Laney Faith - 2 1/2 years

Well, she actually turned 2 1/2 the end of February, better late than never!

-The transition from crib to big girl bed has made naptime/bedtime exhausting!  One week she only napped one day!  Help!!!  She is napping most days for an hour-2 hours.  Usually not asleep until 8:30-9ish and usually up in the 7 o'clock hour.  Sleeps with her lovey and about a hundred other stuffed animals.

-She is a great eater!  In fact, she would eat all day long if I let her.  "I wanna eeeaaatttttt."  Hear these words all too often.  Lives for spaghetti, fruit and anything she shouldn't have :).

-The girl still won't sit still except for the rare occasion to watch a cartoon.  She always requests Dor-Dor (Dora) but usually watches less than 10 minutes.

-favorite toys - She plays with her babies all day everyday.  She feeds, burps, rocks, changes diapers, feeds them, you name it.  She plays so well independently-totally in her own world.

-The biggest change in her from 2 years to 2 1/2 years is her speech.  From February 1 to February 28, her vocabulary quadrupled or more!  Her speech really deserves its own post.  It's like all of a sudden a lightbulb went off and she started talking!!  

- Phew~this girl is exhausting!  She has got a mind of her own and doesn't really care what others think about it.  These days it seems to be Laney's way or the highway.

-On the other end-she is super sweet and loving to Adam and I.  She adores her baby sister-maybe a bit too much.  I definitely don't leave her in the same room as Piper without me.  

As exhausting as 2 1/2 years is, she is so awesome!  Laney makes us laugh everyday-make that every hour.  Seriously, the girl is hilarious!  I just love watching her personality develop!

 I took her out in the driveway on a very windy day for a few pics.  I had a hard time prying that baby out of her hands!

 Oh that sweet face!!!!!

Happy 2 1/2 Laney Faith Jones!!!!!
