Lauren's Idea of Fun, Part 1

Lauren loves to learn by reading, watching videos, or watching her parents (really scary). In this picture she is sitting quietly (REALLY scary) while watching one of her sign language videos at Mimi's home in east Texas.

Lauren's Interpretation

Guess who Lauren has been been watching get ready in the morning!

Hey it takes work to be this beautiful!

Spring time calls for some yard work

Almost Gone With The Wind

Our baby girl.

"Catch me if you can"

Lauren just built Mr. Gingerbread a dream house in hopes of trying to lure him in for supper.

Well, the house looked too enticing......for Lauren!

Lauren's Travels

Lauren has been traveling quite a bit lately.

Sometimes she likes to bring a friend (see picture above and below).

And sometimes she likes to just read a good book.

Sleeping Beauty

Example of typical moment spent with Lauren

You are watching this beautiful baby and she looks at you like, "Hey. How are you doing?"

"I'm just standing here looking at my toy."

Then you look away....for any reason.....for a split second, and you hear..........

"LALALALALALALAL...giggle, giggle....LALALALALALALA...giggle, giggle...LALAALALA"

"LALALALALALALAL...giggle, giggle....LALALALALALALA...giggle, giggle...LALAALALA"

So you turn around to see what in the world just happend and you see.......

this beautiful baby and she looks at you like, "Hey. How are you doing?"

Birthday Madness

Let the birthday celebration begin!

First, mommy & daddy took Lauren to have her favorite meal (pancakes) at IHOP.

Mommy was nice enought to help me eat.

But, hey I am ONE year old today and I can feed myself.........

MMMM...I LOOOVVVEEE me some pancakes!!!

Angel?

This is Lauren's "What? I'm not going to get in to anything." look.

Lauren's First - Part Five (w/ a bonus)

time at the movies! And, yes it was a Disney movie (Ratatouille).

After the movies it was only logical for us to move our date to.....

the bowling alley!

I don't want to give away how good Lauren really is at bowling, but I'll just tell you that she didn't even use bumpers!!

Strike A Pose

Ready for the weekend?

Lauren is ready.
