Some of Lainie's favorite things

Lainie truly is such a joy to have around. We absolutely love this sweet girl and enjoy every second we have with her. She is at such a fun age and is always making us laugh. It really is amazing how quickly she is changing these days. She loves music and will sing and dance all the time. Now, Justin and I love music too, but we certainly don't have the dance moves like Lainie does! :) She has learned so many things at school this year, but I definitely think songs are her number one priority when it comes to what she learns and brings home to teach Mommy and Daddy. She can do the hand motions and sing to.....

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
If You're Happy and You Know It
Jesus Loves Me
This Little Light of Mine
The Wheels on the Bus
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
The B-I-B-L-E
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
She is so cute to watch and constantly is wanting us to sing the songs to her so she can do the motions.

She also LOVES to read, which must come from Mommy because her Daddy is definitely not a big reader. She brings books to me all day long and wants me to read to her. She loves to look at the pictures and point out the different things on the pages.

She has learned lots of animal sounds....duck, cow, dog, lion, tiger, lamb, etc. Her favorite sound to make is the ROAR!!

Lainie still loves her baby doll and is definitely a nurturer! She will take her baby and lay it on the speaker in our den so she can change her diaper, wipe her nose, wash her hands and wash her face. She will take the wipes and diapers over there and just take such good care of her baby. She will also do this with Lambie. She loves jewelry, but big beaded necklaces are her favorite!

She is talking more and more every day and will try to say anything you ask her to say. She will say "hey" and wave to anyone. She still will talk jibberish, but is throwing more "real words" in the mix now.

As far as physical activity goes, she is jumping off the ground constantly, running all over the place, climbing everywhere, and still loves to play ball. She has more energy that she knows what to do with, but is sweet as she can be! We are blessed!!
