waving

bye-bye ... it's at the very end, the beginning of the video drags a little, but she's so cute when she waves!

11 months

She's so big now, it's getting easier to see her as a 1 year-old. She crawls around, walks a lot when supported by a person or a piece of furniture, and I'm convince is growing in her vocabulary.

Facial expressions are still her favorite to show.



And, what you've all been waiting for: Laney crawling!

I go out walkin'...

lots of changes

Laney has, in the past week, made some major jumps towards being a "toddler" and leaving her baby days behind. She crawls a lot now, and keeps us more aware of her while she's playing, since we have to stop her from fireplaces and computers and so on.

She loves her Daddy, and says his name a LOT more than she says mine. She smiles her huge smile every day when he comes home from work, and laughs more with him. I am a little jealous, but I get a lot more time with her. During the day.

One of her new tricks is going to a toy basket, laundry basket, anything that's full and neatly organized, just so she can pull everything out. I told her that wasn't nice and she should help me put it back, but she wasn't interested :)

crawling and laughing

Laney "scoots" more than anything, but it's really cute and you can tell she's right on the edge of going all out! Although, she seems to like walking better than being on all fours.



It's so funny to me that she laughs without changing her expression.

This next one is of Gramma and Laney, it was taken a while back... almost two months ago. Laney looks so big in her arms! She loved being there, and always smiled around Gramma. I hope we can go again soon.

10 months

Laney is standing a lot these days, but only when propped. She can hold on to furniture and things her size for a really long time. She prefers it to sitting. She walks really fast when you hold her hands and giggles a lot when you play "ride little pony."

Getting her to just sit was a bit of a difficulty. She scoots a lot... hopefully I'll be able to post a video soon. She can work her way to the other side of the room, but still hates to be on all fours.

9 months

So, she's officially been in the real world as long as she was alive in me! She's so big now, long and still so adorable. We're not sure where she gets her height from, but we'll take it.


She can stand up really well when we prop her against toys and furniture. She is learning to pull up by herself.
She gets on all fours and rocks, but doesn't to any crawling. She just rolls onto her back and "asks" to get up.
We still love that smile! She gets "teased" or embarrassed when you make sounds that she is making. Lately, she's been clicking her tongue a lot and screeching when she's happy.
