Not really wanting to take a nap but was stuck in her room...
If you look closely, her eyes aren't fully closed. She was so tired as we drove to pick up daddy but she didn't really want to fall asleep.
Our Sunday activity is to go to the dog park and play with all the dogs. She loves to see all the dogs and get them to lick her hands.
Still fearless on the slides.
She just saw another little boy doing this and had to try it on his own.
Half the fun of going to the park is just getting to watch the other kids play and have fun!
I just had to post this picture. She was having a rough time getting to sleep and after she had slept for a good two hours, I went to check on her. She was the one who wrapped herself up in the blanket and I thought it was so sweet!
Also, while LaNea was at our neighbors house, she was introduced to the potty. It was a very simple introduction but since I've been home, I've tried to get her a lot more comfortable with it. We are so far having great success! She has already gone 3 times today! Who knew I could be so excited that my daughter could use the restroom!
Yes, my little girl loves her books and has already discovered the restroom to be a great place to read her favorites!!
Surprisingly, LaNea is totally okay with this. Each time we ask her to take her thumb out, she does and will fold her arms to keep it out. But a few minutes later it'll creep back up. 
We had some snow in College Station again. LaNea was all bundled up and loved brushing it off the cars. She didn't want to come back inside when we had to leave either.
I was very happy that I had gotten her mittens for Christmas. 
So before you really start looking through these pictures, let me start by saying yes, my daughter does wear more than just pjs. For some reason though, I can't seem to get a picture to prove it.
I personally hate/love this face. Its not a pretty face but this is her face when she thinks she's being funny and you got to love that!
This is her asleep. She doesn't get into a deep sleep very often so Eric and I took at least a dozen photos of her that night. Isn't she precious?!
She still loves the piano. She'll randomly go and play on it. I don't always leave it on but that doesn't really matter to her. She just likes sitting in the chair and banging on the keys.
Eric and I decided it was time to get LaNea used to a toddler bed. We got it last night and while she seemed a little nervous about the open space, she's done great. So far, I've only had to tell her once each time to lay down and she'll go straight to sleep. She can be very trying in so many ways but yet so obedient in others. One day I'll figure her out!
Poor LaNea had woken up with a fever yesterday morning and still had it this morning. What's better when you're sick than to cuddle up in Daddy's lap. 
So I took LaNea to the drs yesterday to get her 15 months shots and check up. It was a good appointment.
She's weighing in at 22lbs which is in the 40th percentile. Her height is 33 in. That puts her in the 90th percentile. And I never remember her head's but its right on track.
She didn't like her shots but was done crying by the time we left the room.
She's getting so big. I don't see a little baby when I look at her anymore. She has such a spunky personality and tends to be happy in whatever she's doing. She does have a very bad temper though. She's gotten into a bad habit of trying to hit me when she's angry over anything. That's been a fun habit to try to break. Any good advice on how to stop it, I'd love!!
She's been really good at Lauren's house while I work. Lauren loves her and has helped her fully embrace her girlie side. LaNea will now have her hair pulled up regularly and enjoys picking out the bow. She loves to wear different shoes throughout the day and to change her clothes or just add layers.
She's very independent and when I try to get her to cuddle with me on the couch she'll go sit in her chair instead.
Sorry this was just a lot of writing. I'll try to add some pictures as soon as I can.
Call me a scrouge but I'm not huge on the sitting on Santa's lap thing. So last year, I didn't have LaNea do it. This year though, it was very convinent (meaning no line! no cost!) so we did. She didn't do as terrible as I expected. Santa was down at McDonalds in Spring, TX and didn't have candy canes but had cookies and happy meal toys. What a great idea! Eric loved the cookie and LaNea loved the toy.
As you can see, she really not sure what's going on and probably debating on whether she's allowed to touch his beard.
And here, she's given up completely! Next year I expect to be better.
(As a side note: Eric packed her clothes and I didn't fully explain that I wanted cute clothes or that just because they say 18month, doesn't mean they'll actually fit! Yeah, she looked like an orphan.)
