Houston.....we have a tooth!!!

Yes, that's right, a tooth has finally broken through the gums! She is still drooling like crazy, but she's not quite as fussy now that it has arrived. Daddy's birthday was yesterday, so nana and papa were up. Mommy thought she felt a little something rough Thursday night, but Nana confirmed the arrival as Lauren chomped on her knuckle! Today it's pretty visible if she'll let you look!

The other latest attempt at a milestone is pulling herself to a standing position. She is rolling over and around more, so she can get herself from laying position to a half sitting position at the edge of the crib. Then she grabs hold and rocks and grunts and goes on. She also attempts this in the bathtub but it doesn't work out quite as well. So with mommy's help, she made it to standing position. Only for mommy to realize that since we are at this point, the crib railing needs to be raised each time she's put to bed!

Lauren smiling behind her binky at mommy while she tries to hoist herself up. She sometimes goes to bed with the bink but spits it out shortly after going down. However now she finds her binky when she wakes up and stuffs it back in her mouth.


Lauren standing after being helped up. She's concentrating, so there were no smiles for this shot!

Here's our big girl riding her car. She hasn't managed to scoot around yet, but has scooted backwards.

Hey! We heard that she is talking now- we saw Beth & Emily this weekend and told us the "hi, da da" story. How fun is that? Great to see that you are doing well- and we checked out your house online- it's really cute. Hope that the fsbo goes well for you- we'll keep our fingers crossed. When are you set to move?
