5 month Weigh-In

Once again we weighed our not-so-little LadyBug on the fish scales, and she came in at a roaring 20lbs! This puts her in the 90-95th percentile, yet once again! Such a big girl...we tried to measure her heighth as well, but she's a squirmy one. Best guess is 27 inches, or so. :)

Lauren's First Visit to the Pool


Lauren went to the pool for the first time a couple weeks ago when Todd's cousins were in town from Texas. She wasn't so sure at first, but once she got used to the sensation of the water she seemed to relax and enjoy it a bit more!

Here we tried floating. I tihnk Lauren may want to be in control all the time (where on EARTH would she have inherited THAT trait?!? ahem!) as she kept trying to sit up in the water.

Just the girls, taking a dip...



...then laying about poolside after our swim! :)
Such a serious face on such a serious child!

Sweet Dreams



Our LadyBug fell fast asleep in Mommy's arms tonight. It's hard to know who was more content with the snuggle time.

She looks so sweet...I could just eat her with a spoon!

Lauren's First Softball Game

Daddy's team, the Benchwarmers, played an early game Monday night, so Lauren and Mommy went to cheer our favorite catcher on...

As you can see, Miss Lauren was all ready to jump in if they needed her, ball in hand! From the look on her face, I think it's clear that she takes the sport quite seriously. Hmm...do you think she gets that from her Umpy???

All that cheering just plumb tuckered her out!

Year of the Pig

It is, somewhat unfortunately, the Year of the Pig, according the the Chinese calendar. So to commemorate her niece's birth, Aunt Sarah bought her a onesie with a pig on it...lest you think I am just being cruel about the girl's chunky thighs... :)

Our Little Firecracker

Hard to believe that six years ago today, Todd and I had our first date...and last year on this day we shared the exciting news that our family was going to be plus one! Now this year, here is our little firecracker, all decked out in her stars and stripes to celebrate the 4th!

Happy Birthday America!
