Lauren's 1st Christmas 2007

Poppa Louie and Nona Donna got Lauren a duck for Christmas. Ya know the ones...pull the string and they make noise and vibrate...well Lauren thought that was the coolest thing since sliced bread (well ok, for her the coolest thing since the pacifier)! The video attached is SOOOO cute! This is the first time we have heard Lauren really laugh hard like this! We were all rolling we were laughing so hard! You are only seeing a few seconds of the video, but Lauren laughed like this for 3 minutes straight! Thanks for the duck Poppa Louie and Nona Donna!

Lauren's 6 Month Photos

Is that hair?!?!?!

As you can tell, Lauren is pretty bald! This morning she woke up with some crazy hair so I had to take some photos since you can actually see hair!!! :-)

The Exersaucer Event

Lauren is 5 months old and got an exersaucer. She loves it, however it wore her out! She was playing and enjoying her new toy and then all of the sudden I noticed she was very quiet...I of course worried that something was wrong at first, but then realized she had just fallen asleep!!! So what else is a proud mom to do but take photos! LOL Enjoy!

Halloween 2007

Lauren's first Halloween! Aunt Kristen got her this cute little pepper costume. I dressed up as a Dr. from the TV show Grey's Anatomy along with other co-workers. Cousins Katlyn and Austin were dressed as a princess and a transformer.

Katlyn's Birthday Party October 2007

We were in Little Rock to watch my sister sing and while we were there, we made the most of the weekend and had a swimming birthday party for my niece Katlyn. Lauren was around 4 1/2 months at the time. All the kids had fun and Lauren LOVED the water! Lauren and Ashton (my cousin Brandy's son) were doing their best Mini Me impression. :-) The other photos are of my niece Katlyn, my mom, dad and my grandma Tackett.

Lauren Rolling Over

Here is a video of Lauren rolling over when she was almost 4 months old...with a little help from dad! :-)

Lauren at 2 months in her swimsuits

Ok, so I had a little fun playing dress up with Lauren. I had to share the photos. By the end it all you can see she was saying "STOP IT!"

Lauren's 6 week check up

At Lauren's 6 week check up at Northwest Pediatric Clinic in Fayetteville, Lauren weighed 10 lbs and 8 oz! The Dr. said everything was going great!

6 Week Checkup

Lauren now weighs 10 lbs and 8 oz. She turned 6 weeks yesterday! I can't believe how much she is growing and how fast time flies by! I'm loving being a mom!

Lauren's First Rodeo

I took Lauren to the Rodeo of the Ozarks when she was a month old. We met up with family and you can see they enjoyed her and she enjoyed the interaction from someone other than mommy! This was a good experience as it was probably the first time I had taken her out long enough to actually have to heat up a bottle. I just brought it cold and thought she would just eat it that way...but my sister helped me find some hot water to heat up the bottle and Lauren liked it much better that way! :-) She was really good and never fussed at all.

Lauren and Jackson

Our friends Kyle and Emily Coleman welcomed their little boy Jackson into the world while we were on vacation. Emily and Jackson brought us dinner one night and I had to get a photo of the two of them to look back on. Lauren and Jackson are 6 weeks apart and Lauren was almost 4 wks old in the photo so Jackson was almost 10 weeks old.

Lauren and Hayden

Our friends Chad and Christa Lawrence welcomed their baby boy Hayden just a few weeks after Lauren was born...I believe on the same day as our friends Jason and Lindsey Skarsten had their little girl Stella. Here is a photo of Hayden and Lauren at the hospital.

Lauren's Dr. Appt. at 3 weeks & 3 days

We took Lauren to the Pediatrician yesterday because only part of her umbillical cord fell off and what was left was all gooey and soft still. I didn't know if it was like an open sore or what, so we took her in and they put more stuff on it so that it would dry up. They weighed her and she now weighs 8 lbs and 9 oz!!!! That's crzay to me! She has gained over 2 lbs since we left the hospital 3 weeks ago yesterday! Just had to share the good news. :-)

Lauren and Kennon

Our friends Laura and Josh Teff welcomed their little (well big) boy Kennon Teff on June 15th. He and Lauren are 12 days apart. We visited them at the Teff home when Kennon was 4 days old. The funny part is it looks like Lauren was saying "hey you...I'm over here!" and Kennon was not having it at all! He was like "you're a girl...gross!". Hehe!
