Here is our little mermaid sitting with her pumpkins. 
Me and Lanie on the deck.
Geoff and Lanie - you can see her tail the best here.
Just a cute picture of Lanie hanging out. We have a party tonight and we will see if we can get some better pictures of our mermaid. Happy Halloween.
Lanie in her crib waiting to be played with. She is her most smiley right when she wakes up in the morning. She is still a great sleeper. Most nights she sleeps all the way through. Napping during the day is another story.
"Riding on the magic carpet" is what Geoff calls this. He flies her around the house in her bumbo seat which keeps her very happy.
Lanie and I on her first wagon ride. I had a work event at the pumpkin patch. I got to show her off - she was a hit. 
Lanie in her Bumbo seat! She has such a strong neck.
Tummy time!
Here is Lanie modeling just one of her new headbands sew by great auntie Beff. (Kim's cousin from the east coast so I don't know how the technical term for her relation, so great auntie it will be) I have been searching for wide headbands for Lanie. I kept seeing these crochet ones but could not find them anywhere. Well Kim called Beff, a master crocheter, and a week later Lanie is the owner of tons of great headbands! They are so cute.
Lanie sleeping with her sock monkey shirt on.
Geoff and Lanie at the pumpkin patch. Geoff was very excited to finally "Wear his baby."
A picture we took of ourselves in the pumpkin field. We picked out a perfect 7 lb pumpkin to carve for Lanie this year.
Lanie sleeping with another cute headband
She is so close to laughing, I know she will any minute. Right now, a lot of smiles.
8 Weeks old also means time for the 2 month check-up and first round of shots! Lanie was a little crabby afterward, but overall did great. She also got weighed and measured. She is now 10lbs (41 percentile) and 23 inches (91 percentile) So it looks like if this continues, she will be taller than me by middle school. awesome.
Here are some shots that Kim took while she was here for a visit. We had such a great week, we were sad to see her leave:( Thanks for all the great dinners and baby holding time, I got so much done that I needed to!
Family shot!
Lanie with Kim in the Moby wrap. We took her to Saturday market like this. She slept the whole time, but I still think she was enjoying seeing all the hippies through her eyelids.
While we were home, we also showed Lanie off to all the family and friends. Here are a few pictures from the week. Lanie with Grandpa Geno!
Lanie with my sorority sisters. Also one week old baby Olivia - so cute.
Here is Lanie on a plane - she was perfect the whole time.
Here Lanie is showing how strong her neck is getting. She is also so much more alert!
Learning to smile.
Lanie with her Crazy Aunts and Uncles at the rehearsal dinner.
Spending a lazy day sleeping on Grandpa Bowers
All dresses up for the pre-wedding festivities
Lanie got to try out bottles this past week. Geoff and her are learning together and are doing a really good job.
Lanie has taken a few rides in the Bejorn and my Peanut Shell sling. She seems to like them. (This is the only way I have figured out how to take Larry out for a walk when we are home during the day)
She found a pacifier she likes:) (I bought all the brands, and the plain ugly one is the one she likes- go figure)
We took a family walk and Lanie rode in her stroller - Larry led the way. She has also been to baby connections, a candle party, watched a football game - what a busy girl! She has another big first coming up - a plane ride! I think I am more worried about how it will go than she is.
When you get to meet Lanie, you will see her cute sleeping poses. She always has her hands up by her head and it looks so cute. Yesterday I took this picture of Larry - I think now I know where Lanie is learning her poses from.
Another one I like.
