Miss Lainey is 9 (and a half) months old! It's been an eventful month with her first Christmas celebrations. I have to say never have I ever met a baby so happy on such little sleep. With a week+ of napping in odd places or skipping all together she not once had a melt down. Not once! She smiled through it all.

It was so surreal having Lainey in our family this Christmas. Years and years of praying and wishing for a baby and to finally have her here was a dream. I can't even tell you how fun it was to open adorable outfits and girl toys for her. Dream come true!
Lainey's vocabulary continues to grow and he is attempting to mimic many sounds. So far she says Mama, Dada, Bubba (Brother), Yeah, kind of says 'All done'. She is waving, doing 'so big', claps when we say 'yeahh!', kisses and copys lots (stick out tongue, vibrate lips, clicking tongue, etc.). She has two bottom teeth now as well. She pulls up to things on her knees but has not figured out how to stand yet. Totally ok with that!

We are definitely seeing more of Lainey's personality. She is a fairly quiet baby with not many outbursts. She likes to be around the action and observe and take it in. She's very laid back and easy going. She is cuddly and has bright blue eyes that say a whole lot. She seems like a wise old soul in a little body....but that's coming from her Momma! ;) She smiles all the time and is very photogenic but doesn't laugh easily. Lainey is easily distracted by sound and likes to know what's going on and who is around.
