Lannie's one liners...

*You LOVE to unpack the pantry to get animals crackers from the bottom shelf. Then when you get them out, you pack everything back in!
*You love music…when you hear it, you raise your hands to the sky and bounce your bod up and down and raise your hand up to the sky! You love to do this action especially at church!
*You know sign language…here are some of your favorites to do: please, more, all done, milk. You can understand these signs: banana, apple, cookie, thank you (you smile when we do this sign for you), help.
*You weren’t so much into this game when you were younger, but at 11 months you love the game peek-a-boo!
*You have transformed from easy going babe to mind of my own, independent toddler! I tried to wean you at 13 months but you wouldn’t have it. It was quite a challenge to get you to take whole milk…but persistence and patience won out (aka Mommy) and now you can’t get enough of the stuff…which now brings a new problem!
*When you were 9 months old, Nessa fed you grass. She did it once, and then decided to show us your new trick! When she showed us, we said “NESSA! Don’t feed your sis grass!” Which was the exact moment that she started patting you on the head trying to get you to spit it out! It was like she was patting Porter on the head to make her drop a toy!!
*After your bath one night, I laid you on the bathroom floor on a towel and gave you some toys to play with while I gave Preston and Nessa a bath. You love, LOVE, LOVE being naked! You scooched yourself off the towel and laid on your tummy on the cool floor…when I picked you up you were soaked…at first I thought it was because you were in the tubby’s splash zone. Then I discovered that you had gone potty all over the floor! Time for bath #2 of the night!

* “Mommy, I think I will love you forever, and then, forever more!”
*M-“Preston, you don’t need to give that to Nessa just because she cried.”
P-“Yah, I know, but her crying was hurting my ears. I just wanted her to stop, so that’s why I shared!”
* “Daddy, is it hard to drive a car?”
