Almost 4

Laine turns 4 in just a couple weeks. Hard to believe she's almost that old! I've been excited about a couple new tricks she's picked up in the last few weeks. It's like she knows she needs to be able to do more things now. Two of the things she can do are especially helpful for me, particularly since another child is joining our family in a few months!

Laine can pump and swing on the swings all by herself now, and she can buckle herself into her car seat on her own. Both of these have been huge time savers for me already! The car seat ability will be wonderful once she's sitting all the way in the back of the van.

Laine, we're so proud of you - not just in these little ways, but it's fun to watch you grow up and get bigger. We love you!
