19 months. No way. I know I must sound so redundant, but it just doesn’t seem possible for time to pass by so quickly. Maybe it’s because we see Laina’s progression on a daily basis, so I witness how much changes in such a short period of time. Regardless, we […]

It’s unfortunate that we don’t live closer to Laina’s cousins (and aunt and uncle, of course!) They spent a few days in town recently, and we all had such a fun time watching all of the kids interact. It seemed that they instantly felt the family connection as they were […]
The other morning, Laina and I were eating breakfast together…and she was eating with a spoon that she had gotten as a favor from her friend’s birthday party. She looked at me and said, “Two years old…Sameh.” My jaw dropped (really). We had been talking about the different ages of […]
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 […]
