Privacy

Bailey has no more privacy now that Lauren can crawl everywhere. Lauren tried to sit in Bailey's bed. As you can see Bailey welcomed her with kisses!

Just Relaxing

Lauren has her own way of sitting in the stroller. She loves sticking her foot up in the air. Not very lady like. We'll have to work on that!

Red Hot and Boom

We are lucky to live so close to Crane's Roost (a park in Altamonte). Gabe, Lauren, Bailey and I walked down the street to see the Red Hot and Boom Fireworks. We wondered how Lauren would react to the fireworks. Surprisingly, she was fine. It was Bailey that got scared! She had to hide between Gabe's legs. Poor Bailey!

How do I look?

Believe it or not, this is Daddy playing dress up with Lauren. And....he even bought her the hat!

Lauren's First Vacation

Lauren went to south FL for her first vacation. She visited her Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and her Pop-Pop.

Traveling

What should we pack on Lauren's first vacation? EVERYTHING! This is just a picture of the trunk. The back seat had bags too. Next time, we will pack lighter!

Lowering the Crib Tonight!

We are soooo lowering the crib tonight!

Standing

Well, Lauren doesn't crawl perfectly yet, but she gets to point A and B just fine! The trouble is instead of practicing her crawling she much rather practice STANDING!

Happy Father's Day

Help..... Part 2

"Just teasing! Now let's play."

Help

"Let me out!" Wha, wha, wha...

Oh, Mommy.....

stop playing with my hair!

Summer Fun with Bailey

Bailey is getting so much attention now that we are home. Lauren and I get to play with her all day! The look on Bailey's face in this picture seems as if she's ready for nap time.

Teeth

Did I mention I have teeth? Two to be exact.

Go Cubs!

Yummy

How does that brush taste Lauren?

6 Months

Oh, my! Lauren turned 6 months old. She weighed in at 15.4 pounds and 25 1/2 inches long.

1st Mother's Day

I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. Gabe and Lauren treated me like a Queen. I will always remember my 1st Mother's Day.

Mommy's Love

Being a mother is the best feeling a woman could have. Now I understand why I will always be my mothers baby. Our hearts are truly connected and they will always be regardless of what age we grow to. Lauren will be forever connected to me. She is my baby. She makes me the happiest person in the world!

Fun in the Sun

Or...

She's ready to stand up and walk!

I'm ready!

"I'm ready to crawl!"

Caught Ya!

Daddy caught Mommy and Lauren taking a snooze. Zzzzzzzz

But, I'm not tired!

Sometimes when we think it's safe and sound to go to sleep, this little head pops up with a smile. "She's awake!"

Playing with Friends

Lauren is playing with her friend Reagan. The girls are going to have so much fun playing together as they grow up. Ahh...grow up! What am I thinking????
