We spent the Labor Day Weekend at Crystal Lake. It was a very relaxing weekend filled with good food and visiting with family. Lauren slept in her Pack n Play for the first time and was a great sleeper and good baby all weekend long. She had TONS of attention from everybody there. We took her on her first boat ride; she didn't love it but she didn't hate it. I'm sure that she will grow to love being on the boat with her daddy.
Lauren's milestones: she has definitely found her hands and likes to suck on her index finger and thumb and will sometimes try to put her entire hand in her mouth. It is really cute. We hope she doesn't progress to her thumb alone. I'm considering trying out different shapes of pacifiers so that she can substitute her fingers for a paci. We'll see. She will look at her hands for the longest time turning them over and over and moving her fingers. Towards the end of the week, she started grabbing at the doll hanging down from play mat and holding on to it. She is continuing to roll over from her tummy to back with ease. We still can't believe that she is rolling over. She is cooing and talking more and more and will sometimes "laugh". Grandma says that when she smiles, she smiles with her mouth AND her eyes. She is so sweet and happy; I can't get enough of her sometimes.
