Food time

Lauryn is getting bigger.  She had her second round of shots on thursday.  Someone could have told me that this round was going to be harder than the last round.  I cried so hard.  I definitely have a wimpy child, I guess she gets that from me.  She tried food from a spoon for the first time.  No crazy spitting just the squeals for more.  She definitely likes to eat.  She was in the 77% for height and the 33% for weight.  I was a little surprised and the weight, I actually think she has that baby chunk.  She started this past week at The Goddard school.  The first day was full of tears but by the second she was loving it.  Brian finally got a “poop” day while I was at work.  He told me he thought something was wrong because there was so much of it and it was green.  I could not stop laughing.  I asked him what he did to clean her up and he quickly replied “I put her in the tub and hosed her down”.  I wish I had pictures. 

It really does go fast

Everyone says it,  '’they grow up so fast” and it is so true.  Lauryn is now rolling over, playing in her exersaucer, trying to blow bubbles and this morning she woke up sleeping on her belly.  Of course the most important part is she is getting more hair, so the bows are now staying.  I am really loving every second of it.  Dad gets home for good next week.  That means a couple of things, re-adjustment, more hands, and I think I might be able to do something all by myself.  Here are some pictures of Lauryn playing in her saucer, and no she is not tired.  Everywhere I go people say “oh I think shes tired”  when really she just woke up from a long nap.  She just has her dads sleepy eyes, but it really irritates me.  

The Faces of Lauryn Elizabeth

First time for everything..

So Lauryn and I have stayed busy.  A couple of weeks ago she went to her first race track in Kentucky.  Dad was there working so we went for a visit, and let me tell you she loved it.  I guess it was the noise although her dad would say “no she just loves racing”  regardless she had a good time at the track and with dad.  

Today we had our first day at the pool.  We went with her cousins mason and molly.  She still might be a little young but she sure did look cute…

Great granny’s

Lauryn is so blessed to have 3 great grandmothers.  This past weekend she got to meet Brian’s granny.  Yes she is “granny” or “miss molly” to all of us.  It is so great to see the grandmothers face light up.  She again did great on the plane.  I think it’s a trap! 

She really is getting bigger everyday.  She wants so badly to roll over, if she could just figure out what to do with the other hand she would be there. 

Well since it takes me so long to posting, we are now at fathers day.  We had a great day and Grandpa Johns.  Had a great lunch and watched some golf.  We were really sad not to be with dad on his first fathers day but we will celebrate next weekend.   Hope everyone had a great day.

First plane ride!

Lauryn and I took her first plane ride to see daddy last weekend.  Dad is working in North Carolina for the summer and Laur and I are doing the back and forth thing.  She did really good.. She laughed all the way there and slept all the way home.  I could not ask for a better trip.  She really is getting big, last trip to the dr. we discovered she had her first cold and still has not even had her first shots.  She weighed 10 pounds. We go back this week for her shots. I am so nervous.  This will be the test. You see, I really want to get her ears pierced next month, but, I might have to have Brian take her for that one.    ……Okay so we have had our shots and yes we both cried but only for a second.  She is really wanting to talk and still loves to smile.  There is nothing better than waking up to that smiling face. Last weekend we celebrated Lauryns great grandma’s 94th birthday.  We of course took the “generation picture”.  I think she looks pretty darn good for 94.

 

Does she have a secret !

So the question is..Does she have a secret?  This question applies to Stephani!  How does she find the time to take care of an almost 2 year old, a dog, a husband, house work, work and still find time to BLOG everyday!  I swear she must be super women.  I can barley type this entry.  The time does slip away in my life these days.  Although a bit stressful that I cant always keep up with the laundry, I do love my new life.  Lauryn is getting bigger everyday and loves to smile at 7am!  She really wants to talk but has not figured it out yet, any day now.  She loves to be outside, so lots of walks fill our days off.  Grandmas and Grandpas battle to babysit and friends and family continue to pitch in and help.  I really don’t think I could do it without all the help.  So the question still stands does stephani have a secret or just super powers?
