Shopping & car carts

10 Months - Lauren is finally starting to walk more, she has taken about 8 steps at this point but she still likes crawling more, shes pretty quick at that. We also got her a toy that she walks behind she love walking behind it and can go forever but mostly she likes running into stuff with it and moving her toys around with it. She just had her well baby Dr appt and is above avg for height and normal for weight. She still has no teeth!!! Hopefully she'll be walking and have teeth by christmas.

Here she is trying to get dads attention while he was putting up the gutters. She pounded on the doors for a good 10-15 minutes until he heard her.

Did a little shopping with Joey & Susie in Downtown Sumner.

New favorite place: LOWES!

They have the big car shopping carts and she loved them! She lounged the whole time!

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!!!
