Chris' 5K - March 6, 2010

On March 6th, Chris ran his first 5k. It was in Trussville benefiting the YMCA. This is pre-race - all pumped up!

Chris and Jessica Space, an awesome girl he works with at UAB. They ran together.

Daddy and Lane pre-race. As you can see, Lane was not thrilled to by up so early and it was cold!

Chris and Space were somewhere in the crowd!

Gigi and Papa Rock showed up to support Chris too! Lane was excited to see his Papa Rock!

Finishing the 5K! WOO HOO!!

Finished and still smiling! :D

cold baby + tired baby = FUSSY BABY!!!

shortly after leaving the race...

Lane's 1st Haircut - February 23rd

Lane finally got his first haircut in February. He really did not NEED one except for the rat tail that was growing! I decided to take him to the lady that cuts my hair. I was so nervous he would hate the whole experience especially since she was a new person. So, I packed some toys, books, snacks and even his own hairbrush. He really likes brushing his hair! I also brought reinforcements with me - Gigi!

Right before his haircut.

This was actually the chair you wait in, but Lane was so happy sitting here KT just decided to cut his hair here.

Notice he is holding onto his hairbrush and the first comb KT decided to try to use on his hair. After he had those to things he was good to go.

He did GREAT! Not a single tear was shed and no fussing!! He did eat a good many goldfish though!

Ode to Tanya

Since Lane was a tiny baby, he has LOVED Tanya Tucker. He has literally been a fan of hers since birth - thanks Papa Rock! ;) When he was a newborn, there were a couple of times he would cry so hard and we could not figure out what was wrong. After a little while, he would get so hysterical the only way we could calm him down was to blast country music through the house (louder than he was crying). This would calm him almost instantly! I wish I had a video of this because it was insane, but I was too busy trying to calm a baby! Anyway, his love affair with her has only grown deeper.

For Christmas, Chris and I got Lane a MP3 player that came preloaded with kid songs (Itsy, Bitsy spider, etc.), but you also had the option of uploading your own songs too. So, of course we uploaded some country music for our baby boy!

One day, I heard Tanya (Oh, What it did to me is his favorite song) playing in the sun room, so I decided to see what Lane was doing. When I went in, he was lying on the floor on his tummy listening to her and kicking his legs. By the time I got the camera he was starting to get up...He looked like a little teenager laying on his bed rocking out! haha!

A couple days later, Lane turned on Tanya again and then climbed onto his horse. Nothing like good country music while you ride your horse!

When the song gets to the end, he says, "Uh-Uh-Oh!" Here he is trying to get it back to the beginning.

Doesn't he just need a cowboy hat, a belt, and some little boots! He can't deny his Texas roots! haha

Random pics from January and February

After Christmas, Lane was momma's big helper! He was digging through one of the boxes I was packing and found an old Santa hat. He wanted to put it on, so of course I helped! Is he not the cutest little helper ever!!

One of Lane's favorite activities is feeding the ducks at the lake near Gigi and Papa Rock's house. The ducks know Lane and come running as soon as he starts yelling "Duuuu!!" :D In case you were wondering, ducks love Cheerios!
In February, we got a good bit of snow. Last year Lane had a ball playing in the snow. This year he could care less! This is Lane and his buddy, Miller, trying to break back into the house!
Lane is by far the funniest kid I have ever known!! One day, Chris and I decided to take him to our favorite park. Lane wanted to swing, so we put him in and started pushing. Shortly after he got into the swing, he looked like he had fallen asleep. I asked Chris if he thought Lane was asleep and then took these next two pictures. Then out of know where, Lane's head popped up and he yelled out "HAAA!" Chris and I died laughing!! Lane pulled off his first joke! :D

silly boy!

Random Christmas Videos

Lane received his first Christmas present from Gigi and Papa Rock early - his first tricycle!

One of Lane's favorite games to play with Gigi and Papa Rock!

"That was so much fun! Let's do it again!!"

"One more time please!"

Dancing!

Christmas Day

Lane woke up Christmas morning obviously not knowing what to expect. He took awhile to check out everything Santa brought and go through his stocking. He really just wanted to eat some yogurt! As soon as he saw his rocking horse though, he loved it. Well, he loved pressing the ears to make the noise, but he did get on the horse several times.

Santa also brought Lane his very own chair and a couple sets of books.

Opening stockings....

After all the presents were opened, Papa Rock made Lane his favorite toy - a cardboard box fort complete with a drawstring door!

Stocking stuffers and Santa gifts

Already talking on the phone while driving!

2009 Santa pic!

Lane was TERRIFIED of Santa this year. Santa had to hide and Lane needed both of us to sit with him to calm him down. Too funny!!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we spent the night at my parents house. My Memaw and Papaw were also there from Houston. Our tradition is to open presents on Christmas Eve after dinner and open stockings and gifts from Santa on Christmas morning. As you can see from the first picture, Lane was a REALLY good boy this year! ;)

Lane with all his presents.

FISH!! I know this is suppose to be an infant crib toy, but the boy LOVES fish!!

Probably the favorite toy! Thanks Memaw and Papaw! He climbed in and immediately started making car noises.

Who needs a door to get in a car?
