Laney - 18 Months

Little Miss Laney, you are 18 months old today.  Your sassy, spunky personality shines more and more every day!  Our baby is turning into a little girl right before our eyes and not sure we are ready for that.

You are our princess who wants what you want and will let everyone around you know.  If you go to your Dad, you usually get it too.  You are starting to figure that one out.  You love to cuddle at bedtime with your blankie and paci.  Yes, we still have a pacifier.  We are working on that one and only use it at bedtime and sometimes in a car.  I thought about trying to break the habit a week ago and then thought with the crazy we are about to go through with moving maybe a comfort for her was not worth taking this moment.  (Mommy gave in, I know.)


Laney, you love your sleep still.  You just recently have started just one nap a day.  Some days you still get two depending on when you wake up.  You will let us know when you are tired and grab your blanket and bring it to us.

Food is a favorite of yours.  You will go in spurts about what you will and won't eat, but will ask for more of anything you like from the meal.  You always have found our pantry and will open and find your own food frequently.  You usually go for a piece of bread or tortilla, probably because they are located at your level.  We have had to start locking the pantry doors to keep you out of everything.  If anyone around you is eating you want o join in or have them share with you.  Same thing with drinks, you always seem to find my cup of water and claim it as your own.





You are our least vocal child when it comes to actual words anyway.  This is probably because someone else is always talking or just gets what you want without you needing to ask.  You are just starting to use words.  Your most common words are please, mom, and dad.  The other words are harder to understand but becoming more common.  She understands directions and words well though which helps.


You are our little girl, but you don't like to be left out with the boy stuff. You find dirt to dig in everywhere and prefer to be outside. You LOVE to wrestle with Dad and the boys.  You are going to be one tough little girl.  You are constantly picking at your brothers and seeing their reactions.  It is funny now, because we have realized you know what your doing and just like their attention.  You are catching on to things way to quickly in this department.




Laney you are our little sweetheart.  You are adored by us all and such a special little girl.  We love you so much!
