Birthdays this week belong to Papa John (ha ha...I never said the "papa" with the "john" til now) and Lauren's cousins Liam and Phoebe who are 61, 5, and 3 respectively. It was a weekend of celebration (and lots of cake). Pics of both festivities are below!
Baby Lauren is defining her own schedule lately---- regardless of what she is supposed to be doing. Yesterday = bad, today = good. Sometimes she just fights going to sleep at all. Ughh. At least she still knows when it is night and sleeps pretty solid, only waking once or twice to eat and then right back to sleep.
Tomorrow is vaccine day with her pediatrician which is no fun at all! Odds are that she will tolerate it well but we worry anyway. I wonder how much she weighs now?
In better news, Lauren has inherited a new toy from the Newtons: The Exersaucer! Wow! This thing is packed with goodies to play and interact with. She LOVES it! It's a bit too big for her to navigate but with some added blankets she does fine. See video at the top of this post (taken before we thought about adding blankets, oops!).
Speaking of video....Last week Jacqui and Alex were featured on channel 7 for choking hazards (Alex inhaled some peanuts last year). The Itson's get more air time than a little girl who swallowed a spoon! Nice job! You can see it on youtube here.
