As I scrappbook these two pages, I am astounded at how different Lauryn looks in just a short time (she is currently just about 4 months old) and these pictures were taken two months ago. She just gets cuter and more fun each day as she grows and learns all about the world around her. I know she is not my first child and I have been through these stages before, but it always amazes me to watch them as they figure things out like finding their hands, their ears, their hair, and then grasping at toys etc. My favorite thing right now of course is her smile that just lights up the room. She wholeheartedly smiles right up into her eyes, and that recognition of "oh there is my mommy" just makes my heart melt.
Lauryn has many fun things to wear that have been gifts from some very special people. The giraffe onsies and bow were from some of my co-workers, and Lauryn and I were playing dress up on the changing table. I am still getting used to the "bow thing" so there will be more to come as she gets bigger and more hair! The polka dot dress she is wearing is a gift from a co-worker that bought it for her in Oregon on vacation. She was very excited to give it to her and not only did Lauryn wear it to her very first luncheon but it was her very 1st dress she has worn! We took lots of pics (of course) and she is going to wear this dress for Easter as well. My favorite thing to put on were the bloomers, remember that boys don't wear bloomers, and I look forward to the next time she wears some...maybe they will have ruffles! Oh the fun of having a girl! Thank you again Liz, for the very sweet polka dot dress, Kathleen, the wild onsie and Tiffany, the giraffe bow (and many others too).
Although most of you are OVER the superbowl this year, we have special memories from the day that I wanted to share. We really had so much getting in the spirit of the game this year. While we usually don't have a fav football team, we chose to root for The Packers this year. My grandpa Bert was a HUGE Greenbay Packers fan so we were honoring him that day (no one in our family are Steelers fans!), plus the team colors are one of my favorites! We spent the whole day at Sandy and Dave's house, ate, watched the game, played, and even did some friendly betting. Logan is really getting into football these days and he was so excited for this game! As we were getting ready for the day, I even found him putting on lotion after his shower and combing his eyebrows ( not typical behavior for an 8 year old). When asked what he was doing, he said "Mom, I getting ready for the biggest game of the year!" Of course I should have known that right? Eddie even made one of his fun cakes for the festivities. Overall, Super fun for a Super Bowl!!!
