Since Robbie had duty yesterday, Gabbie and I thought that we would try to have some fun and keep Lauren entertained too. Although I think it was more to keep Gabbie entertained. We went to the park for a couple of hours. Gabbie had a blast. I'll definitely have to remember this one. We baked some cookies later on and then we watched a lot of Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zach & Cody on the Disney Channel :) It was a day of fun!
Gabbie had her next to last soccer game yesterday. They didn't keep score on this one because the coaches of her team (her mom and stepsister) are also the coaches of the other team.
Lauren has been staying with her Aunt Kay for the past 2 weeks. This is only until she can go and stay with her permanent sitter, Danielle, and I am very appreciative of Kay agreeing to watch her for me during these two weeks. When I picked her up from Kay's today she told me that she has nicknamed Lauren "The Fart Queen", a title that she really does deserve. She farts all the time and makes the funniest faces when she's doing it :)
We went to the doctor today for Lauren's two month appointment. I wasn't sure how well Lauren would do but we have been to the doctors office so much in her little life that she is becoming an old pro. Her stats are:
So our daughter is very long. Not sure where she got that from. Maybe from my side? I don't know but Robbie and I aren't very tall so we'll see how tall she gets. We asked the doctor about her fussiness at night and he said she was probably colic. GREAT!!! He did tell us that we were doing everything correctly with comforting her during that time and that we should continue doing what we have been. He said hopefully she will grow out of it by the time we go for our 4 month appointment. He also told us that we needed to start doing some serious tummy time. We've noticed with Lauren that if we do tummy time on our belly's with her then she will lift her head and look around but if we put her on her mat or blanket, she's lazy. So the doctor said that we needed to work hard with her. I was so amazed how well Lauren did with her shots. I thought for sure that we would have problems but other than a slight fever she has done so good. She also hung out with Aunt Kay for the first time today and did excellent. Kay said she was pretty easy. Needless to say, I'm proud of my little one - of both our little ones.
Just wanted to let everyone know that Lauren and I survived our first day apart. It was hard for me to go back to work but I did and she hung out with dad. She went to her first formation with him. So we will see how the rest of the week goes. She is going to spend time with her Aunt Kay but first she has to go to the doctor first thing in the morning. I promise to let you know what they say!
So we finally finished decorating for Halloween. I tried to take pictures this evening but they are some what hard to see.
This one is the blow up pumpkin with a cat on top of it. To the left is a witch (funny looking - not scary) coming out of the ground.
We stacked hay on the front porch and put the pumpkin lights on it. After we go pick out our pumkins, we'll add them to it. The one's on there right now are fake :) On the window is a spider web. I'm not sure how well it looks from the street but oh well. We tried :)
On a sad note, I go back to work tomorrow. I have to leave this precious munchkin. Luckily her daddy is off tomorrow so at least I don't have to be too sad about leaving her...she'll be enjoying her time with daddy. Wish me luck that I can make it through the day without her.
This is how Lauren fell asleep last night
She has Robbie's thumbs and is laying on 2 pillows. Her feet are propped up on his arm. Thank goodness she finaly fell asleep.
This is a little late and most of you have already seen her but here she is...
