Lana is 5 Months Old

Lana turned 5 months yesterday. She is a lovely little person to have in our family. She adores her brother and always wants to see what he's doing. Steve and I can make her laugh but she doesn't laugh as much for anyone or anything than for her brother. She thinks Clark is the funniest person alive. It is so sweet to hear her crack up at his antics. In fact, I couldn't get her to smile for these pics so I invited Clark to come help and she was all smiles after that. She often clasps her hands together but when she's sitting in the Bumbo her arms are straight out to the sides. For 3 weeks now she's been pushing her legs up into a crawling position and last week she started rocking. It won't be long before she figures out how to get moving.

Clark is very sweet with his sister and quite often does "tummy tummies" with her. He always makes sure she has a toy--usually cars--and uses his baby voice to talk to and explain things to her. He likes to help change diapers and hold her and gets excited when she wakes up from naps. This afternoon when he heard her wake up from naptime he raced upstairs shouting, "Lana! I'm coming for you, Lana!"
