gotta get your greens.

lane LOVES green veggies. here was last night at supper...

fear.

tonight is going to be bad night of sleeping, we can already tell. not cool.

snuggle puppy.

this is for grandpa and grandma ferry who introduced lane to the great world of snuggle puppy.

rough II.

copy and past the same hourly schedule as below but add in a pinched nerve to vance's back.

weekly check-in.

we're back in colorado and living it up at the hotel. woohoo. we are enjoying walks in the gorgeous weather, going to the mall, and lots of playing in the hotel room. lane's newest trick is standing up and then letting go of whatever he is holding on to. within 2-3 seconds he falls. doesn't even try to brace himself or bend his knees. just a straight board falling. due to this new trick he bonks his head at least 5 times a day. (not counting the 20 other times we catch him) he has an unreal amount of bruises on the noggin. poor kid.
*about the mall...lane is a true boy. we only last about ten minutes there and then the whining begins, so we leave. probably a good thing because i have yet to buy anything.

putting groceries away. (or pulling them out)

our nightly game, playing with the hotel blinds. oh so fun!


doing some work on the computer.

almost everyday we go on a walk to the little pond not too far from the hotel and watch the geese. there are seriously hundreds of them. they are everywhere and they aren't afraid of people. in fact, they chase us. they want to eat lane.



having a bagel for breakfast.

helping mom do laundry.

rough.

last night was quite possibly our worst night with lane ever...ever! i can understand crying as a newborn baby but as an adult baby it can be overwhelming when you know they don't normally do it. lane doesn't sleep well outside is own home. he'll sleep an easy 10-12 hours straight, at home, so what is so different about other places? here is a recap of our night...

8:00-lane is yawning and rubbing his eyes constantly. we're saying "to bed early, unheard of?!"
8:30-pj's, eat...all the energy he could ever want. smiling, bouncing, giggling. we are kicking ourselves for thinking he was going to sleep early.
9:20-eyes closed in my arms.
9:30-fire alarm in the hotel goes off. sooo loud, we all leave our rooms. smoke in the hallway. (someone burnt something in their room) lane is once again wide awake and ready to roll.
10:30-this time he really is asleep.
12:30-we finish watching the movie, P.S. I Love You, we are both a teary mess.
12:35-lane starts crying. eat.
1:00-calmed down playing with a cell phone in our bed.
1:30-crying again. eat. sleep a few minutes later.
2:30-crying.
3:00-still crying.
3:30-still crying in our arms.
4:00-eat. vance holds him and he falls asleep.
4:30-crying again.
5:15-vance gets him calmed down. sleep.
5:50-vance's alarm goes off.
skip to...
7:15-crying. eat. sleep.
8:45-wake up (his normal time to wake up) all smiles and giggles. acts like he got the best nights sleep. he charms me over with that sweet smile, i somehow forget that i was frustrated with him.

*around 3ish i told myself i deserve to go buy a Caribou coffee today :)

date.

we had a quick 48 hours at home so we decided to take advantage of the fact that we know a really good babysitter. aunt renee came over while we enjoyed a dinner by ourselves...a first since june! in fact, it was our first time going anywhere just us two since then. we enjoyed talking, laughing, and not picking up toys flying from a highchair. thank you renee, it meant so much to us...you mean so much to us!

"hey, i want in the picture!"


lane's cute babysitter.
