11 weeks

Wow I can't believe how fast the time goes by! Laney is already 11 weeks! This last week she really has increased her babbles and coos, and smiles. She sort of "laughs" now, she opens her mouth, squints her eyes, and squeals but it sounds like a squeaky chuckle :) Grandpa Tim came up for a night to visit and soak up Miss Laney. Laney is starting to really learn the word "shower". When you lay her on the changing table to get her undressed and she hears the water running, you ask her if she wants to take a shower, and she starts to kick her legs, wave her arms, smile, her eyebrows go way up, and she squeaks...yes that's right it's it's own unique sound :) She now has started to fuss and cry in the late evenings when it's time for a shower. Once you lay her on that changing table pad and ask her if she wants to take a shower, she immediately stops crying, and does her little shower song and dance :) She has really started to recognize her mobile friends more too. Her favorite friend is the buggy looking fellow on the vibrator chair. She loves him! She now does her initial hello smile and coo, then goes into this 10 minute long story where she stares at her friend the whole time and she waves her arms, her face gets all sorts of animated, and she talks and talks and talks. It is the funniest thing to watch. She also loves to "ride" on my shins...I lay on my back and lay her on my shins and move my legs up and down...she just lays there and smiles and relaxes...it's good for my abs too :) She is also now able to hold her body at a 90 degree angle when she is on her tummy. She just picks herself up and looks around. I really can't believe how fast she changes. Each day there is some new sound she makes or a new expression. We just love her to pieces.
