Photo dump

First day in the back yard. The slide is getting a bit short.


9 months old and eating Cheerios!
 Clown! I love that face!

 Nuff said.
 Lazy baby.
 Grandpa's 73rd birthday

 Cheese!

We don't take enough video

The best part about this video apart from Lauren's version of 'dancing' is when she falls and says
 "What happened?"



Cutie pie.

She likes her! She really likes her!

We've been trying more and more to get Lauren to interact with Brier.

When Brier is in her highchair Lauren and I play a game by tickling Brier's feet, cheeks, hands, anything really. Brier can not take her eyes off of Lauren and laughs hysterically when her big sister actually makes contact with any part of her body.

Every once in a while we ask Lauren to kiss or hug Brier and about 20% of the time she may actually do it. Again, Brier is in heaven.

Finally Norm managed to catch this rare and fleeting moment on camera.


 
 
This is one of the only photos we have of the girls together and it only took 9 months! BFFs in the making!

Tank Two Ma Mommy

The transition to the toddler bed for Lauren has been going really well. It's been around 10 days now and she's only gotten out of bed maybe 5 times. For me it has not been the nightmare I had envisioned.

The other night - okay it was 5 a.m. but no where near morning in my opinion - she got up and came out of her room (I only know this because the cow bell we tied to the door knob woke me out of a deep slumber). I met her in the hallway, she put her arms up in the air, I picked her up and she rested her head on my shoulder. I took her back into her room, placed her in bed and she immediately rolled on to her side as if she was going right back to sleep. But before I could leave the room she said "Tank two ma mommy." You guys!, I could have melted. But instead I went back to bed for 2 more glorious hours.

When this kid's on, she's really on.
