First of all, Lauren got through her shots without any reaction and only a few minutes of crying...well, screaming (see sleeping baby-in-carseat pic taken just after the visit). I have never seen such a shade of purple in human skin as when she screamed. Poor baby! We have decided to spread her vaccines over more doc visits so she'll end up with more days of being poked than normal but I hope she forgives us one day! Next shots: Aug 20.
A week later and Lauren went to the beach for the first time. She only spent a minute actually on the sand but it counts doesn't it? She really likes getting out and seeing new things. Speaking of getting around- we got a new SUV. The laurenmobile has all the requisite airbags and safety gizmos and none of the fuel economy! It's an Acura MDX and it's one awesome car.
She SLEEPS! The sleep gods have finally truly blessed us (no more fake outs) and Lauren sleeps through the night from 9-4:30 (or there about) and then a quick feed and back down until 7. Unfortunately, I have been staying up to watch Olympic coverage and haven't actually benefited by this yet. The Olympics this year are actually good! I didnt even watch the last 2 at all.
Other noted development: She can grab and hold toys (and wants to eat them all). If you pull her up to sit, she will always insist on standing instead. She laughs out loud and giggles! She droooooools. She can sit up in her bebe pod chair. She can roll over (but hates it when she gets on her tummy). And despite us speaking perfectly good English to her, she still babbles total nonsense. ;)
We dont know exactly how big she is but the 6-9 mo sleeper I put on her tonight for the first time just barely covers her length. Oh my! She is a long one for sure.
Below are some pics from the last few weeks. Enjoy! (click photo to make larger)
