Happy Birthday Lane!

 How did this little baby boy grow up to be 10 years old!?!  What a blessing he has been to Reese and I.  He has been such a great big brother to all of his siblings!  These girls are so lucky to have him as a big brother and protector.  He's is a great friend and cousin, athlete and student. I look forward to watching him grow in the next 10 years, what an adventure it will be!

Lane's First Touchdown!

Lane is the dark gray in the middle with the pink arm band on, carrying the ball.

 Lane's football season is now over but he ended his season with a bang last Saturday!  He finally got a touchdown!  The coach kept trying to get him one, and he had lots of carries all season but never a touchdown.  And thank goodness I was there to watch it!  Many of the games it was so rainy that either I stayed home or I was in the car with the girls. We are very proud of this boy and the good friend and team player he is!  I could tell at his awards ceremony how well he was liked by his team mates, by all the cheers for him when he got his trophy.  Love it!

 Lane's nice football face.

Ingrid 2 Months

 Ingrid is over 2 1/2 months old now.  She is getting really big.  She's been wearing 3-6 months clothes for a few weeks now.  She flew through the other sizes!  I took her to the doctor on September 29th (right at 2 months) and she weighed 12.5 lbs and I think she was 24 1/2 inches long.  She was in the 75% for both.  Over all she is a really happy, easy going baby.  I am so thankful!  I have had some more health issues lately (I will explain more in another post) and she has made things so much easier on me by being laid back, smiley and taking a bottle easily!  She is such a blessing to our family!  Ingrid has been smiling a lot at us.  Usually when we go up to her and talk to her she greets us with a big gummy grin.  She's getting to cooing too which melts my heart!  Her sleeping is great!  Most nights she wakes up to eat around 4:00-4:30 but last night she slept a full 8 hours and didn't wake up until 5:30!   She also has started paying attention to toys hanging above her and she'll swat at them to get them to make noise. The kids are enjoying having a baby in the house too.  Estelle says things like "I'm so glad we have a girl baby."   So thankful for our Ingrid Faith!
