Lauren meet utensils...

Hmm.... I know Mommy always uses them. Let's give it a try, by myself!

Well, I'm getting a little messy. It's just not as easy as it looks!

Ok, so I have to admit using

my hands is sooo much easier!

And, using both hands, way more fun!

Sorry Mommy, using a fork or spoon is just not my thing! yet....

Bath Time with Auntie Renee

Auntie 'Neh-Neh' Renee, what did you do to Lauren's hair?

Sea World

Lauren's first trip to Sea World was a blast!

With the temperature in the 90's Mommy and Daddy were so exhausted, but little Lauren kept her energy level high! In fact, she had so much energy that we had to walk out of the Elmo show because she was such a wiggle worm. Even with the ants in her pants, she seemed to enjoy most of the shows. Her absolute favorite part was seeing the Polar Bear. She also enjoyed the dolphins splashing her at dolphin cove. That of course was Mommy's favorite part!

Happy Father's Day

Lauren and I took Gabe out for a wonderful brunch before he had to depart for his business trip. Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Here is a picture of the garden stone that Lauren made for Daddy.

Garage Sale

Lauren was such a great helper, trying out all of the items to show the customers they worked. Of course she wanted to keep everything! Someone even asked if she was for sale. Not this cutie pie!

Lauren's 2nd Hair Cut

Today Lauren had an appointment at a Salon to get her hair trimmed. She wore a princess cape and munched on cookies while her hair was cut. I was very worried that she would be a wiggle worm. The cookies saved the day!

Summer Time

Bailey finally has her summer time partner in crime back! Lauren and Bailey play tug-o-war, watch sesame street together and Lauren has learned how to ask Bailey for her paw. Bailey knows that Lauren can not reach the treats for her yet, but somehow Lauren managed to give her a chewy the other day?

Mother's Day - Redo

Since Lauren wasn't feeling good Mother's Day weekend, we planned a Mother's Day 'redo'. The following weekend we took Lauren to a character breakfast at Epcot. She enjoyed seeing the characters from far away. Once they came to our table she practically climbed into my lap to get away from them.

She absolutely loved the dessert! They served 'the princess' (that's how they refer to her in the restaurant) a decorate your own cupcake. Yummy!
Although it seems as if our Mother's Day re-do was more for Lauren, it wasn't. Seeing a smile on her face is the best Mother's Day present of all!

Updates!

Finally, I am posting some updates! Well since I last posted......We had a bird make a nest in our dead hanging plant, by the front door. The bird ended up being pregnant and had two babies! Lauren loves saying, "Hi, Birdeeeee" everytime we walk by. Now they all flew away. Bye-Bye Birds! She also had a very sick Mother's Day weekend! :( boo hoo
