4 Months

Dear Lane,

You have been with us for four months now. You continue to be a joy. You are such a good baby. I have no complaints. Well, we would love it if you could sleep through the night every once in a while, but I am just happy that YOU are happy and healthy, so I won't complain too much. You had a great month. You continued to gain lots of weight. I love to see those rolls getting bigger! Your belly is fun to watch grow too! You laughed for the first time this month, which was like sweet music to our ears and we actually caught it on the camcorder. You went on a date with your friend Maya this month. We went to the park with the strollers. We took your picture together. I think you like each other. You started noticing a lot more things this month. You started to grab your feet and try to touch Lefty. So far, Lefty has been a very good sport. You haven't hurt her yet, so she is still OK with it. I took you to the bowling alley for a Realtor fundraiser. You were such a trooper. You lasted the whole evening and got passed around all night. Everyone wanted to hold you! You had your first bite of rice cereal this month. You didn't know what was going on when I put the spoon in your mouth. I am not sure if you liked it because you were really fussy the rest of the night. We haven't tried it since. You also went to your first Board meeting this month. I took you to the meeting for San Angelo Christian Womens Job Corps and you let out a really loud burp that made everyone chuckle. We'll go for your four-month shots tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the doc sticking you, but I know you need the vaccinations. Know that you are loved very much.

Love,
Mommy

Lane's First Laugh

Lane laughed for the first time today when I was giving him what I call 'zerbets'. I am not sure where that term comes from, but I like it. Other people call them 'belly kisses', but I think 'zerbet' is more fun! Enjoy the video. It is about 1 1/2 minutes long.

Leather Anniversary

We celebrated our three year wedding anniversary this week. I didn't buy the Hubs a leather item, but I did get him an Academy gift card, so in theory, he 'could' buy something made of leather there. Leland surprised me with roses at work on Tuesday. It meant a lot to me because he was very busy with work, so I was touched that he remembered to order something in advance. Thanks for three great years, babe!

Super-Baby!

It's a bird?!? It's a plane?!? It's Lane the freight train super baby Lacy!! Look at that form. His back is so straight. We are so proud!

January 2012 Snow

We received over 2.5'' of snow on Monday, January 9th in San Angelo. Through the night I kept hearing sounds like a car door shutting. It turns out that it was limbs from our two gorgeous live oak trees in our front yard breaking off. Here are pics of what we found on Tuesday morning. :(

3 months

Dear Lane,

You have been on this Earth for three months now. You were very busy this month. You continued to do well at day care. Miss Kristi, Miss Teresa, Miss Kelli, and Miss Anjalie love you so much; you are already a charmer. You had your first Christmas this month. Mommy had a couple of super cute onesies embroidered for you for Christmas. You looked so cute in them. You had your infant pictures taken at Great Expectations Photography. Thanks Annette! They turned out great and you didn't even pee on anything when we did your 'naked baby' pics! Mommy was a little nervous about that! Your first Christmas was wonderful. Nana and Mimi picked out the same stocking for you from LL Bean. It has a train embroidered on the front of it. Your stocking at our house has two snowmen on the front of it and your name is embroidered on it. You went to church for the first time this month. We went to the 5 o'clock Christmas Eve service at Sierra Vista United Methodist. You slept most of the time. Our pew was a little crowded, but Nana was sweet enough to hold your car seat and Pop Pop/Grandpa held you for most of the service. He is smitten with you. Well.....all of your grandparents are! We had Christmas Eve dinner at Nana and Pop's house and you got to meet your great Aunt Iris and hang out with Aunt Haley and Uncle Kev. The next day we went to Miles to have Christmas day dessert at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house. You got to meet more of your cousins. You are the 16th great-grandchild on the Lacy side of the family. You are the 8th McCall great-grandchild and the 8th Haley great-granchild. You are the third Harvey great-grandchild. Then we drove to Waco and we had Christmas dinner. Mimi was sick so she had to wear a surgical mask when she held you, but she didn't let that stop her. She had to get her Catfish fix! You went to see your first movie with Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Harv, Mimi and Dado. We saw War Horse and you did pretty well, although Mommy was a little nervous that you were going to cry really loudly. Everything went fine. You ate during the movie! :) You witnessed your first snow this month on January 9th. It snowed almost 3 inches. We took the Bumbo outside and sat you in it and took pics. That night we had about 8 large tree limbs fall in the front yard. It was not fun to go outside in the morning and see that. This month you started smiling more and crying less. You sleep pretty well at nights. You can generally sleep for 5 hours for the first stretch, nurse for 30 minutes, then sleep another two or three hours. You are finally starting to get fat rolls and they look super cute! We are big fans of the ROLLS! We love you so much and are so glad you came into our lives.

Know that you are loved,

Mommy
