Lauren Update

Lauren is now 19.5 months old. She is learning new things every day and surprises us constantly with the things she says and does. She knows the following body parts: nose, eyes, ears, mouth, chin, head, arms, elbow, foot, toes, and of course, belly.

She LOVES pens and pencils and writing.

She can be quite the stinker. We have two rules at our house: no climbing on the table, and no throwing food. She disrespects both of them on a regular basis.

She counts like this: one, six, seben, eight, nine, six, seben! Sometimes she throws a ten in there. And sometimes after the ten, she throws in a "toes."

She likes nursery most weeks. She still cries when we separate at ECFE, but only for a couple of minutes, then she's happy the rest of the time. She loves to snuggle and give kisses, even to people she doesn't know. She loves to sing and dance. Favorite songs include the ABC song; Twinkle Twinkle; Baa Baa Black Sheep; Wheels on the Bus; Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes; Three Little Fish, Clap Your Hands, and more.

A year ago she did tricks like this.Now she does tricks like this.

I love my baby.
