Laney says the darndest things.

Laney has been quite the comedian lately. I was reminded by a friend of mine that I need to write it all down so I won't forget all of the funny things she is saying/doing these days. So I decided to just write a blog about it.

She has been very interested in body parts lately and I have been explaining to her in the best way possible what each body part is. She will point to a body part and say "whats this" and my response is, "that's your booty", or "those are mommies boobies...you have them too, they are right there"...so on and so forth.
This morning she was in the middle of the living room floor with her hands on her hips and was shaking back and forth. She looked very sassy might I add! I asked her what she was doing and she said "shaking my boobies". I am sure she was really trying to say booty and not boobies...either way it was hilarious!!

We were at the grocery store the other day and as we were walking down the aisle she would point at the bread for instance and say"bye bye bread...see ya mornin". She did this for just about everything she saw.

She is all about the word "like" lately and uses it all day long...for example...."Mommy, I wike doda(dora)" "Mommy, I wike Gacie(Gracie). Anything you can think of, she likes it and tells me about it ALL DAY LONG!

She can count to 10 in spanish(thanks to Dora). It sounds a little something like this. "Uno, dosh, tres, paco, cinco, sees, seta, ocho, nuebe, dieshhhhhhh. Soooo cute in her little voice.

She talks about what she sees and hears all day long...for example...if Gracie is crying she says "mommy, I hear Gacie" or if daddy pulls in the driveway "mommy, I hear daddy." When we are out walking she points at everything and says "I see trees" "I see green" "I see lello(yellow). She know most of her colors and points them out everywhere!!

She associates people with who they belong to...for instance, if I am talking about Kiki(my mom) she responds by saying "JJ(my dad), Gagi(Lexi), Jekas(jessica) and down the list she goes. If I am talking about grammie(Rocky's mom) she knows she belongs to papa(Rocky's dad).

She is also a man's girl. When we see Papa and Grammie, she always wants papa first and the same goes for JJ and Kiki. Its cute now but we might be in for it when she hits her dating years.
The other day we were in church and she told Rocky "color here daddy" he colored and she shouted "GOOD GIRL DADDY". We are still working on genders...lol.

While we are talking about church....she has spent a couple of weekends with Papa and Grammie and as some of you know Papa is a preacher. One Sunday morning after Papa finished his sermon she clapped and said "Yay Papa!!" She must have been really listening!

My parents have 4 horses. Becca is brown, Phillipe is tan, Sonny is brown, and Reese is paint colored. She LOVES going out and seeing the horses. She points to each one of them and says "becca, phipe, sonny, and COW!" Since Reese is a paint she looks like a cow to her even though she is a horse. She has recently started calling her Reese and now knows the difference between Reese and an actual cow, but I really wish she would keep calling her cow...its just too precious!!

I am sure there are many more but it is late and my brain is fried. Good night...see ya mornin!

Prayers

I know it has been forever since I have posted and I really have no other excuse other than when I realized I was behind it would have been harder for me to catch up. So then I just decided to take a break from blogging for a while. Well, I am back because I need you guys!!!!

I am calling all of you prayer warriors out there to lift my family up in your prayers. We are approaching our first deployment together. Rocky will be leaving for Afghanistan next month and will be gone for a year. I think I have cried all the tears I can cry. I knew that this would eventually happen and actually thought I was prepared for it! What I was not prepared for is, trying to explain to my now 2 YEAR OLD(WOW) why daddy is gone for a year. She is such a daddy's little girl and her whole face lights up when he is in the room. What is comforting to me is the fact that technology is so advanced these days that we will be able to talk to him via skype and the internet. So please, when saying your prayers, if you would send up a little prayer for Rocky's safety, my sweet girls, and me. We are so proud of our Soldier and are grateful for all the men and women that serve this country and sacrifice themselves FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!

Also, for those of you who don't know...we welcomed Gracie Beth Whitely into this world on February 8, 2010. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz, 21" long, and had a full head of dark brown curly hair!! Pictures coming soon!!
