Big Update

Sorry its been so long since I've been on here.

2 month pictures.

Alright time just goes by way to fast. Lane will be 3 months old on Friday, January 15. WOW!! (again).

He is now smiling, laughing, giggling, moving like crazy, rolling, GROWING, holding his head up much better. Though his head is so big he sometimes has trouble holding it up but he's doing alot better. He's getting long, I had to go through his dresser and put all this 0-3 month clothes away. I didn't think it would be a big deal but it was sad my little guy is growing up. He's now into 3-6 and some 6-9. We are taking his 3 month pictures and family pictures this friday. I can't wait. We should have alot of pictures with smiles.

Monday, January 4 was my first offical week back to work and Lane's first day at daycare. Since Justin has wrestling practice with JV and Varsity and practice with Konnor we take Lane to daycare on Monday and Thursdays. He's going to the daycare that Justin and I went too. I know I can trust her, which makes it easier for me to go to work. Though that cute smile he gives me everytime I talk makes it hard too. I think he will enojy daycare.

Looking back...

Lane's 1st Christmas

Here is Lane with his first tractor that Grandpa Vostad got him. Red all the way!

Lane's 1st Christmas wasnt to exciting. Of course it SNOWED here. Christmas Eve we went to my parents and had BBQ and Oyster Stew and headed back home before more snow came. Chrismtas we stayed home and hung out just us 3. Saturday evening we ended up going to Justin's parents for Vostad Christmas, where Lane got his first tractor just like Cousin Konnors first tractor. Very Special. Though he slept though the whole opening presents thing. Next year will be more exciting for him.

Naked Baby!!

He loves laying on the floor in the morning just in his diaper wiggling around. Though he's been getting alittle congested and its been cold so mommy hasn't let him lay naked for very long.

Oh yeah and we are DROOLING ALOT!!!! At his 2 month appt the Dr said he could be getting teeth any time now and last week I was home he started sucking on his hand. I think we have teething in the NEAR future.

He is changing so much, he's getting very long now. I think he will be built like his daddy.

January 9 & 10 my mom and I and Lane went down to Sioux Falls to spend the day with my aunts and cousins. It was Lane's first sleep over at a hotel and he did really good and slept in his pack-n-play all night. Of course he got spoiled by my aunts and cousins but that is ok. You have to spoil them sometimes. Got some new pants since his legs are getting long he grew out of most of his sweats. Its so much fun shopping for baby clothes, way better than shopping for my own clothes.

He's getting more into a routine now. Mornings he wakes up between 5:30-6:00 which I wake up at 5:00 and that gives me time to take a shower before he wakes up. Though sometimes 5:00 comes way to early. He eats and then lays on the floor watching Handy Manny and Micky Mouse Clubhouse. He loves those shows, full of color so it gets his attention. This is good because then it gives mom time to get ready for work. Then we are off to daycare or time to wake Justin up so he can spend the day with Lane. He is loving his bouncy chair which I got at a rumage sale for $3.00 he just kicks and bounces all around in it. Great investment! At night he usually goes to bed around 10:00-10:30 gets a bottle around that time and out he goes, but he has to have his blue blanket. During the day he's pretty much awake in the morning and then takes a nap in the afternoon which makes the daycare lady happy. He's up to 4 oz now, no wonder he's getting so big.

Not much going on with us just busy with Lane. Justin is waiting to hear back that his snowmobile is fixed so he can go riding in all this snow. Though I tell him because his snowmobile doesn't work its his fault we got all this snow. Hey its SD of course we are going to get snow, deal with it!!

Justin has been going to High School wrestling practice to get in shape and to help the guys out. He also helps Coach his nephew Konnor in wrestling Monday and Thursday. Saturday, January 9 Konnor won his first match and got 3rd place in the wrestling tournement. Way to go!!! Coach Justin was very proud.

Me, I've just had to come to the relization that there isn't enough hours in the day and that if my house is alittle messy and things are scattered around the house its ok just leave it. Of course now that Lane is here it makes it so much easier to leave the mess to hang out with him. I love being a mom it is the best thing in the world. It not only changes your life because you have another human to take care of and look after but the feeling you get. I can't really explain it but its just the greatest feeling ever.

Oh New Years...

We went over to a friend of ours. Actually a couple posts back I blogged about Lane going on his first play date with Neil who is 2 months and 3 days older than Lane. And there were 2 more babies there. 4 boys ages-6 months(Dayton), 4 months(Neil)and 2 2 months(Tyler and Lane). Tyler is 3 days older than Lane. It was so fun to see all the different ages in babies and to hang out with couples with kids.
Then that Saturday we went to our friends house for a Christmas with Friends. Lane got to see mommy and daddy's crazy friends.

Next week we are going to another play date but this time it will be with 2 girls. Emma who is 6 months and Maddie who is 11 months. His first time hanging out with GIRLS!!! It should be a fun time!

It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant and order our hotel rooms for the stock show. Now we are 3 weeks away getting ready to head out to the Stock Show. This will be our first time at The Black Hills Stock Show, we were suppose to meet our friends Wagner's out there but they are moving to Iowa and out of Buffalo. Erica's originally from there and they want to be closer to family, which I totally don't blame them. I love being close to my family. So we are going out there just the 2 of us. Which we are calling it our honeymoon since we never got to go on one. It should be a good time. First vacation by our selves. We will meet a friend I went to LATI with out there and her husband and cute little boy who will be turing 2 that same weekend we are out there. I think it should be a really fun time.

Another exciting thing. Our friends The Wagner's that we met in Brookings at our archery club. We went on a camping trip with them 2 years in Pierre, since it was pretty much in the middle for both of us. But now they are moving to Iowa so we will be 3 hours away from them instead of 8. Erica and I have been talking about meeting in Sioux Falls and having lots of playdates with Lane and this son Gunnar who will be turing a year old April 30. That time sure went fast. I know they will miss it out in Buffalo but they will love being close to family and I know Erica's mom will love having her Grandson close by. I know my mom LOVES her Grandson so close.

Well I think that kind of updates our life for now. I dont have any pictures on my computer yet but when I do I will get them posted on here so you can see how big he is getting. Probably for his 3 months.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a WONDERFUl New Year!!!

Love

The Vostad's

Our Family

December 12,2009
Lane got baptized today.
Here is a picture of our cute little family, our first picture together.

Here is a picture with Lane and his Uncle Jesse-Godfather

Winter Is Here

I know its been a while since I've been on, I guess life gets a little busy when you have a little one!

Lane is now 7 weeks old.
He has discovered his tongue, which is very funny to watch. He's smiling more when you talk to him. So you can see that cute little dimple on his left cheek that matches daddy.
Growing like a weed!! He's getting bigger every day!
4 weeks old he rolled over from his belly to his back and finally he did it again and daddy got to see now its a regular thing. He loves being on his belly any chance he gets.

Justin has been coming home every week for the past couple weeks so Daddy and Lane have been bonding, this week Justin had to go to Mitchell so its just me and Lane. This is Justin's last week of work then he will be home all the time!!!

This Thursday I have to go into work so Lane is going to Daycare for his first day. Diane is the daycare that Justin and I went to together.

Saturday, December 12 Lane will get baptized. We're having cake and coffee and Grandma and Grandpa Scheibel's house.

I can't wait for Lane's 1st Christmas. I have bought his a couple things but of course he can't use them for a couple more months. Actually I bought his a little 4 wheeler from Wal-Mart it was on sale one day I went there so I had to buy it. I thought maybe they won't have it next year, so I'll just wrap it next year. Of course I'm sure he's grandparents will spoil him this Christmas.

Thanksgiving~ Thursday was with my family and he got spoiled by my 2 cousins 12 and 15 years old. They love babies. Friday we went to Justin's parents house and he got spoiled there. Aunt Jesse loved holding him and feeding him. Grandma Peggy bought him his first pair of wranglers so he was wearing them for Thanksgiving. Here is a picture.
Mommy's Little Cowboy!

Lane had his first play date in November with my friends little boy Neil.
Neil was born August 18, he is 3 months old in this picture Lane is 1 month.

Beautiful Fall Day

Had to post this.

Today Lane and I went for our first walk. Beautiful weather so I thought it would be good to get out of the house and get some fresh air. Then we got back and played with Tuff & Roper. Tuff was morre interested in what was in the stroller than playing fetch, Roper of course was playing fetch.

I hope there are more beautiful days while I'm on maternity leave.

Saturday Justin is going deer hunting and Lane, Grandma Coleen and I are going to Sioux Falls to go shopping.

Our Little Boy is 1 Month Old

Again I say Time Flies! WoW, I can't believe Lane is 1 month old. November 15,2009 he turned 1 month.
Here he is in his football sleeper laying on daddy's blanket at 1 month old. November 15,2009

Yankees Win!! Lane is 3 weeks old

Yankees Won the World Series last night!!

Thursday, November 5 which is the date I wanted Lane to be born on because it was my grandmas birthday and how cool it is that 3 weeks ago he was born. I can't believe its been 3 weeks already he'll be 1 year old before I know it. WOW!!!!

Today he is supporting the Yankees.
Tomorrow we are going to get Professional Pictures taken which I'm totally excited for.

I just can't wait for Justin to be home all the time, even though him working and getting a paycheck is nice. I like it when its just the 3 of us!!!

He's a Yankees Fan

Just had to blog this.

Friday and Saturday night Lane slept great 3 hours between feeding and that let mommy get some sleep. I was actually up at 8:00 Saturday morning and didn't take a nap.
But Sunday night when mommy and daddy wanted to go to bed at 9:00 Lane was not about going to bed early. He was fussy and just wanted to eat and cuddle on the recliner with his mommy. I hope he's not figuring out that I spoil him there. But I don't think I am, I think a mom has a right to cuddle with her son. Anyway so he ate and then didn't want anything to do with his crib. I turned the tv on and we sat in the chair watching the Yankees vs Phillies and at 11:00 when the game was over he was OUT. I think he just wanted to watch the game to make sure the Yankees won. I wonder if he'll be like that tonight??
I just thought it was funny how he just wanted to stay up and then was out when the game was over.

Yesterday and today the sun is out and looks beautiful out, I really want to take Lane in the stroller and go for a walk but I think its still a little to cold to take the little one out. Wait a couple months when its SPRING then we can go.

Back to Monday, Justin left for work this morning and its just me and Lane. We got lucky last week with Justin being rained out Thursday and Friday so he was home for 4 days. I really liked that now today I am missing him. We'll see how the weather holds up this week. I haven't had a week yet by my self but this week I feel much better about doing things and doing them on my own. Soon Justin will be home.

Saturday-Halloween
We didn't do anything but rented movies and stayed at home.
I did buy Lane a Baby's 1st Halloween Onesie and he wore that. A lady who brings supplies to my work made a blanket with a scarecrow and pumpkins on it so we took some pictures of Lane on his 1st Halloween. It was hard to get a decent picture with him looking but they are still cute.This Saturday would have been Lane's due date. Wow I can't believe on Thursday he will be 3 weeks old. Time is flying by. I think back on the day I went to the hospital and it seems so long ago. Don't want to go through that again anytime soon. I will take the time and enjoy my little one for now. Glad Lane came into the world early and healthy. Again I think he came into the world early to see the Yankees in the World Series. :)

I guess that is it for now. Once we got out and about and do more things the blog should sound more interesting now its just sitting at home spending time with each other and our son.

Take Care Everyone
