Finally, an update :)

Geeesh, I've been slacking on the blog front, but not by choice. I have been slacking here as well as not returning phone calls or emails. It seems like I have been incognito for about a month, but I have been here. It is just hard to focus on those things when Lauren doesn't nap for longer than 45 minutes at a time and while that happens, I am trying to get some things done. By the time she is put into bed for the night, all I do is relax! So I apologize to everyone for my lack of being accessible.

Lauren is growing and growing and growing! She is currently going through her 4 month growth spurt, therefore, her nighttime sleep is now disrupted two times a night because she is a hungry girl! I can already tell she is longer, but that won't be verified until her 4 month appointment on March 9th. I put her month by month pictures side by side and I can't believe my eyes! My neighbor had her little girl, Olivia Hope, on January 29th and when I go there and hold her, I swear Lauren was never that small, though she was! To prove to me that she is getting bugger, she is now sitting in her Bebe seat and her exersaucer all by herself! Lauren also had her first play date with my sister-in-law's sister's little girl (whoa, did you follow that) Emma Claire (E-Claire). I think Lauren didn't know what to do with herself, but she handled it well none the less. And this past weekend we celebrated Lauren's Baptism. We went to church with the family and everyone came back to the house for a little cake party and Lauren handled all the people and attention really well, but was tired at the end of the day!

Other than that, we have just been waiting for Spring to arrive because we are tired of being locked indoors due to the cold weather and continuos snow! And what doesn't help is that I HATE driving in the snow and then to try it with a little one in the back, I can't do it. So again, to all my friends, I apologize!

Anywho... I promise it will not be as long in between posts... but don't hold it against me if it is :)
