All about Lauren

These days it has been all about Lauren and the dress-up doll she has become for mommy! We couldn't possibly fathom our life without this spunky little princess and Dad is completely head over heals in love with her. Everyone else just laughs at her independent little personality!

Lauren is 18 months Old!

All I have to say is, Lauren, you rule this house. :)

 At 18 Months, you... 

• Weigh 31.5 lbs (99%) and 34 inches (97%)
• Wear size 5 diapers, 2T clothes (some 3T play t-shirts), and 6.5 size shoe
• Officially off the bottle at 1 year and off the pacifier at 14months. I was really apprehensive to take the paci away, but you did excellent!
• At 18 months, I showed you the last pacifier I saved (for whatever reason) and asked you to throw it away, you did not hesitate (made mama proud)
• Since you began to walk, it was mostly on your tip toes, but lately you've been walking flat, which is good for cute shoes ;)
• You are learning to talk as you go and you are definitely starting to repeat a lot more now...
• You can say: dada, juju, ball, bow (hair bow), bow (rainbow), ball, boon (balloon), leche, agua, car, juice, go, hi, bye, phone, down, shoes, mama (only a few times, but I'll count it), around, belly, bu (blue), kitty, yay, yum, again, oh-oh, tee (tree), cheese, hello
• You now have 14 teeth
• You do not like anyone feeding you, so that means that you know how to feed yourself :)
• Can watch TV alllll day if we let you
• Love playing with mommy's phone. Recently discovered "Talking Tom "and you found it very amusing.
• Favorite toys: drums, stacking toys, and puzzles. You are really good at puzzles!!!
• You do not have a whole lot of stranger anxiety, but you are also not very friendly to strangers --GOOD!
• Make the cutest and silliest faces
• You have a little temper :-o
• You like taking selfies
• You like wearing hats
• You did great with your first bouncy house experience
• You did great at your first dentist appointment
• You love bubbles!
• Love to pull up your shirt and pat your belly
• You are still a mama's girl and I'm praying it stays that way for a LONG time!
• Gives the B-E-S-T kisses (not hugs yet)
• Loves grandma's sopa, just like your brother at this age
• You also love all kinds of fruit, just like your brother still does. 
• Still love bath time
• After bath time we read books.  You love books so much, you make me read you about 10 books every night
• You are now sleeping with "baby", a small pink bunny
• Sleep from 8:30-6:30
• You  sleep in the exact same right corner of crib every single night (your favorite spot)!
• You went potty on 3/4/2015, a fluke maybe, but still a BIG DEAL!!!
• You have a big brother that LOVES you so much and even kisses you every night before you go to bed
• We love you and your brother more than anything!!!!
