First Trip to the Pool!

We made our first trip to the pool on Tuesday. I think the water was a little cold for Laurel, but she really enjoyed kicking her feet in the water.



Look at me in my little swimsuit! So cute!

(thanks for inviting us to the pool Catherine!)
In other news, Laurel is teething and has NOT been in a good mood this week. It has been a bit of a rough week (for both of us) and tomorrow is not going to be any better. Tomorrow we go to the doctor for her six month checkup. I always enjoy finding out how much she has grown, but we don't like the shots! Here's to hoping next week is better!

Growing Up So Fast!

Laurel has been up so much lately. She is lapping up solids like crazy. The other night Matt and I went out for dinner and I only brought her a bottle. Bad mistake! She tried to eat our food the whole time; she had her mouth open every time we took a bite. She knocked over my glass and tried to get some food out of Matt's mouth. The poor thing! Finally we gave her a little mashed potatoes and she was happy.

Laurel is also trying to sit by herself. She can only sit for about a minute and then she falls over! It is hard for me because I'm so scared she is going to hurt herself. I feel like I need to wrap her in bubble wrap!

Here are a few pictures of Laurel taken lately. We got her a jumper, but as you can see she is a little small for it! She is nothing but legs!


Matt got some bubbles for Laurel. She thought they were really cool and kept trying to pop them.

A Ride in the Swing

Laurel was in her swing the other day and she was just a smiling and cooing. I had to take a few shots of her cute little faces.















Laurel Update!

I know it has been a while since I last posted, but we have been so busy lately! Laurel is doing new stuff every day now and Matt and I just love to watch her grow. Here are a few recent shots of her being super cute.

I wish I loved my bath as much as Laurel does!

Or my toes for that matter!

She is always so happy when she first wakes up!

Look at those pretty eyes!

Teething ring...yummy!

Laurel loves her activity board.
We are having a wonderful summer and I hope all of our friends and family are also!
