Lauren is Eight Months Old!!

It is hard to believe that Lauren is eight months old!! She is definitely starting to show her personality. She has become squirmy!! She still only has two teeth but I think she is in the teething mode again...chewing on everything! She continues to roll over to get to places instead of crawling. She is saying "dada" and yes..."momma!" Sometimes we think she says other words like "Hi!" She has discovered her fingers. She loves taking her pointer finger and touching things or rubbing to feel different textures. It is just so fascinating to just sit back and watch her! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HER~

Lauren is wearing a homemade dress that her Great Grandma Dolly got for her in Hawaii!

Pool Time!

Here are some pictures of Lauren swimming in Nana and Poppy's (my parents) pool for the first time. She absolutely loved it! She was just a kickin'!!

Beach Week at Emerald Isle

Once again the girls (Nana, mom, me, Aunt Deb, Aunt Jayne and Allison) were reunited together again for a beach week...we are so blessed! The boys (Papa, Dad and Robbie) stopped by a couple of times. Adam was lucky enough to get off of work so he stayed a couple of days. The NC crowd was so excited to finally meet Tri for the first time. Lauren was so fascinated by him. She was always watching, smiling, and reaching out for him. They shared and played with their new toys together very nicely...thank you Aunt Deb!! Overall, it was a wonderful week filled with lots of fun in the sun, wonderful dinners, love, laughter, pictures and memories! As always, we look forward to the next time!

Aunt Blair and Uncle Jon were in town and stopped by to see Miss Lauren.

4th of July

Lauren enjoyed her first Fourth of July. We started our evening at church where we had dinner with Robbie's family. Everyone was getting excited for the family reunion the next day. Then we went to my parents house so they could see Lauren in her RED, WHITE AND BLUE. Of course...we took some quick photos. Then we went back home to listen and watch some fireworks that were being shot off in our neighborhood. We didn't take her to see the big show... I thought they would scare her. She will definately see them next year!!

Random Pictures

Robbie went out fishing with two of his good buddies Sean and Ian last week. Here is a picture of Robbie, Sean and Lauren with one of their Mahi-Mahi catches!! Lauren is holding on to her daddy and thinking..."What is that?"

Robbie went out fishing with his cousin Donald the other day. Here is a picture of Robbie and Lauren with a Mahi-Mahi! Lauren was thinking..."Daddy this one is bigger than last week!!"

Here is a picture of Lauren after her bath.
She looked like she was saying, "Yo, how's it goin'?!

Yep...my thumb tastes good!
