We Love Her So Much!

There are just so many things I love about Lauren and the stage she is in right now. I don't ever want to forget this...

1. She shares her yogurt every morning with the picture of the baby on the yogurt container. She wants to make sure that baby gets yogurt too. Little Love is so sweet, and so kind.

2. She loves to accessorize with scarves, bracelets, tutus, and hair bows... and then go play with her cars and legos and balls and light sabers. She loves what she loves, and I love that!

3. One of her very, very favorite things is dip. Dip for chips, dip for eggs, dip for chicken nuggets, dip for anything that doesn't normally require dip. If she doesn't have any dip, that's okay, she'll use her drink instead. Gross and so messy, but really adorable.

4. My dancing girl! She dances just about anywhere she goes. Down the hallway, around the kitchen, in the car. And she can follow her favorite moves and choreography from Sesame Street!

5. Lauren is so loving. She gives hugs and kisses and high fives all day long. At bedtime she'll give you kisses as long as you let her in her attempt to bribe you not to leave her room.

6. She is trying so hard to add to her vocabulary! Mama, Dada, Grandma, Papa. Zoey, black, blue, red, and duck are her consistant words. But she will attempt to say just about anything.

7. Everything is funny to Lauren. Her giggle is our favorite sound in the whole word.

8. She has such a love for animals, and likes to pretend to be various animals. She'll crawl around on the floor while making puppy noises, lay on her tummy and splash in the bath to be a fish, and waddle like a penguin.

9. She has many stuffed animal friends that must be tucked in and sleeping with her. The list of absolute necessities for every nap and bedtime include Gorilla, Teddy, Monkey, Froggie, Bunny, and at least one baby doll. In addition to her pink blankie. I find her with her animals surrounding her on every side nearly every night. My little cuddle bug :)

10. When asked, she can tell you exactly where her baby sister is. She'll point to my tummy if you ask her where baby sister or Zoey is (most of the time... sometimes she points to Robbie or to her own tummy, lol). And she can say Zoey, too! It sounds a little like "Zzzzyaya" and is about the cutest thing ever.

We love everything about our little girl! 20 1/2 months old... Seriously... when did that happen? She is so grown up, so independent, and so sweet and loving. I love you, baby!
