Laneah got her last set of vaccinations for the coming 6 months and this time she cried with one injection and was quiet with the second one. And for being such a good girl she got a Garfield bandaid. Awww. As you can see in the picture she loves to play with her feet. Sometimes I wonder why her socks are wet and then I see her stick her foot in her mouth...that's why. :) Isn't she the cutest baby in the world???
is through his stomach! That's why Paddy got a big pizza for Valentine's Day. Hope everybody else had a great Valentine's Day too. We got high on cough medicine and romantically shared the kleenex box. At least we're sick together!
