Mom and dad with Lanier.
(1st Grandchild)
Nuggie and I
Aint she a doll
Mom and Lanier chillin' on the front deck. Lanier loved to sit and watch all the cars and motorcycles drive by
On one of our many walks. It was so nice to wake up and take a stroll in the cool breeze. We stopped off to eat breakfast on the beach and then strolled back home. Can't beat that !!
One of my favorites... notice the mismatched outfit...but she sure did pull it off
Breakfast at the Seahorse. A local
restaurant that has been there forever. Great breakfast and we always make it there at least once. Its only a couple blocks from my parents and a nice walk along the bay.
Cool morning
For some reason this picture caught my eye.. I think its the
beautiful waves in the background.
Lanier loved to chase the birds and feel the tide coming in. We did manage to
swim once but not for long. I didn't have her out in the middle of the day and by evening it would get a tad chilly... she enjoyed the tiny dip though !!
To all those mommies reading this. I knew
Ralph Lauren ran small but when I tried on this dress my mom got
Lanier down there, I was surprised to see that she actually fit in it. Its a 12 month !!!
My goof

Toes.. Toes.. and More Toes...
To cute.. my child.. I know..
Mom and Lanier beachin' with her toys that they got her
More
Busia fun..
That's the name
Lanier is going to call my mother. Mom is really mostly Irish but couldn't find a good
Gaelic grandmother name.
Busia is really not the Polish name for Grandmother... more like a shortened/
chicago Polish lingo name for
grandmother... anyone following me on this... Easier to explain in person. My dad is just
Gampie for now.
Food shot
Here is a funny. So my parents have nothing but tiles in the house and some carpets, but nothing to break a fall to the noggin. So we put down a futon that they had and surrounded it with pillows and
whaaaalaaa... a place for
Lanier to sit and play while we w
atched her and TV. Worked really good seeing as all she wants to do now is sit up.
SHe is now sitting up from a belly position. Fun but nerve racking at the same time. We have a
play mat at home that is foam but she still manages to fling her head back every once in a while, so we have it surrounded by pillows and blankets. The tricky part to all of this is that when I put her to bed or down for a nap on her belly, she
immediately pushes herself up to sit. Well, she has managed to hit her head a couple times since we have no bumpers and the
crib has been lowered.
Whatcha gonna do though...
Hangin' with gampie
This is an adorable outfit we got from a lady that works for my dad. I was worried we really wouldn't get to wear it anywhere since this past Florida trip was just something we decided to do on a whim while Tim was gonna be out of town any way to. SO it worked perfect and it was
sooo cute on her !!
My parents got this tent that bocks the UVA and UVB rays and she loved it. She will use this for many years to come.
Some
Tid bits on
Lanier. I might be repeating myself a bit but she is just over 6 months old. She has already made 2 trips to Florida and was a PERFECT angel on the plane. This past time we went alone and it was fine. Thank you to my parents for buying a car seat so we didn't have to tote one around. She is saying
Da DA
Da Da as of recent.
SHe sits, she scoots on all fours, reaches for all her toys. She is a crazy woman on her belly and does turns like shes a pinwheel. We are eating 4 Six ounces bottles a day or straight up
Similac ... NO MORE hypoallergenic
Alimuentium. She gets two meals ( breakfast and dinner). She is "
raking" on everything and once she gets that little pincher
grap is allowed to have cut up table food. She is still getting that
weird blotchy skin when she eats. Not with everything only sometimes and with nothing
in particular. She is
sooo happy and smiles all the time. She LOVES to scream and hear her voice. She sleeps for 10-12 hours a night
6 month stats

Dr. Cat says she is doing AWESOME and was surprised to see her sitting up so well on her own.
