"Happy Birthday Mommy, Happy Birthday Mommy"

Summertime has finally hit, full force! Thank goodness! We have no spring whatsoever, it went from 41 to 91 and has stayed in the high 80's low 90's ever since. My 32nd birthday was last Wednesday...and Laney sang me happy birthday. It went a little like this "happy birday mommy, happy birday mommy, happy birday mommy, happy birday uncle, happy birday daddy, happy birday mommy." Then she gave me a big hug and told me "wuv you too" :) so pretty much the cutest "birday" present ever! Some of the funny things coming out of her this week "Nokie's a bad ol' cat", "I'm sick 'n' tired of Molly eating my shoes", "I'm freakin' out", "I can't help myself" (when she can't do it by herself) and "Tana's a pink baby"...not sure what that one means, but she says it when Tana's naked. She is beginning to want to tell time. When I lay her down for a nap, we read a story and then I let her read to herself for 5 minutes. I point on the clock where the big hand will be in five minutes and tell her she has to put her book down and sleep when it gets there...it hasn't failed yet ;) Tana had her 6 month check up, she was 19 1/2 pounds and 27 1/2 inches long...still in the 98th percentile. My arms are pretty buff these days.
