Smiles

Lane has been working on his smiling. Not sure if it's gas of course, but in this pic I was tickling his cheek and baby talking to him. The smiles have been bigger, but the camera caught this one.

First Family Photo

We finally took a photo all together!

Dr. Appointment

Mr. Lane had his 3 day old dr. appointment today. He is doing awesome! Right away the nurse said, "don't worry if he lost weight, most babies lose weight after they are born." The nurse weighed him and he was at his birth weight! Yippie, that is good, the nurse was suprised he wasn't below his birth weight!

First Outting - Target

We had our first outting yesterday - 8/26/09! We walked to Target across the way from our hotel!

Ohhh how we love him, we are so happy! He is perfect in every way!

Books Books Books

We love our new books! Val's granny, Vicky, sent us some lovely books. We cannot wait to share them with Lane!

Hurry up and WAIT!

Ahhh the waiting game....All I try to do all day is occupy my mind. And how have I been doing that? By SHOPPING.....shoot! I have been to every mall within a 15 mile radius! That's four to be exact, including the Mall of America!

I just need to calm my mind and try reading a book. He's gotta come out sometime, right?!?

Perhaps I should cut back on the coffee, I'm a little antsy!

New Blog

Ok y'all, so I am very new to this, but I will be posting all family updates on this new blog. I will put some pictures and things on facebook, but this is where you will be able to find exactally what we, as a family, have been doing. Here is where I will put lots and lots of pictures of Lane as he grows. Please save this site as one of your favorites and check back regularly!

6 More Days!

Val is due in 6 days! Apparently a very small number of women actually go into labor on their due dates so we are hoping and praying she goes early. Well truth be told, I am praying she goes into labor today! It's Val's granny's birthday today too!
