There are certain phrases that Laina says that I find particularly hilarious. “Easy, mama” was one of the first phrases she said so we have heard it many times. I was reminded the other day, though, just how funny it is I guess for anyone to hear this little voice […]

Every month or so, my mom uses her comp time to spend some time with Laina during the week. All three of us look forward to these days. Laina gets soo excited to see her Grammy–I would say that she spends at least half of the time laughing when they […]
Several weeks ago (on Laina’s 18 month bday), I made some play dough for us to play with. I made sure to say “us” because I happened to enjoy it too! Laina was pretty fascinated by the texture of the play dough, and spent a lot of time studying it, […]
The other day Laina and I met a few friends at Dairy Godmother in Del Ray…it is probably the best custard I’ve ever had (maybe second to Kline’s in Harrisonburg!) Laina has tried ice cream a couple times, but never had her very own dish. She loved her vanilla custard, […]
A couple weeks ago, the three of us headed to Gravelly Point on Saturday to watch the airplanes take off/land. Laina already was very interested in airplanes, but after this trip, her interest grew! She was really excited, but also pretty overwhelmed by the whole experience. When the planes were […]
Tumbles. Jimmy. Slide. Jump. Swing. Zach. Roll. Tumbles. Run.This was another “story” I heard the other day after Laina’s JW Tumbles class. We’ve been doing it for almost 2 months now…and Laina has really enjoyed it most days. Here are a few pics.
A few days ago, Laina took the shortest nap EVER (!!) and we didn’t really have anything planned for that afternoon, so we decided to walk to the playground. On our walk, we ran into a grandmother and her 6 year old granddaughter, Jackie, and three year our granddaughter, JuJu […]
I’m sitting here asking myself how it is possible for Laina to already be a year and a half old. I remember running into a woman in our neighborhood while Laina and I were out for a walk one day when Laina was just a few months old (back when […]
Laina has been saying the names of her her family, her dolls and her stuffed animals for a while, but she recently has shown more of an interest in calling everyone else by their name too. She has been practicing the names of her little friends as well as our […]
Laina has her favorites. Her favorite foods, her favorite words, her favorite books, her favorite parts of the playground, her favorite signs….and her favorite stuffed animal! My (second) cousin Dianne gave Laina this adorable, fluffy, cuddly, teddy bear named Snoodles. From the description, one might think Snoodles is also my […]
