Lauren is Ten Months Old

Yikes...ten months old! It feels like I was just writing the post for nine months old. Does anyone know how to slow down time? If you do...call or email!! Anyways, Lauren is crawling and pulling herself up on things. She will walk if you guide her. She has two teeth coming in on the top and another one on the bottom. She is making all sorts of facial expressions. If you want cheap entertainment...come on by! She is talking up a storm. She is the best thing in the world and we thank God for her everyday! Here are some pictures of Lauren in her camoflauge dress from Aunt Tammy, Uncle Jamie and Hunter. I love the lace around her neck and check out her PIGTAILS!!



Look Aunt Deb...I'm "SO BIG!!"







Lauren at the Mullet Festival

My mom and I brought Lauren to her first Mullet Festival Saturday. We had a great time! Lauren and Nana (my mom) even did a little "dancin' in the street" to the band that was playing! She was definitely checking everyone and everything out. It was great to see friends who I haven't seen in a while and for them to meet Lauren. Here are a few pics...

Lauren was so tired but I had to get a picture with Erin

Lauren visits Onslow Beach

Last weekend Lauren, my mom and my Nana headed to Onslow Beach. We made our little spot down at Riseley Pier. We enjoyed the beautiful weather, sandwiches, stroller walk, conversations and of course watching Lauren play with sand. It was a beautiful day to get out and take in some salty air!!

Lauren is Nine Months Old!!

If there is one word to describe Lauren it is HAPPY!! She is always smiling or talking and is the "bestest baby" as my mom would say. The only time she is fussy is when she sees her bottle getting made or is getting sleepy. She is sitting up by herself now. She is starting to scoot around but has not started crawling yet. I think it is in the near future. We had to move her crib down to the lower level because she has mastered getting up on her knees and looking out the side of her crib. She is getting "SO BIG" as my Aunt Deb would say!!!












Go TARHEELS!!

Robbie and I went to our first Carolina Tarheel football game. We had a blast!! Carolina played the Citadel and beat them 40-6! Lauren stayed the night at my parents house since it was a late game. It was her first night away from home and us!! The game and Lauren were both wonderful!! Here are some pics from the game...





At halftime, they recognized this past seasons basketball team for becoming NATIONAL CHAMPIONS and presented them with their rings...GO TARHEELS!!!

Lauren Visits the Aquarium

Robbie and I decided we wanted to take Lauren to see the fishes at the aquarium. She absolutely loved it!! She kept turning her head in all directions and pointing at the tanks. Sometimes it would sound like she would say, "What's that?" She picked out a souvenir from the gift shop...her own little sea turtle! After the aquarium we went and had lunch in downtown Morehead City on the waterfront. Our little family had a perfect day! Love~
