Today we took Bodie to his dermatology vet checkup this morning.  We were going to go to Sea World afterwards, but heard that it is very crowded right now, so decided to go next weekend instead.  Laney sat very quietly on Patrick's lap during the visit, and was so happy to have Bodie sitting next to her in the car.   When we got home she had a lot of fun snapping his collar together and pulling his leash around the room.  She loves to snap buckles together right now, but still says PEE when she wants us to open it again (PEE= please).  We have started giving her probiotics in her milk again, since she has been backed up loately, and only doing little hard pebble poops.  Hopefully this will help

Today I got to spend a lot of playtime with Laney.  I put on a Baby Einstein video for her, and she was very interested in what the kids were doing on the video.  She was saying ba-ee instead of baby when she saw little kids on the video.  She was very cuddly today, coming to sit on my lap often and nuzzle on my shoulder when she wanted to be close.  How sweet!

We towed her in the wagon to the park today, but she lost interested in playing very quickly. Maybe we will try another park tomorow.  On the plus side, she layed right down for diaper changing each time for me today.  

I made chicken piccata for dinner tonight, and got her to take a few bites.  She would lick the lemon sauce (which did turn out a little bitter) and make such a funny puckery face before taking the bite of chicken.   How I do love my funny little bug!  She likes to hide and peek around corners to see us.  She hasn't realized yet that her whole body is showing and we can see her-- a little of the "I can't see them so they can't see me" syndrome.  But she gets the most impish look on her face when she thinks she is playing a joke on us.  What a smart bug!

Happy anniversary mom and dad!  Today I got to sleep in until 8am.  Not that long ago I would have been horrified to wake up at 8 am (so early), but now it feels like a luxury.  Laney spent the night at my parents house, and got to spend some QT with Jessica, Gavin, and Sean.  They played with her, bathed her, and put her to bed.  She woke up in the middle of the night with a nightmare and wanted Sean and not Shesh!  This morning she followed my sister around the house.  What a sweetie!  Meanwhile, Patrick and I got to go to the movies last night and have some free time in the afternoon.  It is so nice to be relieved of duty sometimes...you sleep so much more deeply when there are no kids to listen for.

Laney started saying "bite" yesterday and "move".  She also says Be-it for Bridgette.  Laney is in love with her Cozy Coupe that she got for Christmas.  She rode it all around my mom's house last night and really loves to be pushed around in it. 

Tonight she was playing with her toys and I asked her if she wanted to go to bed, and she replied "no."  A few minutes later I asked her again and she said no, then I said yes, and then she said, no, etc.  HOw funny.  She is definitely starting to have a mind of her own.
