Changes

I am more and more amazed by my daughter everyday. Last Friday, while I was eating lunch, Lauren was playing on the floor and she took off crawling towards the fireplace. Once I got over the shock of how fast she got there I got her away, but until then she had taken one crawl and flipped out crying. Since that time, she has been on a roll. She's into everything. She's learn how to open and close cabinets. She's pulling herself up. AND most importantly, she's learned the word "No". All weekend I kept looking at her and realizing how fast she is growing up. Then on Monday, another milestone. I went to get her up from her morning nap and she was standing in her crib. I realized right then and there that it was time to lower the crib. So when Robbie got home we did that. My baby is growing up so fast. It's so cool to watch :)

We are now on a countdown to leave Jacksonville. It seems like the time has flown by. We have 37 days until we go on leave. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. The month of June we'll be up in Durham and doing some traveling, so for all our friends and family up there - we would love to see you before we go.

Just wanted to give some updates! Hope all is well and Happy Thursday!

Nana's Visit

Mom had spring break last week so of course she came for a visit. Here are some pics of her time with us (mostly of Lauren)

Waiting for Gabbie to get out of school
Mommy smile with me
Lauren's new thing is that she wants what we have. I had a drink from sonic so she wanted to try it. She loved it (of course) so I was just feeding her through the straw.
When she's being shy, she'll tilt her head to the side. We had to get a picture

In her booster seat :)


I think mom wore Lauren out :)

Ella Grace

Two weekends ago we came to Durham to meet my new cousin Ella Grace. We were supposed to come for her baby shower but she decided that she wanted to meet the world about 6 weeks before she was supposed to!! :) Anyways, instead of the baby shower we just had a family get together. Those are always fun :) Congratulations Josh & Karen!!! Enjoy the pictures!

P.S. If you are wondering where Josh and Karen's pics are - they were enjoying taking a breather :) They definitely got a break that night with everyone around!
