Our Little Angel's Almost 1


In honor of Laynee's upcoming birthday we threw her an early birthday bash. We had our family and a few friends come over and made a night of it with cupcakes and all that jazz. Laynee loved the chocolate and the caramel....reminds me of her daddy. She got loads of toys with all sort of fun buttons to push and puppy dogs galore!!! This little girl LOVES dogs - her first word was dad then dog so that shows you the priority there. Little Laynee and big Uncle Travis share the same birthday so it makes the day a double dose of fun. I'm so grateful for the fun that Titan and his little angel have brought into my life. Here are a few of the things that we can't get enough of from our little Laynee angel....

* her little crooked smile

* the way she gets so excited and nearly yells dad and dog when she sees either...and when dad starts barking like a dog...well then we can't decide which one to call him anymore :)

* her little giggles

* the way she can be amused for hours by playing peek-a-boo with her daddy....and the fact that her daddy will run out the back door, around the house, then through the front door just to play an extreme version of peek-a-boo.

* her little lisp when she talks....she's learning new words every day & is a great mimick.....right now we've got down dad, dog, eyes, k, dont, no, oops, skye, oww, and nose.

* her little pouty lip....her and her dad sit there and get a pouty face that melt my heart so they get pretty much whatever they want.

* she is such a cuddle bug....dad pulls her into bed with us in the mornings and she just snuggles and grins and gives hugs...it makes it very hard to get out of bed.

* how much she loves bath time and splashing in the big tub. All Titan has to say is bath time and she takes off into our bedroom and right up to the big tub waiting for Titan to start the water.

* Her little "uhh"'s when she's trying to get your attention

* She has now learned to "teach" me to do things and then she'll clap for me.

* How her favorite place to fall asleep is on her daddy's big shoulders. If she is ever fussy or having a hard time going down for a nap I hand her to Titan and she is out in about 2 seconds.

* She sings along with the radio with Titan and me.

* She LOVES pasta and peaches and bananas

* How much she loves her puppy dogs

* How much she loves animals of all sorts

* How she growls back at Titan when he growls to scare her

* How she loves drumming on pots and pans

* How she's learning to play games with her dolly....she'll give her a bottle and last week I heard her giggling so I went around the corner to find her sitting her dolly down and then she'd crawl behind the door and poke her head out and growl at her dolly then laugh and laugh.

* She loves giving kisses to everyone! Her daddy worries a little because a majority of these seem to be open mouthed kisses already.

* Her loves and hugs she gives.

* Her funny little sense of humor. She'll do the opposite of what you tell her and just giggle.

* How she gets loopy and giggly as she gets tired.

* She wakes up smiling and ready to play with dad even before he's quite ready to wake up yet.

* How friendly she is....she never met a stranger she doesn't wave and smile and flirt with.

* How she mimicks Titan's laugh when she hears him....if you've heard his laugh you know that's not an easy thing to do.

* She'll fake cough and sneeze if me and Titan start talking and aren't paying enough attention until we let her into the conversation.

There are so many fun little things she does and says and everyday there seems to be more. We love you little angel!
