The letters of Laney's name are above her crib, and almost every morning when we get her out of bed, we have spelled it out and then pointed to her and said, "Laney!" Well, recently she's started saying her own name after we spell it. Here's a video of me trying to capture that. I found some alphabet flash cards on the dollar isle at Target (which she LOVES... really big score) and spelled her name out for her. She says it really quietly, so you have to listen closely.
Here we have Laney opening the box of clothes from Deedee. She loved it. I left the box and clothes in the room until I had time to wash them that night, and she packed and unpacked it a thousand times. She would get excited each time and say, "oh!" with a squeal. Sorry it tool so long to post, Mom. And to everyone else - it's a little long.
Here's a classic time enjoying a book with her daddy. She gets really excited about some pages. She likes to add some dialogue...

Caroline: 2 months
I posted this on Feb 17, but for some reason, it's posting it out of order... sorry it's too early.
Caroline is showing a lot of personality, if I ever get the time to talk only with her. Laney loves talking to her, too, and making her smile...
It's amazing to look back one month and see how much she has grown. It's impossible to remember when Laney was this young, which is weird... but it's still hard to think about those first few days when Caroline was born. I'm glad we have pictures and videos.
She focuses on your face when you come into the room, laughs when you tickle her feet or sing to her, and coos when you have time to talk to her. It's hard not giving her as much time as I know I gave Laney. But Laney still gives her kisses and hugs each time she sees her. Caroline sleeps with her mouth open still, but is on a pretty great sleep schedule so far. Since about 6 weeks she goes to sleep around 8:30 pm (exactly at Laney's bedtime!) and not wake up until 4 or 5 am. Then, she started eating every 2 1/2 hours during the day instead of every 2. Just 30 minutes makes a big difference :) She also takes 4 hour naps on bath days. I do it every other day, and she loves it, just like Laney did.
Caroline is also too big for "newborn" clothes and has moved on to "0-3 month." This outfit is 3 mo., and just a bit too big. I suppose she'll have to be Daddy's favorite a little while longer ;) It has cute pants that go with it, but I wanted you to see her skinny legs and cute little feet.
