Some kinds of cute!

Lanaya has been doing the cutest things recently.

1. She squishes up her nose and inhales and exhales sharply.  This is when she's being silly, frustrated, excited or anything else.  She just enjoys doing it apparently.  We think it's hilarious!

2. Laya likes to play peek-a-boo.  If she sees a blanket, a piece of clothing or even an hair elastic that's thick enough for her to think she can hide behind it, she is covering her face until you say, "Where's Laya?" enough times for her to uncover herself and surprise you.  Most of the time, she isn't really even covering her face, but she's lifting the item over her head until you say it none the less.

3. She has started to put her hands in front of her with her palms up - like she's wanting you to give her whatever you are holding.  I thought that's all this was, until she does it to be picked up, to eat, to show excitement or anything else.  It's just a fun thing for her to do apparently.

4. Lanaya climbs onto the bottom bunk of the boys bed.  No problem.  She just gets on up and plays with their stuffed animals.  So far, she hasn't even tried to get down, but I've sure had a heart attack a few times when she's playing a little too close to the edge for my comfort.

5. She has decided to take after her big brother Benson and play in the toilet.  All bathroom doors are to be shut at all times now.  This is NOT a favorite thing - and I most definitely don't find it cute.

6. Lanaya is my first baby who has fallen in love with blankets, in general.  Saryn loved her bankey wowers, but it was exclusive.  Laya likes any soft fuzzy blanket and gets super excited if you even are walking towards her with one.  She grabs it, snuggles in and has the happiest face on - ever!

7. She has discovered her ability to click her tongue.  As long as she's not upset about something, if you make a click with your tongue, she'll do it back - and do it for a long time, most emphatically.  This is a very fun toy!

8. She says "Wow" in such a cute, high pitched, sweet sounding voice that it melts your heart.  I could be happy listening to it all day long!

Lanaya has just been the greatest joy!  She is starting to play strange with most people.  She definitely is a Mommy's girl... but will go to Kienna, and then Daddy if needs be.  She generally would prefer to keep it to just the three of us.  She is super smiley, her hair is a little curly and she just melts my heart with everything she does!
