Finally, more pictures of Laney!

Laney is now 6 months old, and will be almost 7 months at Christmas. She has been teething for at least a month, and finally cut her first tooth on Sunday! She also began sleeping through the night last week (finally). We have had to let her "cry it out" a few times at night, but we are much happier with our new sleeping arrangements. She started eating meat last week, and voraciously consumes her meals with gusto. She loves eating so much, that we have to cut her off during meal time so that she will still take a bottle. We discovered that she likes to chew on dry toast, so Laney and I are headed to the store to stock up on dry teething biscuits and Puffs. Celebrating baby's first Christmas is so fun. She loves to feel our tree and stare at the lights on it. She also likes nighttime walks to look at the Christmas lights in the neighborhood. We even took her for a visit with Santa and there were no tears, just curious glances at his face. Santa pictures to come :)

Buying our Christmas tree. Laney liked to feel the trees. She even did it with a very studious look as though she was evaluating each tree.

I love bananas! This one was mommy's, but I attacked it and now it is mine :)

Christmas baby!

Laney's first meal

Laney's first solid food was applesauce, which was not such a hit at first. Now she LOVES eating and eats bananas, applesauce, pears, prunes, sweet potatoes, squash, and pumpkin. Still doesn't like carrots, but we will keep trying!
