Laina has known some of her friends since she was only a few months old, and I think it’s been so cool to watch their relationships develop over time. Oliver and Laina see each other at least a couple times a week, so they have a very comfortable relationship. They […]

Laina really gets a kick out of Sameh. She loves to watch him jump and dance, and then try to imitate him. In fact, many times when she is jumping up and down she says, “Just like Sameh!” They play really well together, and have spent many days this summer […]
for Grammy, that is. We got to spend much more time with Grammy this summer, and Laina was in heaven. On our last day with Grammy, we tried to make it extra special. We spent the morning in Shirlington playing with the fountains, reading at the library and listening to […]
Last week, Laina and I met our friends at Old Mine Ranch for the morning. It was so fun to watch Laina experience a few “firsts.” She had her first pony ride and got to feed farm animals for the first time. She also had her first hayride which she […]

So…we decided that it was time to venture out and choose a potty for Laina today because she has been showing us signs that she is ready to start this new chapter of her life. We just weren’t sure if we were quite ready for it! The three of us […]
A dear friend of ours, Kerry, came to visit a couple weekends ago. It had been entirely way too long since we had seen each other–and she hadn’t met Laina yet. We had such a fun time catching up, and it was great to see Laina interacting with her–they were […]
Most mornings, Sam and I get to wake up to what we feel is the sweetest noise in the world. These days, our alarm clock is listening to Laina chat, sing, and play with her “friends” in her crib. Most mornings, she plays in her crib for about an hour…and […]
is one of Laina’s favorite things to do right now. LOVES it. Especially when her older friends are by her side doing it with her. At our play date the other day, Katy, Nicole and I got to watch the girls do several rounds of it. It was too cute […]
