Wow.... it's been so long! Where to begin?

I know I've said this before, but I really have got to be the World's Worst Blogger. I guess by the time I actually get a moment to myself, I fill it with something else.... and since I spend all day looking at a computer screen at work, getting on my computer to blog just seems to take last priority. Then, when I finally do get around to it, I've done it so infrequently, that I fight with the program to get the images where I want them in the text. Wish they'd make Blogging for Idiots program....
Ok, bout of self loathing over.

So, Lainey's birthday was awesome! She had so much fun playing at the park. We set up her kiddie pool very early before anyone showed up and she splashed around for about an hour. Then, she chatted our ears off while swinging until everyone showed up!
She was so excited to play in the park, that stopping for cake was difficult for her. Especially when her Aunt Melanie brought a GINORMOUS bear!!

It seems weird to look at pictures from her 1st birthday and then to look back at how she's grown from her BIRTHday. She's really averaged out from the 9 lbs, 15 oz baby that she was!!
