Talking More and More Every Day!

Lauren is now 18 months old and surprises us every day with new words. This video is one of her new things where she just talks and talks...sometimes we understand what she is saying...but then other times she is talking in secret code! She just amazes me every day with something new! The past 18 months have been wonderful and I would not take any of it back! We love you!

Snow Man

Merry Christmas!

I Love Greg and Jen!

Friday night we let Lauren stay up later than normal and she was living it up! When she gets tired though she wants to rub her hair or any one's hair that is close. She didn't want to sit by me or Kraig, and only want her Jen and Greg Greg...

She had us all rolling because she just kept wanting to snuggle Greg and Jen and rub Greg's hair. When he would try to get up she would let him know that was NOT ok and pull his head back down.

Mommy's Eyes

Ok, so Lauren is now 18 months old and I'm finally seeing a little bit of myself in her...look at those eyes! The rest of her is for sure her daddy!

I Love Daddy's Boots!

New Rock Band Singer in Town!

We got Rock Band last year but have not played it that much...we got it out Friday night when Greg and Jen came over for dinner and Lauren just picked up the mic and started singing. Kraig and Greg were rockin out as well and Jen and I were the cheerleaders. :-)

Greg was hitting the drum sticks together so Lauren thought she would give it a try too.

This was how excited she was about playing the drums!

She loves the mic!

The boys playing.

Is that a Pony Tail?

Ok, so it's not much of a pony tail...but it's a start right! :-)

Bath Time

For those of you that have kids, you know that bath time is a fun time for them. Lauren loves her bath! Here are some cute bath photos I wanted to share.

I thought this was cute because the look Lauren has on her face #1 and #2, she has a pony tail!

Lauren waiting on the tub to fill up with water.

She is generally this excited! (sorry it's a little blurry)

Still waiting but happy!

Singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider

Playing with her boat, ducky and lobster.

What a cute smile!

I love the excitement she has about everything!

Is that not a cute little body!

This robe used to be a lot longer...but now tiny L is almost showing her booty!

We love you baby girl!
