Shimmy Shimmy

When April went in to check on Lauren this morning, she had wiggled her way to the other side of the crib!  Are almost-2-month olds supposed to be able to do that?  When April put her down for a nap in the morning, she did the same thing!  Crazy girl.

And now here are some photos of her propped up in the corner of the couch.  :D

 That's not the couch!  How did that get in here?

 Fancy dress! 

 Big yawn!

 New fuzzy jammies. 

Her hair is definitely more brown and less black than it was!  And she smiles a lot now when she sees peoples' faces, which is super cute!

The Post Every Other Parent Hates

When we first brought Lauren home we weren't really sure what to do with a new baby and kind of forgot about sleeping and schedules and stuff.  For the first few weeks she was mostly pleasant but would get pretty cranky when we tried to put her down for naps (and she was waking multiple times in the night).  A few weeks ago the light bulb went off, April figured out Lauren's sleep schedule, and she's like a new baby!  She's been sleeping for 10-12 hour stretches at night, takes multiple loooong naps during the day, and is pretty much only awake for a few hours.  And when she's awake she's super happy and alert and ready to hang out and look around.  Her awake window is about 1 hour (or less) and then she's ready for another nap!  We used to think Parker was the best sleeper ever, but I think Lauren might have him beat.

Many Faces of Lauren

Here are some of the faces Lauren makes all the time.  She's pretty expressive (and she also makes a lot of grunting and stretching noises, too).  

Ready to go in the car seat!

 Serious Lauren.

 Smiley Lauren?

 Sleepy Lauren.

Bored Lauren. 

 Still sleepy Lauren.

Tiny Lauren

Here's an old photo from last month that I forgot to post!  Lauren is already so much bigger now than she was in here!

We actually just had a doctor's appointment last week for some measurements and to make sure things were going well.  She's now 10 pounds, 10 ounces (she was 7 pounds, 15 ounces when she was born) and she's 21.5 inches tall (19 inches when she was born).  So she's growing!  Yay!

More Fancy Home Made Clothes!

These are courtesy of April's co-worker, Lisa.  Thanks, Lisa!  Lauren looks cute in them!

Here's Papa and his most favourite granddaughter ever.

Parker and Nana and Baby.

Parker taking a photo of his face.

Parker just missing his face and getting Papa's elbow as he looks in the freezer.

I think April took this....  the composition is a bit too nice for Parker.

Parker going for a drive with Papa!  Beep beep!

Parker is so big and Lauren is so little!
