Laney, 2.5

Flannery is well on her way to 3, and at 2 and 1/2, we jokingly say that she's 2 going on 12.
She has become such a little lady, who is mischievous and daring, confident, sweet and adventurous. And for all of her frills, she still tries to keep up with her big brother.
She's been wanting to learn her letters lately and we think she'll be learning to read soon. She's so smart in a completely different way than Amos. She's a sweetie, too. I feel that we are closer than ever, as lately, I've realized that she's not just our *girl,* she's my *daughter* and I have a great opportunity to teach her what it's like to be a mom, woman, sister, wife and friend in this world.
She's also incredibly artistic and creative, content to sit and color or play the piano and sing. She's started making up her own songs lately that are usually about what's going on in the moment.
Her favorite outfits these days are her princess dress, ballerina outfits and summer dresses that may or may not be appropriate for that day's weather.

She's constantly keeping us laughing and on our toes. We love our little princess!

So sweet! She looks like a fun combination of tough and girly :)
And you look a lot like your mom in the first photo you're in.
