Turning 30

I turned 30 this week...wow, that was a weird birthday to swallow. Not bad, just can't believe I'm 30! I spent the day with my favorite sweeties. But that isn't the only milestone we had this week, Laney had a pretty big one herself. She LOVES the dogs and cats both!! Sadie and Jo, however, both have learned that Laney now either pokes them in the eyes or grabs and doesn't let go. So Jo only will get close enough when Laney is really mellow, and Sadie just runs in really fast for a fly by kiss, which really frustrates Laney. The only one who seems to really enjoy the grabbing without letting go is Howdy, he loves her!! Well Sunday I was sitting on the floor and Laney was sitting on my thigh with her feet touching the ground, and Sadie walked by. Laney started getting all excited and was reaching for Sadie to come over so she could pet her. Well Sadie stayed just out of reach and Laney started getting a little frustrated. She made some louder demands and flapped her arms all around, and then she just stood up! Yep, just stood up! I told Scott to look really quick but he thought that I'd helped her, so I sat her back down and up she went again! She stood there for a minute or two all by herself, I just held her from falling over forward onto her face. She is changing by the second. She still loves the raspberry sounds she can make, and she can finally hold her teether ring at the right angle to get it in her mouth without hitting herself in the face. She just amazes us constantly.
