Pictures & Videos!

It’s been forever since I have posted anything let alone pictures so this post is mostly going to have pictures to fill your little souls with Lanie goodness.  These are some videos that we have taken. The first was taken in February and the second video was taken in January. I love these both because it shows both sides of her personality. One side is just so chill and the other likes to play and discover ie: her voice.

Trying-out Talking

Is this baby cute or what? I love her smiles. She is so quick to smile. February 2010 038

I love this baby’s outfits. They are all so cute. I loved these leggings. I converted them from girl’s knee-high socks. They look long and skinny on her in this picture, but her legs have chunked out. It is so funny to see her in this sweater now too. She loves to try to suck on the buttons, but can’t always get her mouth down to them. It’s so funny to watch.February 2010 029

Well, before Easter James and I decorated Bunny cupcakes. It was a fun date night. Here James is giving a tutorial of how to decorate them.

1-Frost a cupcake with delicious frosting. Then dip the top in coconut. March 2010 015 

2- Snip a large marshmallow in half around the middle. Be sure to concentrate as you do this. March 2010 016

3- Lick the marshmallow so it is nice and sticky. March 2010 017

4-Dip the licked mallow in pink sprinkles. ….. Ok, just kidding about the licking part. When you snip the malllows in half they are already sticky for the sprinkles.  March 2010 018

5- Form them so they look like bunny ears.March 2010 019

6-Apply bunny ears, eyes (blue m&m’s), pink nose (jelly bean) and little white whisker cheeks (I don’t know what you would call them, but little marshmallows) with frosting.March 2010 021 

7- Now frost on pupils and whiskers with special cake decorating frosting (black and pink respectively). James had fun pointing the eyes in different directions and in different sizes. In some cases it made for interesting bunnies rather than cute.March 2010 022

8- And finally, enjoy!March 2010 025

Lanie is just so adorable! Of course, we're all just predisposed to love these cute cousin kids. Eva loved the pink on the bunnies.

I posted a long library employee response comment to your comment on my blog. Also, I have to plug the crepe recipe-we love it and make crepes at least once a month.
