Testing Testing...One two

Mommy bought me this great toy today.





After a little singing ... I watched my stuffed animal sing.

Good news and bad news

I have good news and bad news. On Friday mommy walked around the house with me with my walking wings. She took them off and the good news is that I still thought I had them on and walked right out the door to my bedroom! The bad news is that I went about 5 steps and fell right on my lip. My nose started bleeding a little bit which was scary for mommy but I was ok!







After dinner I played in the living room before I went to bed. I figured out that I can walk with my duck instead of riding it.

Hanging out in my diaper.

Look what mommy came home to today! I was having so much fun!

My Nana

My nana came over last night to see me before she left to go back to NY today. I love seeing her!

Yesterday

I did some more walking yesterday and walked right up to my parents window and like always I knocked and my mommy was home from work and opened the door. I walked right up to her desk and grabbed a Nordstrom bag that was on the ground (that had paper in it) and picked it up and walked back outside and around the pool with it! What do you think of my crazy hair style? Yes-this is another Laura style...mommy isn't quite sure how she will tell Laura not to do my hair like this when I go to school! :)





And these pictures are of me playing with some things that came in the mail yesterday. Mommy bought these ducks to put on the bathtub so that I don't slip. I had such a fun time putting them in a little duck bag that also came in the mail for my birthday party. In and out...in and out. Then I would hand it to my mom and dad and take it back and do it some more. This is what my hair looks like when mommy takes it down....crazy huh?




After all of that fun I played a game on the couch with daddy. He puts a blanket on his head and I get to take it off-and he makes a funny face. It cracks me up. We do this over and over and over and then daddy says "no more" and I take the blanket and put it in his lap and he will do it a few more times...I laugh so hard when he does this. My daddy is really funny.

This video is of me walking with my mommy's trash bag, making my birthday bags for my guests, and playing the game with daddy.

New things

Hi everyone. I wanted to tell you about a few new things going on with me.

I am starting to take a few steps all by myself. What fun. Mommy and daddy can not go anywhere with me without me trying to crawl down them so I can walk. I want to walk all of the time. If they don't let me I start crying. I also start crying sometimes if my parents won't let me go outside.

Mommy and daddy took me to go look at houses this weekend. Mommy gave me goldfish in the car and when I wanted another one I would just grunt 2 or 3 times and mommy would know to give it to me. I would smile while I was doing it.

My 5th tooth is getting kinda big! I also started a new thing..biting people. I try to bite my moms nose, her mouth, and I am biting my daddys finger in the picture below.

Another new thing that I do is I try to grab my mommys eyes and eyelashes. I do this to myself too...and sometimes I put my fingers on my teddy bears and dolls eyes. Mommy hopes this stops soon.

I am getting so much bigger-clothes are getting small again. Mommy and daddy took me to the Norstrom Bistro today and the waitress wanted to give me chocolate milk. I know I look big but inside I am still a little girl!

Mommy ordered a cake for me for my birthday today. She got a strawberry Neiman's cake which happens to be my daddy's favorite. I eat strawberry ice cream every night with my daddy.

I have been walking back and forth in the living room with my two walkers-one I got from Gigi for Christmas and one that my nana bought me. I like to put the dog balls and soccer ball in the little wagon on the walker and push it and watch them ride on it.

I also like to roll the soccer ball across the room to my mom and dad.

I am starting to copy what my parents say. My daddy said "kick kick kick" the other day and I started saying it too. That is my favorite phrase to copy. I also say Moo when my mommy and daddy say it when they read a book to me. My nana heard that one when she was babysitting me when my parents were out of town.

That is about it for now. My birthday is coming soon...I am really excited. Time has flown by so fast.








This is me wrestling with daddy. I get a little loopy when it is time to go to bed. Sometimes I just roll on mommy and then roll on daddy, and go back to mommy and back to daddy.

In Loving Memory

Kizzy-you cuddle bug you! You lived a long 16 years-and almost made it to 17.
We met when I was just 14. Heather, Kizzy was the best birthday present I have ever received.

I took you to college and made you live with many different cat and dog roommates that you always got along with. You used to love to walk outside and sit on my balcony of my first apartment. I can't believe I let you do that! We drove back and forth from Nacogdoches to Dallas so many times..you were such a good little car kitty!

After college I bought Kabookie...which made you mad and you wouldn't let me pet you for a week. I think you started sleeping in Whitney's room then! You came around when you realized you had a new friend too.

We moved in with Don and ever since you have lived with 3 more dogs... You always got along with the dogs. I always laughed when I found you in the dog beds-especially when they were in them too. Beauji liked to snuggle up to you when she was a puppy.

For some reason you were Layla's favorite. Her favorite thing to do was to point at you, pet you, and pull your hair out and look at it. Don always said he didn't like cats but I would catch him petting you in the kitchen, you on his lap, and he would put a cat bed down for you in the kitchen to make sure you were comfortable when you started losing weight.

I have known you for more than half of my life and things are just so different here without you. You were my first pet and you will never be replaced.
