Hello From Laney

Hello Everyone! It's me, sweet and petite little Laney. I wanted to hop on here while momma is busy. You know, just to give you the low down on what's goin' on here in McNabb Land? Well, there's really not alot to report. I'm feeling pretty good today and my surgery seems to have helped my tummy a little bit. Momma says if I keep "going" the way I have been she'll have to consider buying stock in Huggies! It makes me giggle when she gets that "something smells stinky" look on her face. She's so funny! Momma has been sick the last few days. She ate something she shouldn't and her face looked all funny. I thought she looked like a duck with her mouth all swelled up like it was and I tried not to quack at her, but I just couldn't stop myself! QUACK, QUACK!!! Momma wasn't mad at me though. She thought it was cute that I was quacking at her. Momma's just nice like that. Momma also says I have picked up a bad habit. I don't really think it's a bad habit, she's just not lookin' at it from my perspective. I think it's fun. You see, I been bitin' my sisters. You should see how they scream when I chomp down on one of 'em! I've been leavin' my mark on 'em every chance I get. I got the shifty, little yellow-haired one (momma calls her Paisley) on the back, the shoulder, the neck, and then again on the big toe! Oh boy you should see her! She gots little Laney-toothy marks all over! I just couldn't leave the other one feeling left out, now could I? I bit that brown-haired sister (Momma calls her Destiny, but I call her Gee-Gee) on the leg so hard that she was yellin' for Momma to come help her! All that hollerin' over little ol' me! Momma was not so happy about all that biting. She said "NO BITE-BITE!" and put me in jail (momma calls it the playpen). I hate when she puts me in there, so I break out when she's not lookin! All I gotta do is climb up and throw my leg over the side. Momma needs to come up with a better jail cell. Ha!
The sisters went back to school this morning. They been home with me for 11 days. Now who am I gonna bite? Momma I guess! Those rotten sisters took my piggy bank down last night and throwed it on the floor. My poor piggy broke all over the place. I don't know why they did it, but momma told me not to cry. She says we can go pick out another one when she gets to feelin' better. I like to have my piggy. My pop-pop (daddy's daddy) feeds my piggy every time he walks in the house to see me. If I don't have my piggy here for him to feed pop-pop will be sad. His pockets will get all heavy with all those extra pennies! I'm really doin' HIM a favor by takin' em off his hands! So momma better be gettin' me a new piggy soon.
A new lady has been coming over to the house to see me every week. Momma says this new lady is going to be helping me with my therapy. She calls it Tennessee Early Intervention. Momma says that means I will get LOTS of extra help with my speech and OT skills. I think it just gives me someone new to play with. I like my therapy and we play lots of fun games. The new lady is real nice and brings me stuff to play with while she's here.
Oh! I wanted to tell everyone about my art work. Momma went out and bought some paint for the living room. She painted all the walls up in this green color she liked. I thought it looked a little dull myself. I decided to get out my crayons and draw her some pictures on the walls. Well, you'd think she would be happy, but was she? No, that crazy woman just don't know good talent in the arts! She took my crayons away and put me back in the jail. I just don't understand her sometimes! Don't worry about me though. I didn't stay in jail long! I been gettin' so good at climbin' that I was free before momma even made it back to the door! I got my crayons back too. That took a little time and talent. I had to wait til momma wasn't lookin' and push a chair over to the counter in the kitchen. Momma came in and caught me standin on the counter and she was pretty funny about it. She came rushin' over and snatched me back off the counter. She said "No-no Laney! No climbin in the chairs!" Heck, I was just smiling and holdin on to my crayons. I think she was too distracted to even notice I had my crayons! Now I'm just waiting for momma to turn her head so I can go finish that picture I started on the living room wall. Boy won't momma be surprised! Well, momma's not busy no more, so I better get off her laptop before she catches me and throws me back in the jail again! Not that I couldn't escape or nothin'. I just make her THINK she's the one in charge!
