Happy 80th birthday Grammy!  I dressed Laney in a party dress today, and brought her to my mom's before going to dinner for Grammy's birthday dinner.  She loooked so adorable in a purple dress, white tights and sweater, black patent shoes and a hot pink hair clip!  Too bad she was in such a miserable mood.  I think that she gets upset when she sees us getting ready in the bathroom, maybe thinks that we are going to leave her again like when we go to work?  Anyhow, she started whining and crying when I was doing my hair and makeup and never really let up.  She was super crabby at my mom's house, only wanting to climb up and down the steps.  Fortunately, when we left her behind with Linda, she stopped crying quickly and was so sweet to Linda.  Linda reports that Laney played, babbled, and was delightful until about 8pm.  Then Linda noticed that she was so physically tired, that she put her to bed.   Laney layed right down and went to sleep without a protest.  I wish she had been in a better mood, but not every day can be awesome.

On a lighter note, we saw Christine yesterday for her birthday.  Laney and I dropped off the gift in the afternoon while Patrick was working, since we were all too sick to attend the family party on Sunday.  Laney only needed to sit on my lap for a minute before she wanted to get down and run around her house.  She loved playing with Chase, and would even run to Oma when Chase was coming after her, laughing and giggling all the way.  I was so happy to see Laney willingly go give Oma and Christine hugs and kisses yesterday.  She is getting more friendly and self confident every day.

Last night we went to PetSmart while we waited for our order at Mexico Viejo.  The fish tanks were at Laney's level and she got such a kick out of watching the fish swim around.  She kept tapping the glass and telling them hi.  Then we saw the rats and mice, and she told them all hi too!  They came to the glass and looked at her and she laughed so much!  I can't wait to take her to Sea World and the Zoo this summer.
