Little Laney Bug

I am just sitting here posting pictures of Laney when she was a day old and I can't not believe that she is almost 17 months old. Where has the time gone? It feels like just months ago we were sitting in her nursery rocking her for the first time and now she won't even let you rock her at all. She would rather climb in the rocking chair and sit by herself. She has grown so much not only physically but mentally. She is now trying to repeat words that we say.. for instance.. banana, Laney, Elmo, Blue, Yellow (those are just a few of her favorites). She is counting to 3. She just carries on long conversations with us and of course we have no idea what she is saying. She just babbles and babbles. It cracks Landon and I up. She is our Love bug!! She loves giving kisses and hugs (this better not get her in trouble when she is older). She is such a joy in our lives and I am so blessed to get to spend days with her and watch her grow into a young girl (even though she will also be a baby to me).
