We break out the baby pool! I just couldn't resist this purchase! It had been unseasonably warm during the end of April, so I decided to entertain Lauren. Since I myself love the water, I figured now was the perfect time to introduce water outside of the bathtub to Lauren. We put some water in it, let it warm in the sun and then let her get wet! She had an absolute blast, as did I!
In addition to the pool, we also ventured out to our first trip to the zoo. Well, the first two trips to the zoo, once a day for two days! We took advantage of being able to get out of the house as you can tell. But, we ended up paying the price! On the following Saturday night, Lauren slept a whopping 14 hours without waking... I thought it was the fresh air that made her sleep so well, but it was a fever :( She had a low grade fever for a day or so followed by some not so nice diapers. It stinks when you know your child isn't feeling well and there isn't anything you can do about it. All she wanted to do was sleep on me and it was not a desirable situation because she was warm as was I!
Lauren is now on the move! Well, rolling from one end of the room to the other, she just can't stop! She has also begun the scooting process, it is something other than stationary and that I take as progress! Baby proofing, here I come! She absolutely loves to discover everything in every room! She has always been a studier and now with all these new fascinations, it is quite entertaining. In addition to the movement she has outgrown her bouncy seat and in the next few days, the swing... they were great while they lasted, it will be nice to get them out of the family room!
Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah, Easter! Lauren made it through church without a fuss, which isn't uncommon and she looked so very sweet in her little pink and white dress, matching hat and cute little shoes that Grandma Karen got for her.
Since she is now 7 months, she is eating up a storm! Doctor Tara said she could start meats, she did, she loves them... I hope this pattern continues because I will not be a short order chef when it comes time for table food. Period.
On some other notes... Our Sister-in-Law had her second little boy earlier this month. We welcomed Samuel Joseph on May 14th. Compared to his big brother, Jake, I think Sam will be a breeze ;)
Also, we celebrated our friends Wedding this past weekend at Longaberger Golf Club in Newark, Ohio. It was my first overnight away from Lolo and I feel I did a great job, I only checked in twice ;) She did great at Grandma & Grandpa's and I feel she will want to go there a lot more, don't they all?
