and today was her 2 month well baby check up. Luke and I really thought Lana would literally be off the charts with her length, and it turns out we were not all that wrong. ;) Lana is in the 95th percentile for length!! She is also now 90th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for head circumference! Wowsers! She also got three rounds of vaccines today, and took them like a champ. She has been a little bit "extra" tired, but has otherwise been one tough cookie. She even has two pink camo bandaids to prove she is a tough baby. We love this little baby soooooo much, and know we are truly blessed! God is so good. :)

Happy 2 Month Birthday, Lana!

Here are some recent pictures of Lana.  (In fact, I am so on top of it this time, these pictures are all from within the past week.)  ;-)  I love the pictures of her proudly sucking her thumb.  She is a darn good thumb sucker.  Most of the pictures are  from today, Lana's 2 month birthday. 
Also, I am also proud to share than Lana has slept through the night for an entire week!  Last night she slept from 9:30-5:30.  We are, of course, so proud of her.  :-) 
Lana helped out with our big garage sale this past weekend. Many of our shoppers admired her. ;-) She got to spend lots of time with Grandma Patty, Mimi, and Poppy. 
Enjoy the pictures!

A few quick Lana updates: 1. She has officially discovered how to suck her little thumb. She has done it several days in a row since Thursday. :) 2. She slept from 10:30 last night until Daddy got up this morning at 5:45!!! What a big girl!

I forgot some!!! :-)  Here are sme pictures from her one month birthday weekend!  (You will notice Gracie made it in to a few completely on her own... she mustn't be left out.)

Lana is 7 weeks and 1 day old today, and is just the sweetest, cutest, funniest, baby!  She gets smarter and prettier every single day.  So far, the verdict is that Lana has Auntie Em's ears, Uncle Kristopher's hands, Daddy's facial expressions, Mommy's nose, and possibly "Lechner eyes."  Nevertheless, she is so much cuter than Luke or I ever thought about being.  ;-)

Last week, she started laughing and smiling at her little bear mobile attached to her bassinet.  So now, I can do chores in the morning while she stares happily at those little white bears.  Lana and I are loving it. 

The pictures above are mostly from Easter ( I know I said I would post them two weeks ago...eeks), and the last few are from this past Saturday and Sunday for two of Lana's big dates.  :-)
