4 Months Old

Little Lauren is 4 months old today! What did the birthday girl get? Four shots! Ouch! The good news is that her doctor said she is perfect (like we needed him to tell us that). She weighs just under 11 pounds (5%-ile) and measures just over 23 inches tall (10%-ile). She just started rolling over from her tummy to her back. And over the last week she has been laughing, kicking and flirting with Daddy like crazy. Tonight she gets to try rice cereal for the first time, so you can expect some more video of that to come soon.

I Hate Technology

Grrrr...It has been a week since our fun visit from Tutu and Grandpa Nick, but I've been struggling to get the pictures posted. If it's not one thing, it's another. A problem with the camera's memory card, my inability to get the photos uploaded to the Mac. Well, here are a couple of photos and there will be more as soon as I can get the &^@#*% camera to cooperate!

Needless to say it was a wonderful visit. Lots of cuddles (and a cozy fire), several rounds of the game Candyland (Jack won), and plenty of food (I do my darndest to fatten Paula up)! The cutest part of the entire weekend was when I told Jack that Tutu and Grandpa Nick had just arrived. His eyes lit up and he said, "Tutu and Papa Nick? I LOVE THOSE GUYS!" It made my heart melt. Thanks again for making the journey here. We look forward to our visit to Oceanside in April (Legoland, here we come)!

Cuddle Time

Lauren got some cuddle time with Daddy this morning while Mr. Jack was anti-social. He wanted to drink his hot chocolate in peace! He must've felt like Lindsay Lohan trying to duck the paparazzi. So Mommy snapped a couple of cute pictures of her other two favorite people. We are so looking forward to seeing Tutu and Papa Nick today. Jack has been planning for their arrival all week, telling me, "We play (fill in the blank with any variety of kid's games) with Papa and Tutu?" Yes, Jack, I'm sure we will!

Getting Big

Our little girl is getting so big. She has now slept through the night two nights in a row! She is smiling, babbling and even started laughing a little! Happy Monday everyone!

Chatty Lauren

Our little girl gets more talkative all the time. She especially loves to have full conversations on the diaper changing table. Tonight she was smiling and flirting with Daddy while I made dinner. How cute is she?!

Sibling Bonding

Jack and Lauren had some bonding time today on the playmat. Lauren has been scooting all over the place on her back. Jack (AKA Spiderman) decided to play and cuddle with his baby sister. Moments like these warm this Mommy's heart.

P.S. Sorry for only including the link, but everytime I embedded the video it cut off Lauren's head! Not acceptable!

Batman Birthday

I realize this video is almost two months old, but I just rediscovered it. And it is so cute I had to share it. Ask yourself this: when was the last time you were this stoked?
