The World According to Lauren: January 2007

Go Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!

We watched the Bears game today and as you can see, Lauren was totally into it as she lay on Daddy's Cubs blanket. Towards the end of the game, though, Lauren passed out from all the excitement. I think you can tell from her relaxed look, there wasn't a doubt in her mind the Bears would bring it home. You'd better believe we'll be watching them tear up the Saints next week!!!!

The great contortionist

Lauren is learning and growing so much and so fast! Lately she has discovered that she can "talk" in a very high pitched squeal. She also has discovered the joy of grabbing her feet and rocking back and forth. We were so excited on Saturday morning when we (Mom and Dad) both were able to watch her roll over from her back to tummy for the first time! She's also grabbing toys and trying to eat them. She's also eating food now. So far she's had rice cereal, rice cereal with bananas, peaches, sweet potatoes, peas, applesauce and squash. Lauren really likes the peas, applesauce and squash best. Lauren has also begun to twist and turn in crazy ways, so I am posting a picture of her contorting her body in crazy ways and then I had to add a picture of what Gracie does when Lauren is twisting and squealing and we lock her out of our bedroom, so she has no choice but to sit and watch/listen. Needless to say, Gracie does not find Lauren as amusing as we do.

Ain't She Sweet? :)

Here are just a couple of random pictures of Lauren being adorable. Enjoy!

OFFICE PARTY!

One of the girls I work with is going off to grad school, so Lauren and I went in last week for a potluck. Here are pictures of Lauren with my friends, Iwona and Aimee.

Phone pics!

Lauren and I were hanging out and playing the other day and I took some pictures with my phone. The one of her and her Auntie Jen was when we went out for lunch the other day and the others are just us playing around at home. I LOVE the one of her smiling straight into the camera. She's so beautiful (not that I'm biased or anything!

Hanging out, too cool for school, and TOTALLY worth the wait!

Here's Lauren chillin' like a villian and watching some tv...

No autographs PLEASE!!!

I think this says it all...
