Poor kid! No wonder whenever we ask you what your name is you respond, "Baby Wallace." Talk about some serious name confusion!
No matter what we call you, Laynie, you are our Sweetheart! Our near-Valentine baby has filled our home with sunshine and love. We are so glad to have you!
And so is Gavin! You have become his best friend and tag-a-long. He may pretend to be too cool for you, but he is proud to call you "Little Sis." Gavin has really become your protector this year - from bigger kids and from your own adventurous nature. 
I can't imagine what he's going to be like when you finally turn 16. Yikes. 
Laynie, your smile is infectious and your voice is LOUD! We love to hear you sing and watch you dance. You were born to perform. 
You love to pose for pictures...
... play dress-up...
...and rock your babies to sleep...
And, you are never without your thumb and blankie! 
(Check out those gorgeous legs...just had to throw this one in there.) 
Don't get me wrong...we know there are two sides to your personality. 
When you're not all sweetness...
...and sunshine...
...you can show some serious ATTITUDE (just check out that walk!). But luckily, we don't see that side of your personality too terribly often. Thanks for being my helper, my taste-tester, and my little friend. It's nice to have a girl in the house. You help Gav find his soft side, and melt Daddy into a puddle!
We all love you so much!
Love,
Mommy

Memories. How quickly time flies by. It seems just like yesterday that we were so excited to hear of Laynie's arrival. I was so excited then to see pictures of her, and of her big brother (Gavin) holding her. They love each other so much even when "big brother" teases her. I especially love the "attitude" picture of her walking after her brother who had just kidnapped her pumpkin. That brisk little walk with arms moving in stride truly tells a story of "I'll be big one day, so don't mess with me."
The pictures and comments are priceless. The children will be ever grateful one day as they look back on when they were "little people".
Thanks for sharing with family and friends.
Much love,

Wow she is so cute... I loved seeing all her baby pictures. It fun to have little girls around to help us.
I L.O.V.E her!
