Finally, little girl, you rolled! However, why was it from your back to your belly? You took your time and did it so gracefully!...but we havent seen it again....

Oh my! Laughing! Giggling!

How can this be my first post since October! Guess we are pretty busy! Lauren- your first laugh was October 23! you started laughing at Thanksgiving and we are still waiting for your first roll! You are the dolliest doll ever. What a wonderful baby girl you are and we are so happy and lucky to have you! your brothers love you beyond belief.

Lauren's Weight Check

Lauren-You weighed 7#15ozs at your 1 month check up! That's a pound heavier in 2 weeks!!

Lauren comes home!

Lauren-You are home today! All of your grandparents were at our house and we had a nice barbecue! You seem to like your car seat and your brothers love you! Will points at you, laughs, and says, "BABY"! His new favorite word. Will tries to get in your swing and bouncy seat (and is successful). Christian wanted to hold you alot! Grammy is staying with us all week and Daddy will be home for the 2 weeks after that!

Lauren Ann is here!

Lauren Ann is here! I have not blogged about you yet because we needed to meet you! I had a great pregnancy with you and you arrived at 11:07am on September 18, 2009 weighing 6 # 12 ozs., 19.5 inches. What a sweetheart you are. You definitely look like you are related to Christian and Will but with more hair and it's dark!! You have mommy's lips we think. Your delivery started at 6am with Pitocin getting started at 7am, water AROM at 8am by Dr. Alvarez, Epidural at 9:30a and Epidural failure starting around 10:30a. Whoa, Mommy felt everything. What an experience! Ouch! But low and behold you are perfect and Dr. Alvarez was there! Daddy is the best labor coach and thank goodness your labor was not as long as the boys! Grammy and Gabbo were home with Christian and Will and Nonni and Ga came a little while after you were born to meet you! Your big brothers and all of your grandparents and Aunt Jen came in the afternoon to meet you!!! Your are a little sprout but you started eating great from the get go!

Christian starts skating lessons!

Thornton Park-Snow Plow Sam I class begins! The night before baby sister is supposed to arrive (she is due the 24th but I will be induced tomorrow at 6 am!  Mommy and Daddy took you and Gabbo came, too! You did a great job with the help of a construction cone!! Miss Ryan is your teacher and there are a few other assistants! You learned how to fall and get up! 5 more weeks to go and we will see if you move on to Snow Plow Sam II!
