Movin' & a Cruisin'

Miss Laney gets around. She hasn't actually taken those crawl steps, but she is all over the place! She is getting faster and faster about reaching out, taking the plunge, not quite getting her legs to follow, lowering her belly for a quick rest, then pushing herself back on her butt. She will throw a toy then jump on to her hands, reach out and get it. She has so many expressions now, hundreds of little faces. I finally captured some of my favorites this time in pictures, but there are so many more that I seem to never quite get because her face changes so fast. She is getting ticklish under her armpits, but she almost laughs harder at the anticipation of getting tickled then when you are actually tickling her. She has such a little sense of humor too. Before Scott or I tickles her, we get a very straight face and act really serious, and you can just see in her face she knows whats coming, she'll raise an eyebrow and this smirk appears, then she starts to giggle and when you go in for the tickle she's already busting up! It's too cute. She has added a few "words" but I'm not sure what she's talking about yet..."naynaynay" "nahnahnah" and "babababa". "Mom" and "dad" are very clear now, she'll vary between "mama", "mom", "mum", "mommmomum", "dadda", "dad", "dadddy", and "dadada". She now sounds like she says "oh mommm" when she hugs me...melts me all over the place! She loves to click her tongue. She just plays and talks and clicks her tongue. She has started to make a question sound with her voice too. I'm not sure that she is connecting it with wondering about something, but it comes out when she's playing a lot. She is eating lots, loves her veggies!!! good girl!!! I made her fresh foods out of our neighbors garden and she loves it all, sweet corn, green beans, zucchini, she hasn't turned her nose up at anything except for bananas so far...she isn't too fond of those, but we keep trying.
