Our First Official Outing Together

Well yesterday Laney turned 3 weeks old! Its hard to believe that it has been 3 weeks already! Its probably because my days and nights all run together now! Anyways, Ryan and I had a birthday party to go to, so his parents came over to babysit. This was the first time we have left her to go out! Here is the official picture of our first outing together since Laney was born!

Our luck, the second we leave Laney does something new-- she found her thumb and started sucking it while "River" (Ryans dad) was holding her! I was sad that we missed that, but thankful that Susan thought to take a picture!

Here is a picture of Laney and "River"! Also below are just some other pictures they took while we were out! Laney loved getting to hang out with her grandparents for the night and we loved having a break for a little while too!

Even though Ryan and I had a good time on our first outing, I was ready to get home and see my precious angel-- somehow I dont

think that the feeling was mutual!

Laney had such a good time with her grandparents! They said that she stayed awake the entire time we were gone, and Ryan stayed awake the entire time we were out-- but this is what happened when we got home...

Paige and Logan came over the other night to bring us dinner! It was soooo good especially the cupcakes that Logan made us! Logan had a great time holding Laney-- except I guess she must have had a dirty diaper because he said she stunk! I think he was right! I cant believe how fast he has grown up!

Visitors and other Pics

Laney meets Kate!

Katie and David came up a couple of weekends ago to see Laney! She was so excited to finally get to meet her Aunt Katie that she fell asleep! Now she is looking forward to meeting her "Ha Ha" ( that is Katies mom Jane Ann)

Rachel and Paige also stopped by to see Laney when Rachel was here on business! I was so glad that they came and saw her in her little Zutano outfit-- b/c she has already grown out of it!

Lynnlee Thomas (Derrick and Emmie's little girl) came to play with Laney too!

After all those visitors what do you expect!

Daddy and Laney

Papa finally got to come up to Fayetteville and see Laney last weekend! He was there the day she was born but he had to get back to Little Rock so he only got to see her for 5 minutes the first time. So He had to come back and get his fix!

Here is Laney with her grandmother! She loves her and loves that she comes by to play a lot!

Laney and Nanny! She has come from Little Rock and stayed twice to help me out! I think that it is all catching up with her now! I bet she is pooped from going to Ashleys house and then coming to mine! We will give her a two week break, but then we will be making our first trip to Little Rock! She was such a big help!

Another pic of Laney and her dad. I can definately tell that she looks like her dad in this pic!

Laney and her only GREAT grandparents!

Dakota and Riley love our new addition! They are so good with her and very protective! I think she likes them too but who really knows!

Laneys Room!

Here are some of the first pictures I took of Laneys room! I need to take more pics of it, b/c I have added more stuff! Maybe I will get around to that later today! Anyways, I had so much fun picking out all of the fabric with mom for the bedding! If anyone needs baby bedding made,I know of a wonderful lady who loves to do that kind of stuff-- at a minimal cost! The room is STILL NOT DONE, but If you know me, it will always be a work in progress, but here is what we have so far!

This blue piece Bob (Ryans dad) gave us and I LOVE IT! I just need to decorate it some!

From the beginning...

Well all I can say is Ryan and I are truly blessed! We had a healthy baby girl September 25, 2008! She is the love of our lives! Hopefully I will be able to keep up with this blog so that everyone who wants to, can keep up with our precious little Laney Marie Brisiel! Enjoy!

People say that when you have a baby everything changes... and let me tell you it does, but for the better! I cant imagine life now without my sweet baby Laney! I never knew I could love something so much! She is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to Ryan and I and we will continue to thank God daily for the precious gift He has given us!

Here is a pic of Laney on her FAVORITE Boppy Newborn Lounger! She loves this thing and so does her mom and dad! She sleeps on it all of the time!

This was Laneys First Bath! She absolutely hated it! And I would have too, but luckily my mom was there to help me-- Ryan wanted nothing to do with it because she was crying so hard!
