Busy Life of the Hernandez Clan: Little Late...Our Babies 8!

With all the chaos that has ensued I have not had time to properly document Laneya's 8th Birthday DAY. We of course were busy as could be but tried to make the most of it none the less. She ended up having a blast and felt like the center of the universe (if only until shower time that night).

Our little girl over the last 8 years has remained cute and quirky. She has a certain way of eating which pretty much involves griping over anything that has meat (unless its Salami, or Ham or a chicken nugget of some sort) and she is very particular about what she wears. If it matches, count it out. She has grown into a little lady, the kind that burps and sometimes farts and is proud to say it belonged to her. She has a hard time waking up in the mornings and can't accept that every night, no matter what, she must take a shower and no amount of crying and pouting will change it.

Now despite her rough edges she is also sincere, loves her friends, is adored by her teacher and of course by us. She is smart as whip and has about the quickest wit I have ever seen in a kid. She can't 'rumble' with the best of them. She loves her blankie still and has minor panic attacks when she can't find it and although some may say its a crutch, anything that keeps her little for longer is pretty much my best friend as well. She is happy to play outside, loves her bike and her new fascination is horses. She loves them almost more than her blankie. She beats to her own drum and to be honest, better that than falling in line and so long as she continues to keep that big toothy smile on her face and continues to dish out the hugs and cuddles I will forever be happy.

We love you Laneya and although your birthday post was a bit late, we didn't forget about you, just means we had more time to think about all the fabulous thing we would say about you :)
