Laney turned one two days ago and we just cannot quite believe it! Laney you are a sweet spitfire. You let us know what you are after and you have some hilarious moves! You just loved your spaghetti and meatballs birthday dinner and your first cupcake too! Owen helped decorate your cherry cupcakes. Grandma and Grandpa came to dinner and Gramp celebrated from far away. So many people left birthday comments on momma's Facebook and I will try to print them out for your scrapbook.
Your doctor appointment for 1 year well check is later today so I will have to update with your latest stats, but you are wearing 12-18 month clothes and keep fluctuating between size 3 and 4 diaper. You got your first pair of shoes earlier this month and enjoy them a lot, tapping and standing. You love to pinch and say "ow" as you are doing it. You sign "more" and "milk" so we are practicing all done, water, eat, book and ball. You say thank you, and copy lots of words you hear. It is so cute to hear you say daddy and Hi owie. A few weeks back you were calling daddy "daddoo" a lot but seem to have let that go. Luckily we taped it. Now where to back up all the audio files?
You love to giggle and laugh and lately have been arching your back into a backbend position and throwing your head back a lot.
You play the instruments more on your own at music class with Ms. Moira and just this week have a new facial expression that is so funny- you furrow your eyebrows and look so mad! The nose scrunch expression seems to be gone. You took a step a couple weeks ago but nothing since, just lots of walking with us holding your hands and standing on your own for several moments. You can stand up on your own but don't love using the rolling walkers. Soon enough, my dear.
We have several pix and some video from your birthday dinner to post soon. You received great duplo blocks from tia Kim, a fun
coin bank from Grandma and Grandpa, your own paper garbage truck from Owen, and new socks, maple arrowroot cookies,and a banana toothbrush teether from momma and daddy. Happy birthday Laneygirl!
