Lana at 4 months...almost!

Just doing some tummy time on Kelsie's "bed" downstairs. I put bed in parenthesis because we have yet to move her down there. We tried for a few days but she just kept coming up every few hours into our room and waking us up. I couldn't take waking up with two babes so that plan is on hold indefinitely:) Chad said "Great. We just painted a whole room purple!" Yes. Yes we did.
 
Lana is currently out of our room and in the pack 'n play in the office.  The last two nights it has actually been great cause she has slept until 4:30. But I've had to go in at about midnight and re-wrap her to keep her from getting up. She is such a happy, smiley baby. I don't pay attention to her for a little bit, look at her and she'll just be smiling her little face off at me.  Even if I'm yelling at Kelsie to do or not do something I look down and she is happy as can be. She has started to develop a high pitched squeal/scream that at the start makes me laugh every time. It's just unbelievable that this little creature makes such a high noise. And then it gets ear piercingly high and I stick the binky in. Most of the time she is very mellow though. She likes to hold her hands. She's been grabbing at everything for the last month or so and rolled over to her back about that time. I think that is a little faster than Kelsie. She has only rolled a handful of times.
 
Kelsie still loves her sister and loves to make her smile whenever she can. The other day, while driving, I heard Kelsie say "My name is Kelsie and your name is Lana!" Haha. She has not shown any jealousy towards Lana and tells me all the time what a cute sister she has.
Nope. That wall is not photo shopped. It. Is. Purple.
 
This is when she got mad and started to try and roll over.
 
At her 4 month appt. Lana was 15.1 lbs, 25.5 inches, and head was 16.25 inches

Lana Tub Pics at 3 1/2 months


Had to throw in a Kelsie one to compare. I think Lana is starting to have more of her own look.
Love her chubby little body.
Kelsie at about 6 or 7 weeks I think.

Who is this GIRL?

I find I'm asking myself that question all the time. I wonder why......
She came out of her room the other afternoon wearing this attire. Don't you love the see-through skirt? Pretty scandalous. I told her she can't leave the house without shorts on and she said "People don't want to see my bum!" Yep. That's right.

New Pics for Grandma Nelson

Grandma Nelson has been asking for some updated pics of Lana. Her she is at 8 weeks. I love her chubbiness!


Lana on the left. Kelsie on the right.
 I think they look so much alike. Freaky!!! I've had twins!

Sleeping NO NO's

SO I am not a co-sleeper. It's just not my thing because I don't sleep as well with her in the bed. I was desperato! I seriously must sleep so occasionally I will bring Lana in bed with us if she wakes up too early. Such a mean Mom. I figure she is big enough and can handle sleeping a little longer. Chad snuck a pic of us. She moved right up next to me. So close that we were touching foreheads! I've noticed if I get that close she instantly calms down and falls right back to sleep.

Blessing Day and Grandma and Grandpa Nelson Visit

The Nelson's came to visit us the second weekend in July so we decided it would be a good time to bless Lana.  It has been over a year since we've seen Grandma and Grandpa so it was nice having them around. I think Kelsie liked wearing Grandpa out by always asking to go do something with her. She also found his secret stash of candy in his room. Can't hide anything from that girl. Especially if sugar is involved. Grandpa knows better now. I think I finally understand why my Dad used to hide Twizzlers and such in the caserole dish on the top shelf. No grubby little fingers can get to it. Well until they turned into grubbly big teenage fingers:)

Grandma and Grandpa Nelson

The yummy food!

We took a lot of pictures with fam because we did such a horrible job getting any with Kelsie.
Chad gave Lana a beautiful blessing. I'm so greatful for the great father that he is. I am a very blessed woman.

4th of July 2012


The girls in their patriotic outfits ready to head to the Allen's. We made it to the bbq and Murray Park festivities this year but couldn't quite make it to the parade. Oh well. Next year we will definately be able to get out of the house. I swear it takes me an hour longer than I would like to leave my house in the morning.


Kelsie's favorite thing about the Allen's house. Well, other than her cousin Mary who she hugs everytime they meet:)
