My Fair Laney: Your Journey to TWO

Dear Anna Scott,

Here is a little recap of your journey to two years old. What a wonderful journey it has been...

Just two years ago, I waited anxiously for you to arrive. Here I am at your baby shower (36 weeks pregnant). I could hardly wait to meet you!

I ironed your sweet dresses. These are two that Aunt Allison smocked for you.

I packed your little bags.

Your sweet Daddy left a surprise for me in your nursery on Mother's day, May 8, 2011. Little did I know that just two days later, you would arrive.

This is the first time I held you in my arms. It was the best moment of my life.

This is the first time you touched Daddy's hand.

The nurse gave you a sponge bath when you were only a few hours old. I don't think you liked it too much. :)

Here you are at one day old. You were so alert. My little bundle of joy.

We got to go home after two days in the hospital.

I loved your coming home dress. It looks so small framed in your nursery now, but it swallowed you whole at two days old.

Here you are at one week old.

2 months old

3 months old

5 months old

We dedicated you to the Lord on October 16, 2011. You were 5 months old. Your grandmothers bought your Christening gown before you were even born. It was so beautiful on you that day.

Here you are at 6 months old. You started to grow so quickly at this point.

Your first time in Santa's lap at 7 months old.

Here are a couple at 8 months old. These are two of my favorite pictures.

Your first ski trip was at 8 months old. You turned out to be quite the snow baby.

I had your "baby parts" photographed at 9 months old and Granmama framed them for your 1st birthday. I am in love with these pictures.

I love this sweet black and white of you. 9 months old.

You were my little baby doll. 9 months old.

Your first visit with the Easter Bunny went very well. Perhaps it is because you took him a carrot!

This is you on your first Easter Sunday. 11 months old. I loved your sweet necklace and bracelet.

Your daddy and I had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen the night before you were born. We had no idea that the next day would be your birthday. So, one year later, on the night before your first birthday, we decided to make it a tradition. Here you are at California Pizza Kitchen the night before your 1st birthday. Guess where we will be eating tomorrow night? :)

Here you are on the day of your first birthday, party dress and all.

You had a blueberry pancake breakfast that morning.

We also visited the Birmingham Zoo that day.

Here are some of your 1st birthday pictures...

Your first birthday party was a dream come true. It was such a special day!

Here you are after your 1 year doctor check up. You loved showing off your stats!

We had a fun summer at the beach last year. You were so cute in your swimsuits!

You and I dressed alike for our football kick-off party. So much fun.

You were 15 months old.

I thought you were a doll in your little hat during the fall/winter.

17 months old

You dressed as a little lamb for your second Halloween.

You met Coach Saban at 18 months old! He loved you and wanted to hold you, but you wouldn't let him. You will regret that one day. :) Maybe you will get another chance.
