Such a Slacker!!

Since I am such a slacker, I thought I should update my blog atleast once a month!! HAHA sounds silly, but that will probably be the case :)

Life is good, and very busy. I have been thinking about doing this excersize class called Zumba, but when I think about my day it just doesn't seem to fit in. I drop off Lauren at the baby sitters and get to work by 8, get off work at 5 sometimes 5:30 get Lauren go home make dinner play w/ Lauren, chat with Erik then it's off to bed. And fitting in Zumba just doesn't seem to work when it starts at 5:30 p.m. (i believe). But if I had more time in my day i would love to do it, becasue i have no motivation to work out at my house! And they have the Zumba class on Thursday's at 8, but I have already been teaching dance for 3 hours and don't know if I can make myself stay in that studio for another hour.
(so that paragraph didn't turn out how i thought!! I was just trying to explain that i feel busy and not explain so much about the Zumba class.. just work with me here!)

So anyways... I was just thinking about how much Lauren is growing and how much she is learning and thought i should write some of these things down so I won't forget them!

Lauren is starting to sing!! She likes to sing twinkle twinkle little star. Let me tell you how it goes
(twinkle sounds more like cirlce) cirlce, circle ......... star ............................ upa bova...... s-high!! I fill in all of the spaces!! She also like to help me sing the primary song "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" the only part she says is the sunbeam part, she says "beep" (instead of beam) and jumps when she says it too!!

She also likes me to sing to her (so on the way to work if any of you see me singing in my car.. you will know why!) She is very particular about the songs that I sing. If she does not like the song that I am singing she will let me know by screaming and starting to cry! So I follow orders and quickly switch songs!! The ones I have found she approves of (and it really depends on the day) are: twinkle twinkle, I'm a little tea pot(she really likes this one), and Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Lauren loves to talk on the phone. The other night Erik called his mom, and lauren demanded to have the phone, and she sat there and chatted with Grandma for a good 5 or 10 minutes! Even if no one is on the other line she is still chatty!! The newest cutest thing she has done while talking on the phone is say "hi" pause for a second "bye" and then start talking!

Lauren has all of her molars in THANK GOODNESS, she showed signs of serious teething :) The nights were the worst, when the sun went down she turned into a monster! But she is coming back around and the night time monster is slowly passing!

Lauren loves to be outside and even if her nose, cheeks, and hands are freezing she still throws a fit when I try to get her to come inside! I usually bribe her with cheese and she skips the fit throwing part!! But I am glad she likes to be outside, and I can't wait for summer to come and we can be outside more often! Every time we go outside she always says "soo" (translation: snow) And when we are out side we always have to go see the "puppies" she is really good at saying puppies!

The bottom line is she is an awesome little girl and makes every day a whole lot better for me and Erik!! She makes us laugh, and even when she is trying to make herself cry we still have to giggle at her! Every day is a new adventure and the ride is AWESOME!

Love you lady Lauren :)
