Of all the different animals that LaNea saw, she was the most fascinated with the fish. Eric thinks that we should get a couple fish in the future because of how much she loves looking at them.
There were two baby giraffes when we were there which was fun to see. They were so small!
LaNea loved the playground of course and is ever fearless when it comes to going down the slides.
Eric and the girls hiding out in the little huts!
They had a small petting zoo there. There were probably 20 goats that kids were allowed to go pet or brush their hair. LaNea loved getting up close with the animals.
Wait, does it look like this guy could bite her ear? Hmmm, I guess its because this was taken just seconds before he actually did. LaNea wasn't too thrilled about that.
Several times though she would go up to one goat, only to reach over it and pet the one next to it. Prime example of the goat is always better on the other side!
Halli was such a daredevil too. She had no problem petting all the snakes. Pretty cool albino Alligator in the background too. I don' think that guy moved the whole time we were in there.
They had a small little alligator for us to touch. This guy was 2 years old. They grow about a foot each year. LaNea kept wanting to pet his face like she does with Izzie. The keeper had to keep moving its head away from her reach.
They had a really cool tunnel through the aquatic area. LaNea had fun looking at all the fish surrounding her and cried when we had to get her out.
It was really fun going to the zoo and I think we'll have to try it again as she gets older. She loved getting to see all the different animals and had a hard time realizing that we were only leaving this animal so we could go see another animal.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
