Playing Dress Up

This is her costume from last year. She just loves to play dress up. It's great that it still fits her!

Cookies!

Thanks Auntee Jan for the Halloween cookie basket. It was yumeeeeeee!

Epcot

We spent a day at Epcot to celebrate Abuelo's Birthday.

What a Beautiful Florida Day!

Finally weather under 80 degress! Mommy and Lauren had fun playing outside on a beautiful afternoon.

Party!

Lauren enjoyed bouncing in the bounce house at her friend Jayden's Birthday Party!

Dress Up

Lauren still loves to wear accessories. "Daddy, wings...please" OR "Mommy slippers...please" OR/AND "belt...please." How could you say no?

Thanks for the Visit!

Lauren met some of her cousins from Puerto Rico!

What a Weekend!

Yum, watermelon!

WHeeeeeeeee! Toon town has the best playground.

We love that horseeeee ride, once again!

Playing with cousins!Grand finale, family photo! Out of all the pictures on my camera, the silly face family photo was the cutest. Notice Lauren's "Oh, No" hands on her face.On Sunday, a bunch of aunts and cousins (big and small) got together for dinner. It was nice to see the kids together. Oh, my how the family grows....

Smartee Pants

What a teacher's daughter.... she knows so many animals, animal sounds, objects, and shapes. What a smartee! She has to 'read' a book every day.

Love

Lauren says good-night to Bailey with a hug and kiss.

Bailey is so kind to Lauren. She is a little sleep deprived on the weekends from her. I'm sure Bailey didn't care to know that she has a nose, eyes, mouth, and ears.

Where's Bailey?

Lauren smothered Bailey with dog toys. There really is a dog there. Can you see her?

GO Knights!

Lauren loves wearing her UCF gear! I wish her support could help them win their season.

School Pictures

Look at my beautiful Lauren!

Mickey's Giant Pumpkin

Mickey Mouse had a giant pumpkin outside of his house.

Horseeee Ride

Nice Horseeeee!

I think this will be a favorite stop for Lauren each time we visit Disney.

Lauren was so excited to ride the carousel at Disney. She was thrilled to sit on the horse! Then, all of a sudden she realized that she was on the horse by herself. Yikes. After a quick picture Mommy joined her for the ride. We had a blast going up and down on the carousel. Of course, when the carousel stopped it was way up high and hard for Lauren, well really Mommy, to get down!

Streaker!

Lauren likes to pretend to have to go 'potty' after her bath. Within seconds she runs out of the bathroom and dances around the house naked. Streaker!

What a Girl!

She loves her pony tails, stuffed animals, and dolls. She loves her bracelets, princess pj's, and my favorite thing...Clothes!

Eating Corn

Corn on the Cob is Lauren's favorite veggie!

Potty Time

Breaking News........Today 8/28 Lauren went pee-pee in her potty chair for the first time! Sorry no pictures to show. I don't really know if Lauren would appreciate those pictures later in life!

Pretend

Lauren loves playing pretend with her dolls. She fills up a cup with fake water from her kitchen and gives it to her doll to drink. She is very serious when she plays and sometimes giggles when she notices her Mommy is spying on her.

Excuse me paparazzi....

Mrs. Paparazzi, please put your camera away. I'm trying to play with my toys!

Enough already, let me play!

Wanna ride?

Hair-do's

Since Mommy has to wake up early to get ready for work she can only do so much to get Lauren ready in the morning. If there is a day that Lauren sleeps in , then Daddy has to do her hair for school. Unfortunately, we have a child that has to have her hair 'done' to look presentable. (Unless you like the look of bedhead in the morning?) Lauren's teachers at school are so sweet. They fix her hair so cute and I don't have to worry about Daddy doing a not-so-good job in the AM. :-)

Look at those curls!

2nd Grade Rocks!

It's an official 'Back to... Teacher Work Day Week'. My team of teachers rocked out in our matching gear! Of course, everyone laughed at us. We usually get made fun of anyways for turning in things early, etc... So why not add to the drama by wearing a "2nd Grade Teachers Rock" shirt.

This is Lauren's 2nd week back to daycare and she is adjusting beautifully. No more cries at drop off. She hugs her teacher when she arrives. What a big girl she is!

Hat Day at School

This week Lauren's class had a Hat theme. She painted a Dr. Seuss Hat, Top Hat, Party Hat and glued tissue paper on a Firefighter Hat. On Friday she was allowed to wear her favorite hat. Lauren wore a Dora hat and apparently she was the only child that kept her hat on ALL day long! When I say ALL day long, not only did she wear it all day at school but she continued to wear it until night time.
