Lauren and her sleep...

Well...I have been asked many times how Lauren is doing with her sleep at night and my response is....OUTSTANDING!! I tell you what...Robbie and I could not ask for a more perfect daughter. Her night routine is to have a bottle between 7:30-8:00pm, bath between 8:00-8:30pm, storytime, and then off to bed. Can you believe that she will fall asleep around 9:00pm and not wake up until around 8:00am or even later the next morning!!! See why she is so perfect...how lucky are we!!! :)

Happy Birthday Poppy!

Last night we went to my parents house for my dad's birthday. We had pizza, cake and ice cream. Lauren got to visit with Nana, Poppy, and Uncle Adam. Lauren got her Poppy an eco-friendly seed starter kit to plant his Poppy seeds in. How smart is she to find Poppy seeds for her Poppy!!

Lauren is Three Months Old!

Can you believe it...Lauren is already three months old!! She is growing up so fast. Lately she has been amazed with her hands and feet. Once she focuses in on them she stares and smiles at them. She has been cooing a lot and trying to talk. Most of the time she sounds like a Teradactyl!

Lauren dressed for church! My mommy wore this shirt when she was my age!



Lauren and Mommy ready for the Carolina game! Go Tarheels!!

I stayed at Nana and Poppy's house while mommy and daddy were at work today. Uncle Adam came to visit too! We had a photo taking day! Thank you Ms. Bethany for my crochet shoes...they are so comfy!! Thank you Ms. Joanna for my crochet hat and shirt too!

CHEESE!!!

Lauren is AMAZED with...

Lately, we have found one object that will always make Lauren smile...a ceiling fan!! She loves looking at any ceiling fan while it is on. She will watch it and just smile. After Lauren had finished her bottle, I had her sitting up on my lap. She quickly found the ceiling fan in the living room. Robbie grabbed the camera and here are a few shots of Lauren enjoying her entertainment...the ceiling fan!!

Lauren is Two Months Old!

I can't believe Lauren is already two months old. She is growing up so fast and changing before our eyes. Here are some pictures I took of our baby girl today!!

Okay mom...here is my smile!!

Hi mom!

Hey you...you wanna mess with me?!?!

Where is my pacie???

Are you looking at me??

Hello up there!!

Look at me I'm...DANCING!

I know...I need to get in control of my arms!

Grandma Karen and Grandpa Robert Babysit!

Well...Robbie and I went on our first date tonight since Lauren was born. We went bowling at MACDADDY'S (I won!!) and ate dinner at Ballyhoos. The evening was great and we only talked about her a few times...yeah right!! Grandma Karen and Grandpa Robert took care of her. It felt so weird not having her with us but we enjoyed ourselves and I know Lauren did too with her grandparents. Thank you Grandma Karen and Grandpa Robert!

Lauren Meets the Conner's

On Friday, we had our good friends Ann Marie, Paul, and their two daughters Ashton and Ainsley over for dinner. It was good to see them and catch up. Lauren was well taken care of throughout their visit by Ashton and Ainsley. They helped me out tremendously by: helping make her bottle, holding her and talking to her, playing with her while she played in her gym, making sure her blanket stayed on her while in her swing, and finally making sure Lauren always had her pacifier when she wanted it. They were always so gentle and careful with her! Thank you girls!!!

Lauren Meets the Maryland Clan!

Lauren met many new faces from Maryland this past weekend. She met her great-grandma Mum Mum and her friend Mark, and her Uncle Jimmy and his two kids Chrissy and Jimmy. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera and did not get any pictures. Sorry!

She also met Aunt Trish and Rich who came for the weekend trip.

Lauren was very excited to meet everyone. She was actually awake! Lauren, Robbie, and I enjoyed seeing everyone and catching up! We hope to see them all again soon!

Lauren Goes to School!

I finally took Lauren to my school for the first time. My first grade class has been patiently waiting to meet her since August!! I had two students who were moving so I thought it would be a perfect time to stop by before they left. My class was amazed by her. They said, "She is so small!" and "Oh...she is so cute!" I think they liked her...but who wouldn't!

Afterwards, Lauren met two of my best friends Meredith and Shannon who work at the school with me. She did not have a choice because they "kidnapped" her! He..He!

Meredith and Lauren...say CHEESE!!!

Shannon is expecting her first child in March. She is having a boy and his name is going to be Brody. We joke about how she is carrying Lauren's future husband! Robbie hates that!!

It was good to see everyone at school and to catch up on what has been going on. My time at home is quickly flying by. It is hard to believe I will be back at school on March 2...eeek!!

Lauren Visits Grandy and Papa

After a long day of shopping, Lauren, Nana Laura, and I stopped by to visit Grandy and Papa. We try to stop by each time we are in town. Lauren likes to visit them!! Grandy and Papa were so excited to see us! They were so amazed at how she has grown. We love Grandy and Papa so much!!
