Coates Family: October 2007

Sorry everyone. I have returned to work and hardly have a free minute. I tried to update the blog the other night while Lacey was napping. Unfortunately, she did not sleep long enough. I am trying again. This time she is sitting on my lap. Cleve had to take her half way through.

It is amazing how much she is growing.

Cleve bought Lacey this tiger at Sam's Club. I tried to get a cute photo of her and the tiger but it is so much larger than she is. Look at her little belly. On Tuesday Cody broke his collar bone. He fell while doing some skateboard trick off a ramp. He is doing fine and getting a lot of attention from the girls at school. He had a doctor's appointment today. I had them weigh Lacey while we were there - 16 pounds !!!!! I could not believe it.

Lacey loves her Rainforest bouncer. She is finally big enough to enjoy it. I use to have to put a box under her so she could bounce.

She will be bouncing and all of a sudden her eyes get heavy and she is asleep.

October 8th

When I get home from work I don't want to put her down.

Mom came and looked after Lacey the week I went back to work. It was hard to leave her but I knew she was in good hands. I kind of enjoyed going back. I found it hard to talk. I was so use to talking in baby language. We have been very blessed to find an awesome babysitter for Lacey. I leave for work around 5:15am. Cleve gets Lacey ready in the morning and drops her off to the sitter at 10am. I pick her up at 3:15pm. The sitter is the sister-in-law of a friend of ours from church. My original sitter was not able to look after her. I found this out the week Lacey was born. I was so worried. Cleve and I checked out the local daycare. I cried when we left. I am so glad she is able to be at someones house. Lacey is the only child there other than the lady's 4 year old son who is in preschool.

Lacey loves to laugh and smile. I love to kiss her feet and she just smiles and jiggles. I love it.
