2014-11-21 - I found an eyelash on Lanie's cheek, so I thought she'd get a kick out of the whole blow-it-and-make-a-wish thing. She told me later that her wish was for "Daddy and Lanie to be best friends forever". I absolutely love this girl!
2014-11-24 - Lanie was pitching her usual fit about not wanting to go to preschool, and it went on and on. Finally, she gave in and decided to change her tactic. She finally said "FINE! But I am Pocahontas." And then she pointed at one of the little boys in her class and commanded "And your name is now John Smith". Ha ha ha. She's so stubborn. She always have to have her victories.

2013 Penny
So, I know my posts are few and far between, but we got quite a scare last night. Lanie swallowed a penny, and it got lodged in her windpipe!
It was terrifying, but she was a brave little trooper. She only cried, briefly, when they put in her IV. Today, she's 100% back to normal.
We love you Bug!

I love you
Every night when we go to bed, we have the routine. We brush our teeth, get in bed, read 3 books, change diaper, put jammies on, say prayers, and then I say I love you. Most of the time I get an "I love you too" back from her, but not always.
Last night she said it first.
This was the first time she's ever said that first. I know it's just something we say to her, and maybe she doesn't comprehend what it means, but it meant a LOT to me last night.
She's growing up into such a smart, happy, and beautiful little girl. We love her so much.

Bug is crawling!
Lanie started crawling two days ago! I didn't get to see her on day #1, but I got to see it yesterday. She crawls like she's been doing it for months, she's got it down!
As much as I love not having to babyproof the house, I'm very excited to get her mobile. She is growing up so fast.
Lanie, we are very proud of you!

Adam's first movie
Adam got to see his first movie, "SeaRex", this past Monday.
We got to the Science center a little after 10AM, and planned on going to the 11AM show. But apparently I didn't pay attention to the AM/PM part, and there was no 11AM show, just an 11PM show. So we had to wait until the next showing, which was 1PM.
We figured that 3 hours to kill at the Science Center with a 3-year-old might not be that fun... but boy were we wrong.
Adam was perfect the whole time. We went through the Grossology exhibit, which has educational stations explaining why out body needs to do the gross things (burp, fart, vomit, etc). There was actually a station where you put your nose up to this nozzle, push a button, and smell the smell that comes out. The buttons were labeled "Bad breath", "Armpit", "Foot", and "Anus". Yeah... we were all dumb enough to smell them.
Then, we spend about an hour in the gift shop. Kim read Adam books, and Adam played with some of the toys. But we were up front with him in the beginning and said that we're just looking. And that went over just fine. He was great, and never complained.
Finally we went to the show. During the previews, Adam declared "The TV is as big as our house!" quite loudly during a silent part. It was pretty funny. But after we told him that he needs to whisper a few times, that's exactly what he did. He was quiet for the rest of the show. It was pretty cute watching him turn his entire body back-and-forth to see the whole screen.
We made a big deal about how good he was... and how he whispered instead of spoke out loud. So, on the way home, he kept saying "The movie was SOOO cool!" and "I whispered, I was a good boy", and stuff like that. So you could tell that he had a really great time.
Kim and I were excited, because now we have a new movie buddy.

Welcome Lanie
Welcome back! And this time with the whole family! Lanie is finally here!
She's beautiful. She's over three months old by now, so she's smiling and cooing and melting my heart.
Adam is purely perfect as a big brother. He has shown no signs of jealousy, in fact he is the most loving little boy I've ever seen with a new addition to the family. He constantly has to rub her head, and always says things like "Aw, she's so cute!". You can tell he loves her so much.
And it seems that the feeling is mutual. Lanie always lights up when she sees or hears him. Sometimes she just sits there and stares at him. I like to think that she's staring adoringly, because that's what it looks like.
Anyway, Mommy and I are so happy that she's here and healthy, and the final piece to our perfect family.
