Reese is a great big sister and is really going with the flow. She is not showing any jealousy even though Mommy is spending a lot of time with baby Lane. Here is what Reese has to say about Lane, and I quote:
He's a baby
He's little
He's a boy
He is cute
I like him
He is hungry (when he cries, she says this)
He is sleeping
He is drinking (when Mommy nurses, she says this)
I want to kiss him (and she kisses him on the head)
I want to kiss him (and she kisses him on the head)
At school for show and tell, she showed a skirt from her bag and said, "My skirt has hearts on it. Mommy is at home. She is feeding baby Lane."
Lane with his Great Grandma Ruth.
Love all the things he does with his arms! Reminds me of Reese.
Looking back at pictures of Reese, they really do favor each other as babies.
This pacifier shot reminded me of Reese too.
Loving on Mommy at home.
Yes, he can breathe, but I don't let him sit like this for long. 
PaPa Larry and Grandma Dana came to visit the Thursday we got home from the hospital.
Reese and Dana played the Dora Memory game.
Reese's first time to hold Lane ~ it lasted about 30 seconds ~ enough for me to get 3 great pictures! I love her smile and how her hand is on his head.
Adoring him with her hand on her cheek.
Reese looks like such a big girl! I didn't realize it until I saw her with Lane. She has really grown up right before our eyes.
Daddy with his Boos. Yes, we call Lane Boo too; sometimes it confuses Reese because she thinks I am talking to her. Can't help it, but I am sure he will get his own nicknames too! I already warned him.
Lane with his PaPa.
On Friday of our first week, my friend Rachel came over and spent the afternoon with us.
He loves to curl up - just like when he was in the womb.
What a beautiful boy! Love those eyes!
MaMa Pat also came over that day.
Ah, must be ready to eat again!
See how he tucks those legs under him. So cute! Matt was worried Lane might me uncomfortable and I told him that is how he was in the womb, so he likes it.
We took some trips to the park. Matt and Reese played soccer while Lane and I strolled around the track.
Matt spent a lot of quality time with Reese - one day they went to the park 3 times!
One night, Reese decided to read to Lane. She loves to read and has memorized a lot of her books and reads them to herself. Of course we also read to her every night. Last night, I was reading to her while nursing Lane (yes, I can multi-task) and I mis read the sentence saying, "Howdy, my name is Sally!" Reese said, "It's not Howdy! It's Hi! Mater says Howdy, not Sally" She was right! I could not believe she could remember that. We have not read the Cars books in a few weeks.
Gigi spent the second week with us which was a tremendous help! We took Reese and Lane to the park one day, and Reese enjoyed going around in circles on her trike.
Some random iPhone pictures of Lane taken when the camera was out of reach.
More park time with Daddy, Reese and Lane.
Matt and Reese discovered this little park only a few blocks from our rent house.
Reese loves the dolphin!
And the whale.
A cheesy grin!
Play-doh time! Thank you MaMa Pat ~ it is a hit.
Lane loves to put his fingers in his mouth. 
Chillin' in the boppy.
Sweet feet! So tiny!!!
Lane with his GiGi.
We received a yummy delivery from my friend Shelley. What a treat for us all!
Look at those little legs!
Time to dig in to the cookies! Reese loved 'em, so did I!
Perfect for dipping in milk!
On Thursday, October 28th, we took Lane for his 1 1/2 - 2 week appointment. He weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces and was at least an inch longer.
Love those spontaneous smiles!
Bath time ~ we are still doing sponge baths on the bed. Maybe next week I'll try the little tub. I remember with Reese, I didn't give her a real bath until 6 weeks or so.
Lane's first time in the bouncer! I think Reese had more fun than Lane. ;)
On the 30th, we celebrated Chris' birthday over breakfast at Empire Cafe. Aunt Sharon finally got to meet Lane.
Later that day, we got a visit from our friends Nolan and Wendy who were in Houston for the night for a wedding.
Lane's first time to enjoy his mobile.

Matt and I feel like Lane has been a part of our family forever. Guess that means we are all adjusting well and simply cannot imagine life with out Lane in it.
As you can see, we've taken a million pictures and are just loving being with Reese and Lane!
I finally got a chance to get them all uploaded for you! Now I need a nap, but it's time to feed Lane again. :)
