This has been a HUGE week for Lauren! On March 30, she officially crawled! She has been taking 2-3 smalls crawling steps, but on the night of the 30th Aunt Kay, Eric and I were sitting with her in the playroom and practicing with her when she went far enough that we called it OFFICIAL. :-) The next day, she crawled and crawled all over the place. It was as if she suddenly realized that she could do it. She now has no problem getting where she wants to go as long as it is a flat surface. This milestone threw us into baby-proofing the house for the next few days; something we knew we should have done weeks ago but kept putting it off. So, a baby gate now adorns the entrance to the playroom, extra cords are gone, outlets are plugged and we're cautiously leaving Emma's food and water as is right now. Speaking of Emma...she now knows that Lauren is crawling and is starting to watch her back. :-) On March 31st, we noticed that her second tooth had broken the skin. So she now has two bottom teeth.
This week is Aunt Kay and Gigi's Spring Break, so we spent one day shopping with them in Destin. Lauren loved strolling outside and in and out stores. It was a great day to shop.
Aunt Kay spent the night with us and Lauren loved having her here.
"Watch me, Aunt Kay!"
Her hair is gradually getting longer, but pig-tails are far, far in our future.
See, I told you Emma has her eye on Lauren. This was before we put the baby gate across the opening. Emma is actually really nice to Lauren and lets her pet her every now and again.
We spent one day at the beach with Aunt Kay. Lauren loved being out there. Gorgeous weather.
Got to eat puffs and yogurt melts!
This was the day after she started crawling. The sand didn't seem to bother her one bit.
Lauren received a special Easter Book in the mail from Evan and Joel. She had a fun time opening her new gift. Thank you, Ticola Boys!
"So, mommy...which bow should I wear to Daddy's office? "
On Saturday, we went to Vivian's 1st Birthday party out at the beach. Lauren had the BEST time! She loved being with all the children there and fell asleep very easy on the ride back home.
Playing with bubbles: Vivian, The Birthday Girl!!
Playing in the sand
Showing off her crawling skills to a new friend
1st time in a baby pool...absolutely LOVED it!
And playing in the balls. Lauren is going to have a good time going to birthday parties now that she is old enough to participate. It won't be too much longer before we'll be thinking about her 1st birthday party! Goodness...where has the time gone?
