Beach Trip 2010

I know it's been forever since I updated the blog!! Our lives have been a little busy with summer travels and of course the big move... don't worry I will dedicate an entire blog entry to the move. For now I just wanted to share a few pictures of our family beach trip and Laney's first Trip to the beach! We had lots of fun, stayed in a cute house about a block from the beach in downtown Cayucos. Along with Laney's first trip to the beach came Laney's first time with the stomach flu. Not fun! She threw up ALL night and cried and looked at me like what the heck is going on?? I'm trying to sleep! My poor baby. The next day she slowly became her normal wiggly busy self so we went to Moro Bay and explored. That night Laney threw up again! But only a few times...and then auntie Jen got sick...then uncle Jonny got sick... ewww hopefully next year we can leave that part of the trip out! Other than that Laney LOVES the ocean she wasn't scared of the water at all even though it was freezing!! She wanted to stand with her toes in the sand and let the waves wash up to her feet... but her legs are a little short so the waves ended up washing up to her diaper... haha. She loves the birds... ate a little sand...collected seaweed sticks and rocks...dug a hole with her shovel... and went on the swings! What a fun trip!

My little Laney loves to stick out her tongue... and this picture proves it! It has been a while since we updated the blog... so here's the latest. Laney's last Stanford appt was a couple weeks ago. She was such a big girl! It was the first time she didn't cry at her appointment!! She played with the Dr.'s stethoscope and even showed her piggy face. She now weighs 15lbs 9oz at 11 mos... so she continues to be well below the growth curve. But she is growing so we will continue her calcium and vitamin supplements. The doctor can still feel the mass and it doesn't feel like it has changed since stopping the steroids a few months ago. We were hoping that it would continue to shrink after stopping the steroids. So the plan is for another MRI in May. Not fun.
Speaking of not fun, on the way home from our trip we had an interesting adventure. We stopped at Harris Ranch to feed Laney. Garrett climbed in the backseat to get her out of her car seat and I hear, "What's that on your face?" I froze. Yep sure enough it was poop. A major blowout. And there she was sitting happy in her car seat her paci in her mouth with poop streaks on her face and her hand gently kneading a pile of poop that had somehow shot out the side of her diaper. We just stood there staring at her for a while not even knowing where to start. After some maneuvering we sat her down in the trunk while we cleaned the carseat. She rolled around in the trunk naked and giggling thinking it was the funniest thing ever. For us it was funny (we couldn't help but laugh) and gross.
On a lighter note:) we are planning Delaney's first birthday party!! The theme is lady bugs, or "Laney Bugs" as we call them. Can't wait to see her face when she eats her first cake!

Happy Easter!

Today we celebrated Laney's First Easter and The Resurrection of Our Lord! He is Risen! We went to church, and then had lunch @ grandma and grandpa's house. We learned today that Delaney does not like bubbles:) Such a scaredy cat! Laney's dress was a gift from grandma Nancy (california grandma. so confusing with 2 grandma nancy's)

Little baby Zo is here! He is so cute and tiny! Well, 8lbs 5oz & 20in tiny:) Courtney was so brave! Such a long labor for her, but she and her little man are doing well. Hoping they get to go home today. Can't wait for Laney to meet her new little cousin. This is a pic Jen took @ the hospital.

Happy 9 month Birthday Delaney!

This is a little clip auntie Jen took of Delaney the other morning after just waking up. She has her favorite blanket from uncle Blair and aunt Amber and if you look closely you can see her teeth!
