You're Beautiful

Maybe we're biased, but we think this is most beautiful little face

I'm a Big Cousin!

Lauren can hardly wait to play with her new cousin Hadley Jane who was born today, March 14th! Oh the fun they will have!

A new challenge!

Lauren decided she was going to try and crawl up the stairs tonight. She made it up to the first 3, then decided to come back down... head first! I was too busy catching her to take any pictures, but daddy has it all on video! She is one determined kid!

St. Patty's Dash

We were excited to take Lauren on her first fun run in Seattle.

It was apparently a lot of work for her!

Riding in strollers is hard work!

9 months old!

Every 3 months we take her picture in one of these milestone shirts and this is the first time she isn't crying! Yeah Lauren!

Now that Lauren can pull herself up that is all she wants to do. Here it was like she was scaling the cabinet, but didn't know where to go...

This seems to be her favorite place to play, under the coffee table. So much for the nice coffee table books and home decor that once exsisted!

Friends

Lauren and Henry are having fun on their playdates. They are still learning to share, so they constantly want whatever toy the other one has. They swap chew toys about every 5 seconds! They are quite entertaining to watch and so darn cute together!

Look Who is Growing Up!

It seems as though Lauren is growing up over night! Just yesterday she started offically crawling on all fours and pulling herself up to a standing position! What's next? Driving?

The next Lance Armstrong?

Lauren has already starting her training for the Tour De France! Lance Armstrong- eat your heart out!

Hug Me!

Lauren had a great Valentine's day. Her favorite part of the day was wearing her new shirt from her Aunt Megan! Lauren felt very loved on Valentine's day, she received more mail than her mom and dad...

First Kiss?

Lauren got into the Valentine spririt and tried to kiss Henry. Luckily he didn't try to kiss her back, good boy Henry!

Lauren's Valentine Box

My parents love me so much that they got me this wonderful box for Valentine's Day! I feel so loved!

Buddies

Lauren and her buddy Wyatt had a play date!

The Next Elton John?

Lauren enjoyed playing with her friend Wyatt's piano. I think Elton John better watch out!

Need a Nurse?

Lauren is quite the career woman having already tried her hand at accounting she thought she'd follow in aunt Megan's footsteps and try out nursing for the day! We think the patients would agree she looks darling in her pink scrubs though we're not sure what they'd think of her drooling...

Little Miss Sunshine!

Lauren has become quite a happy baby! She loves to play in her exersaucer, in her Johnny Jump Up, and with all her toys on the floor. She's a rollin' fool these days and can get anywhere in the house she wants to go. She's working hard on those crawling skills too, she doesn't have it down yet, but she's trying so hard! The girl has got determination. Just when we think she can't get any more fun, she goes and shows us a funny face, a new trick, or a silly sound and we fall in love with her even more!

Need an accountant?

We got one! She's happy to help you with all your tax needs this year... we can't guarantee her accuracy, but we can guarantee she'll be the cutest accountant you ever hired!

What to do if you can't find your binkie...

...Just find your daddy's toe and put it in your mouth!

Let it Snow!

Lauren and Val in the January snow!

Look who can sit up?

Lauren wanted to start off 2007 with a new talent- she started sitting up all by herself on January 1st. She's practically a grown up these days!

Biker Baby

This is one tough baby- she's already riding a Harley at 7 months old! Vroom Vroom
