Maybe not a model after all...

So Lauren had another photo op and here are the results. It took us quite a while to get a few good ones, she doesn't like to sit still long enough to get her picture taken so it was a very long process. She was happy crawling or playing with something but besides that not so happy as you will see in a few of these. Also the other day Lauren started walking @ 9 months + 1 week. She has gotten up to 3 steps now and she will probably be at 4 today, it seems like she adds one more step every day. I'll try and get some video of her later this week.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Laurens New Language

Here is Laurens no favorite way of communicating.

Everyday its something new with her.

My new ride

Finally found a free day where we could take Lauren to the mall to get her pictures taken (I've been trying to do this for the past 3 months). We won't have the pictures for a few weeks (they aren't very good anyway). But Lauren did fall in love with the strollers there. She had such a blast with the wheel and thinking she was driving, she loved it. Thinking of going to the mall just so she can ride in one again.

Ferry to Bainbridge

So Lauren finally got to go on her first ferry ride on saturday 11/8 @ almost 9 months old. You'll see that she enjoyed it, but she pretty much enjoys everything. We had to go over to Bainbridge Island for Joes boys team game and they won! Can't believe how much it costs to take the ferry, crazy that people take that thing everyday.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
I hope everyone got lots of candy last night. I know we had a great time. Everyone came over to our house for food and then trick or treating. Lauren dressed up as a kangaroo! We took Lauren and Jake & Cameron (who were blue power rangers) trick or treating up and down our block. Lauren was to cute and was actually very well behaved and she even got some candy. At one house they let the kids pick their own candy out of the bowl and we think Lauren was trying to get a yellow bag of M&M's and instead she grabbed the edge of the bowl and tried to take it. She was pretty cute and stayed up until 10:30 which is WAY past her bed time. But everyone had a good time.

Look I'm a kangaroo!!!

Lauren and her Balloon

Lauren is still growing so much every day. She is now 8.5 months old and finally starting to fit into her 9 months clothes (at least some of them). She talks all day to herself mostly da-da and ma-ma and some random things in between. Today we went to pick up joes truck from the service place and one of the salesmen (that she flirted with) gave her a balloon and she has played with it non-stop since yesturday. She still isn't sleeping through the night and she still loves to play with things that aren't toys like cameras, cords, boxes, bags, phones and anything else she can get her hands on. Shes a quick little bugger.

October 2008 - 8 months old!

Still loves climbing up on EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Says ma-ma and da-da and ba-ba alot randomly throughout the day and is crawling EVERYWHERE!!!
Thanks aunt susie for my new baby legs!



Still loves shoes, shes is obsessed with shoes and feet. She likes to untie them and then try and stick them in her mouth.

Went to Eloise's 1st birthday party with the big kids, she was the littlest one there but she didn't seem to mind. Makes me appreciate how little she still is.
Went to spooner farms to get pumpkins with the Gadsby's. Today she turned 8 months old!! 10/12/2008
