I am such a slacker at this blogging business.. but I love to read everyone elses so I thank all of you who keep up with your blog!
Christmas was good, we spent a lot of time with family and Santa was good to us all! Lauren got spoiled and she was a little overwhelmed by all of the present opening but she got through it! I got a new phone and a columbia jacket that is purple and I LOVE (from Erik) from his parents I got a jewlery box and we got an Amish made heater- heat surge, which is so nice! Erik got a variety of warm clothes, warm socks, tools and things, and many more I can't remember, Lauren got a play area that has tunnels and a ball pit (that was from dad), books, books, and books, clothes, and the cutest little interactive puppy named Violet, a Dora couch that folds into a bed, puzzles, and toys.
New Years was fun.. we didn't do anything special, Debbie and I watched Halmark Christmas movies and pretty sure I wasn't awake to bring in the New Year, but it came in fine w/out me awake! I had a nice two week vacation from work and enjoyed being home with Lauren! It was nice to just relax, but still seemed like we were doing something every single day!
I have no pictures because my diaper bag has gotten to my camera, and I am pretty sure the camera is done for. So until I find my old camera or buy a new one we will be pictureless.
In Lauren's world...
She is growing so fast and starting to talk a lot more. She is trying to repeat words that we say and her dad has gotten caught because she tried to repeat a very naughty word that sharts with sh...! But he knew he was caught and laughed about it but he better be carefull!
Some of her new words are
wee - Willie (Steve and Debbies Jack Russell Terrior)
ree- ready (like when the timer goes off for the oven or microwave)
mok - milk
ah dah - all done
baaboo's - bubbles
book - book (she doesn't say much of the oo so it's more like b-k)
She has a few certain books that she really likes and she picks them from the book shelf and there are a few that might say something about giving a kiss goodnight, or one says something about a bunny falling down.. and I tell her to give them a kiss and the sweet thing is that she remembers the page were i told her to kiss and she kisses the page w/out me telling her to!
bawls - balls (once again she doesn't really say the l sound!)
dowa - dora
dee - deer
yas -yes
NO - she means NO!!
shhhh - when dad is sleeping she not and points to her nose and says shhh.. because she see's me putting my finger to my mouth, but she points to her nose!
zzzzzzz - zip (when we are zipping up her coat)
sesus - jesus
men - amen
wass - wash (she likes to wash up after eating and really anytime!)
The other night she had a wash cloth and was walking around the house saying wass wass she was happy with that wash cloth for about 20 minutes! It is really her new favorite toy!
ouse - house
caut -coat
This is really for me so I can remember because she has the sweetest little voice and she is trying so hard to say new words! It is so fun to she her learning and exploring new things! She just amazes me everyday and I know all kids go through this and they do just the same but it is so neat to see it happening first hand!
On the other hand.. Lauren is learning how to throw fits, and she is VERY good at them! So we are working through that and trying to figure out how to handle that! I see the terrible two's coming on sooner than I would have hoped! But she does make up for it when she giggles or smiles or surprises me with a new word! So I guess I will keep her!
Thanks for reading and hope you all had a Wonderfull Christmas and a Happy New Year!
