Hula girl

Our friends Jeremy & Tiffany just got back from Hawaii and brought Lauren some presents.

A hula girl outfit

and a book
She not into reading books yet, just trying to eat them and throw them.

Then she gets upset because she can't get to the things she throws. Hopefully she'll learn soon

Soccer in Portland @ 5 months

This was Laurens first soccer tournament (the first of many). We were super busy having two teams and being down in Portland and it was 80 degrees the whole time. It worked out ok and we didn't have any games overlapping so Jamie & Lauren pretty much just hung out during all the games on the sideline and Joe did all the coaching for us. We also had a lot of parents (on our girls team U-18) that like to steal lauren, so Jamie got some nice breaks and was able to enjoy the sun and the games for a little bit. We were mostly running back and forth to games and then to the hotel all weekend so Lauren didn't get much for naps but I think she did ok, she def liked all the attention she got.

Here is the tent she was in when the sun was out @ the games.

Once the ball went out of bounds hit the bleachers and rolled into her tent, I don't think she even noticed.

Here is Joes boys team (U-11) bus. His assistant coach bought it and fixed it up. You can't miss it driving down I-5. We took this picture as we were driving home from the tourney.

This is when Lauren decided she likes the camera and tries to grab it whenever I get it out. At least it means she is usually looking at the camera when I take a picture.

Still recovering from my cold, you can see some snot in this pic.


And she is FINALLY fitting in to her 6 month old clothes, yeah!

Swim & Nap

More swimming pictures from Camerons birthday party at the watsons house.

Then Nap time with Uncle Joey. He's like a big fluffy pillow. Best Nap ever!

SWIMMIN TIME!

It was finally hot enough to use the watson pool. Or at least hot enough for Lauren. It was 95 degrees out which is HOT for Auburn. She didn't mind the pool, but I wouldn't say she loved it. But look how cute her suit is and its a little to big but the smallest one I could find! with her hair and her size she def has the watson gene.

Rice Cereal - Take 1

Here is Lauren eating rice cereal for the first time. 6/14/2008
She got pretty good at it and I think its still her favorite food so far.

This is laurens favorite toy.

she especially likes it when you put toys in the tray. even though she usually just tosses them off. this toy has been a lifesaver!!!!!

1st boat ride
