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 […]
…according to Sam. Well it turns out that Laina either heard him say this, or she just enjoys cleaning ;). I cant’ complain that this sudden interest is developing–I’ll take all the help I can get. She actually started doing this during the couple weeks we were all sick and […]

We met the MOMS group the other day at a nature center and it was a big hit! Laina got to see some turtles, snakes, fish, frogs, etc. She especially took a liking to a little turtle there–she kept smiling at him and touching the aquarium saying “tickle tickle tickle” […]
I’ve been meaning to post this picture for a while now because it is just too cute. A few times during the week, Laina and I get together with our friends to play. This is separate from the MOMS club where we get together with a larger group of kids–so […]
