16 Months

16 months we have had this cute little girl. It simply is crazy that she is 16 months old. She is getting so big. I mean, look at this picture. Yikes! She is growing up so much.

Our little valentine all dressed up for church.Alayna is continuing to amaze us with all that she is learning. Although she hasn't taken off with the talking, she is learning a few words here and there.

Easton, All done or done, bye, moo, wee, and (heaven forbid) no, are a few that she has added to her vocabulary.

I keep waiting for the day that she just starts talking in complete sentences. Or at least two or three word sentences. I know that's how it will be.

Annie continues to be the movie of choice in our house. We watch it (or rather dance to it) at least once, but most of the time twice a day. And just so you don't think that I am a bad mother, she mainly is playing at the same time and tunes in for the song and dance parts.

I am a musical lover myself, so I am pretty darn happy that this is the movie that I have to see day in and day out, rather than some kid cartoon.

Alayna has even managed to convince Easton of the wonderfulness of Annie. He asks for it now when he walks in the door.

This is a reoccurring scene. The two little buddies hanging out...watching Annie and coloring. They really do love each other, even if there are a few tears here and there. Alayna even says his name now, which I am jealous of since she still has yet to really address me as mama. Sigh. (She says the word, just not really in reference to me.)

While part of this last month, our little Layna was sick (it really is so sad to watch your little one be sick), we still did manage to capture a few smiles.

Playing "horsey" with Daddy.

Hanging out and eating some candy with Aunt Sarah.

Just playin' at home. I don't know why, but I love this photo of her. She's not even looking at the camera, but I love that little face.

Oh, how we love this sweet little girl, with attitude.
