She might not be walkin'..........




but this ponytail does all of the talkin'!

Laney Rae is 13 months today. And although I think she still has a while before she is walking, she can wear a ponytail! For my two girls, that is a huge accomplishment since they are mostly bald their first two years of life.

Laney Rae has been taking steps here and there, but crawling seems a lot more convenient to her and a lot less work. I've heard it takes bigger babies a little longer to walk. We'll see.

I love her squishiness! That is my favorite thing about her. My other favorite thing about her is that she bounces to any beat or song. The girl has rhythm!

Laney Rae also says 'hi' and waves 5 million times a day. I love it!

She loves animals and they seem to love her back. 'Rowdy' has taken on the role as her protector. Whenever she is outside, he is right there with her.


She is precious. At first, I thought it was just me who instantly started laughing with just one look at her. But, it is pretty much everyone in her life or any ole' random person at the grocery store. She is a JOY!

I remember when she was in my belly praying that she would be a joy for all to be around. The Lord heard my prayers because this little girl is full of giggles and has plenty of things to giggle about.
