Simple Things..

So I just wanted to write this down so I wouldn't forget (because I do VERY easily)..

The other day I was over at my parents house and My brother Jakes family was over there, he has a little boy Triffin is about a month older than Lauren. They really played together for the first time!! My mom has a play room that is right off of the kitchen and they were in the play room together just having fun all by themselves, and they would come check out what we were doing every once in a while. But it was so nice for them to be content with each other.. Then we went into the computer room because I was on the computer and they were running in and out of the closet laughing at each other. After that Triffin taught Lauren how to climb up on the patio chairs :( bad idea!! j/k.

It was just so sweat to see those two little toddlers playing together. It is so fun to see Lauren growing up, but so sad as well.

Another thing I don't want to forget is when I went to pick up Lauren from day care yesterday, I opened the door and could see her in the livingroom and she was dancing with the other older kids. They were watching a kids movie that encourages them to dance and move around, but it was so funny to see Lauren look at the older kids and then try to do what they were doing! It is crazy how much she is growing up.

Ok.. So I just remembered one more thing... This morning when I dropped Lauren off at daycare her usuall routine is to cling on the me when I try to put her down, so I usually give her to the Joann and she is fine then. But today I tried to put her down and told her to go play with the other girl who was there and she did willingly and when I said goodbye she was still walking away from me and all she did was put her hand up to wave (and still was walking away like "see ya later mom, get out of here finally") I love it that she is happy at daycare, and wants to be there. It is so comforting to me, to have such a good daycare provider and know that my little girl is loved over there! Joann tells me when her husband comes home for lunch Lauren wants his undivided attention and likes when he is there!

This post was more for me, so I won't forget these little moments but I hope you enjoyed them too!

Has it really been that long?

Yes, I am still blogging but no I haven't done it for a long time. Blogging just took the back seat for a while. I recently got a new job as a receptionist, so working full time and taking care of Lauren has got me busy, busy. Now that things have settled down and I have gotten into a good routine I should be blogging more! I really enjoy my new job, and really like the people I am working with! It is nice to get out of the house, even though I would love to be with Lauren 24/7. I love Lauren's day care and feel so comfortable with her being there all day!

I am just going to make this blog short and sweet because the only thing I really wanted to blog about is Lauren says PLEASE!! She can sign please and say please now!! It is the sweetest thing.. she says it more like peeze, but it melts my heart every time!

Lauren also says bye bye! She can say lots of things just babbling, but when she says them at the right time (more than just one time) it is so fun! It makes me think she is a genious!

Lauren has been teething lately and I can now say that Lauren is definitely grouchy when she is teething (and I don't blame her, but sheesh sometimes it gets a little old darling!!) She now has 3 teeth on the top and on the bottom. It is cute because she has the two front teeth (top, and bottom) then the 3rd top tooth is to the left and the 3rd bottom tooth is the right so she is a little lop sided:)

A few things we been doing..

boating with Michael and Maddy...

I have been water skiing before, but that was when I was like 12. So I gave it another shot... maybe 3 shots! This was my 3rd and final time, because my landings on all 3 times were not ones I wish to remember:)

Michael and Maddy were really paitent with me, and made me feel like I was doing a good job! So I thank them for that!

And might I add that they don't crash after they are done water skiing the just sign who is ever driving to slow down and they slowly fall into the water. I have yet to figure out how they do that!

Playing at the park...

Lauren loves to play at the park! She loves to ride the swings and climb all around the play ground!

Play with the dogs...

Everytime we go outside she heads over the the puppies:) She loves to watch them play around and giggles when they give her kisses.

I'm sure I have left a lot out, but I just wanted to get a post in before you all thought that I quit blogging. So hopefully you will hear from me in a week or two!
