Five Months

Since the four month post, we have celebrated a lot of Laney's "firsts." First photo with Santa, first Halloween, first taste of rice cereal, first trip to the beach, and first overnight stay with Grana and Papa (Donald's parents). It has been a busy month and it has flown by.

It's safe to say she liked the rice cereal!

Four Months

Laney is almost four and a half months old! The past month has really flown by and she is getting funnier, cuter (if that's possible) and more expressive every day. She's getting better at rolling over and holding things in her hands, which go directly in her mouth. I got out Sophie the Giraffe and she loves chewing on it. She also loves when I sing (yikes) especially Wheels on the Bus, Laney Had a Little Lamb, and a Laney song I made up to the tune of La Bamba, ha.

At her 4 month checkup last week, Laney weighed 13/10 (50%) and was 25 inches long (75%). The doctor said she can start rice cereal now so we're going to try it this weekend. She was sleeping through the night great at 3 months but she's had some setback since then. I'm going to try to feed her more during the day and see if it helps.

Here are some recent photos. Thanks to Lindsey McRae for letting us borrow the Bumbo and Lindsey Miller for letting us borrow Harper's pumpkin dress!

Brooke Rainey Photos

I'm so excited to share some of the wonderful photos from our session with Brooke in August! Laney was a little tired so we couldn't get her to smile but she still did great. Brooke knew all the baby photographer tricks, like pulling the paci out her mouth right before the shot. :)
