Time just flies, especially when you have a little one! I can't believe that she is already 10 months old. Laneah is so much fun and so active. She loves to explore and get into everything. I put together a bunch of pictures and videos to give you a glimpse of what Laneah is like. She crawls all over the place. She can crawl on her hands and knees, but for whatever reason, she prefers to army crawl and so that is what she does most often. She usually crawls to the first thing she can use to pull herself to standing position. She loves to stand and she "cruises" (walks while holding onto furniture). She has been very brave lately and walks from the couch to the coffee table, but only lets go of anything for a few seconds. She stood up once by herself without pulling up on anything about a week ago, but hasn't done it since. Laneah loves to slap and bang her hands on anything and anyone. She is starting to like looking through books and being read to. She loves animals and gets so excited every time she sees our cat Monty. She is just starting to eat stage three foods. I thought that it would be easy because she has taken to solids so enthusiastically. But after screaming through the first few feedings, she now tolerates it. I have tried a few table foods, but she makes a terrible face and spits it out. She has become very suspicious of everything that I give to eat now. She even tests her beloved puffs by sticking her tongue out of her mouth so that she can spit whatever food you give her out quickly. She is very independent. Even though she is very clingy to me, she doesn't like to snuggle or be too close because there is too much going on..to much to see...to much to do:)


Laneah loves to bang pots and pans. She especially likes to play with them on the tile because it is so much louder. Recently she found out which cabinet is home to the pots and pans and enjoys pulling them all out.

Laneah discovered how much fun laundry can be. She likes to crawl into the laundry basket, snuggle with the clothes and then pull the folded laundry out of the basket, shake it (just in case it might still be folded), and then throw all the clothes on the ground.
She loves ties. Every Sunday, she plays with daddy's tie over and over again.
Laneah likes to play in the ball pit. She also loves to throw the balls out of the pit and then chase them. She recently started to like rolling or throwing balls back and forth to Jason or I. She thinks it is really funny.


Lately, Laneah climbs up onto the couch and looks through the blinds to see what is going on outside. She also likes to play peek-a-boo with the curtains. The bottom picture is her laughing at herself after playing peek-a-boo.
She is always crossing her ankles, she even crosses her ankles while standing and holding on to the coffee table sometimes.



Laneah really likes music, and she loves when you make music with her xylophone.


When Laneah gets really excited, she tenses her whole body and shakes with her mouth wide open. It is so funny.



Laneah loves to climb, so it was no surprise when she tackled the stairs.

One day Laneah just started making this noise that sounds like a little monster. I have no idea why she makes the sound or where she might have picked it up, but it is hilarious.

This is our coffee table. It has a bottom piece where I used to store magazines. Rather than crawl around the coffee table, Laneah just climbs through it.

Laneah loves anything involving speed, hanging upside down and adventurous. What she doesn't like, is when those things are over. We love to throw her in the air and do fun things to make her laugh. And she has a great time. But when we stop, she throws a tantrum and we think it is so funny. Bring on the terrible twos!

Last week she started making this funny sound and she does it all the time now.

Well those are a few of the things that our beautiful little girl has been up to. She keeps us busy, happy and tired. We sure love our little munchkin!
