3 months old!

Happy 3 Month Birthday Lakyn!

Layne and I forgot how much we LOVE this age--she eats, burps, and then just beams with smiles--can't beat a baby smile!
She is sooo close to laughing--we have gotten a small chuckle out of her and some sounds--but not quite a full blown laugh.
Lakyn is sleeping a lot better too--goes to bed in her crib around 10:30--gets up between 3:30 and 4:30 to eat and then sleeps to anywhere between 6:30 and 8:30--not perfect, but a lot better than it was!
We did not have a doctor's appointment this month, but we know she is growing and healthy!


Super cute Little Sister outfit from Great Aunt Clarice and Great Uncle Royce


We had a fun morning visit from Lana and Josie over Spring Break--Lana got lots of baby snuggles!

More cute clothes and big smiles--our school nurse gave us this outfit--Sandy was so awesome the last month of my pregnancy checking my blood pressure twice a day and reassuring me that all would be fine!


Two days before I went back to work, I got together for a lunch date with two other teachers at Southeast of Saline that had baby boys in March--Lakyn will have a lot of boyfriend options!  All babies were delivered by Dr. Knox--he is a favorite at our school!
Babies are--Lakyn, Haydon, and Everett


Look at this cutie--and the baby acne is all gone--hooray!  

So far--we have a blue/hazel eyed girl--Caden, Brynn, and I all have brown eyes--Layne has blue/green--we were guessing Lakyn's would change to brown, but we are thinking she is going to be blue or hazel--kind of fun to have a different color around!

Still loves the bouncy in this adorable outfit from Canaan and Jess and Family

St. Patrick Day Green--Lakyn was tired and very serious here--but she adores her big brother and he adores her!

The big news at our house is I went back to work on April 4th--I loved every second of my time off and although it was hard to give up all my mommy time, I was welcomed back to 1st grade life with lots of love and hugs.  Lakyn is adjusting to life at daycare--Brynn keeps a good eye on her for me--she is not drinking as much from her bottle as she usually does, but there is a lot to see and watch at daycare, so I am sure that will change as she and I both adjust--Lakyn is usually asleep or awake and smiling when I get there, so that works for me.
My first two days back, Lakyn woke up about three times in the night, so that made for a very tired mommy, but I think we were all just adjusting and she has done much better this week.
Going back to work, taking care of my husband and family, and trying to help clean house and get supper is pretty exhausting, so we are taking it one day at a time and trying to do the best we can--so thankful for a husband that will help out with about any chore and spend time with our kids as well!
5 and a half more weeks of school--the count down begins :)
