Lane 1st Birthday Party

It only seemed fitting to have Lane's 1st birthday party with a ladybug theme. I found most everything on etsy (one of my favorite websites!) - I was really happy with the way it turned out - in large part, due to my friend Lindsay putting in countless hours helping me get my house in order and also with the decorations for the party. Lane devoured her cake, as we all knew she would! Aside from the wetness outside, it was a GREAT day!

Lane's 1 Year Check up

We have had a super busy March, so I am just now getting around to posting Lane's stats from her check up at one year.

Height: 29.5 in (62%)

Weight: 20 lb 1 oz (32%)

She is growing fast. I can't exactly recall what Dutch's stats were at this age, but she seems like a little shrimp compared to him - and he is tiny for his age! She is still a good little eater for the most part. We have moved on from formula to whole milk and she loves it! I hope that continues for her - Dutch wanted nothing to do with milk and still only likes chocolate milk sometimes. We are still waiting on her hair to grow....

Our little Lady is ONE!

This time last year, DJ and I were loving on our newest addition - probably trying to calm her down and hoping the screaming would stop (if you remember, she cried A LOT and very loudly in the beginning). Now, we are busy trying to keep up with two toddlers and loving every minute. Lane is ONE today! She brings such a new, fun element into our lives. She smiles and babbles all the time. She really is a happy baby and most of the time, easy too. She loves her daddy, but recently has started wanting me more. She has started having some separation anxiety when she is not in our arms - I remember that with Dutch also. She says a few words: dada, mama, kitty cat, uh-oh, and something that sounds like Bella and Dutch. She is walking everywhere and most of the time, prefers that over crawling. She is a great eater and an even better sleeper. She goes to bed at 7:30 and sleeps until 7! We love her so much and wish her a very happy birthday!

Here are some recent pics we had done...did I mention she loves cake?!
