Laurel Update!

Well Laurel has been a busy girl lately. She is learning so much everyday and she NEVER stops moving! I am having such a great time watching her grow and mature.

Laurel is learning to eat with a spoon. Messy!

One of the rare moments when Laurel is being still. It happens so rarely!

I have never met a child who loves the outdoors so much. She could stay outside all day if I let her!

Doesn't she look like a little doll when she is asleep?

She loves the chair Grandpa Doss got her for her birthday.

And she loves her rocking chair!

Here are a few pictures from music class. There are some new babies this semester and she loves watching them.

She loves the drum at music class.

Here are a few pictures from story time. Laurel loves to listen to stories with her friend Emily.

I bought this for Laurel a long time ago and she didn't like it at first, but she LOVES to jump now.

I hope everyone is well!

Laurel's 1st B-Day!

Laurel's 1st Birthday was alot of fun. We had a party for her and she loved opening her presents and playing with the other babies. Right before the party started she got into the guest bathroom which one of the kids left open and got into the potty and we had to change her shirt. Then after the cake she ended up with no clothes at all, just like when she came into the world!

Enjoy the pictures - warning there are a lot!!

She did NOT like her hat!

Yummy party food!

She had no problem opening presents after all the practice at Christmas!

Hmmm...Cake!

We had to hose off her high chair outside! Yucky!

This is how Laurel treats her guests!

This was the biggest hit of the party for the babies.

Christmas Update!

I finally found a little time to update my blog. Here are some pictures of Laurel on Christmas day. All her cousins on Matt's side came for Christmas and Laurel had a great time playing with them. They were also so kind as to help Laurel open her presents!

Here are a few pictures of Laurel enjoying her Christmas presents!

Long Over Due Update!

Wow! I can't believe it has been two months since I last updated. Laurel, Matt, and I have all been sick on and off since before Christmas. Laurel had a virus and an ear infection which lasted for a few weeks. Then Matt and I got sick with bad colds and we have both been so tired lately that not much has gotten done.

Laurel has been up to so much lately. She understands so much now. We can ask her where her belly is and she pats her belly with this huge smile. You can just say bye or hi and she will wave. Or you can say clap and she will clap her little hands. She also loves to dance and we can say "dance baby" and she will start shaking her butt and hips.


Here are a few pictures from the last few months...Beware there are a lot of pictures!

Here Laurel is trying to steal the camera from me. This is how all her pictures look lately.
(Give me the camera!)

Here is Laurel at music class. She loves the drums!

Laurel is wearing one of my shirts. Don't ask me why!

I love the way she walks with her hands up in the air.

It looks like she is playing football here. Hike!

Laurel looks so cute with a hat or hood on, but...

She hates anything on her head. No bows for her!

Laurel playing with Abby.

Here is Matt playing around with Laurel.

Laurel at storytime. She loves the big teddy bears.

Laurel playing on the slide. She had the best time; I hated to leave!

I will put up some Christmas and Birthday pictures soon (hopefully). I am realizing that nothing much gets done with a baby! Hope everyone is well!
