Peeeeeek

A BOO!!!

Double Trouble

Mommy doesn't like me to suck on my thumb and fingers. I like to sneak them in my mouth every chance I get. Look at this trick Mommy! It is my thumb and toe at the same time!
Mommy says, "AHHH! Get them out of there!!" Mommy has been trying to stop me from birth. Aunt Eileen says she's fighting a losing battle, since she, my Grandma Helen, and their brothers all sucked their thumbs. Mommy forgets I'm already an expert. Remember those pictures you have of me in your tummy with my thumb in my mouth? She is still bound and determined not to have a thumb (or toe) sucker.

Bath Time

Laurel peeks through the towel after her bath. She enjoys kicking and playing in the water. I can't wait til she can sit up because she gets pretty slippery in my hands in the tub. She likes to reach for her temperature duck, which floats away as her hand gets close, then she is really on a mission to get it. Hold on tight Mommy!

Posing 11.24.07

This is one of my favorite pictures of Laurel. People often tell us she looks like the Gerber baby. Others say she has pretty eyes. This picture seems to capture her features. I think she's beautiful...but then I'm the mommy.

Rocking?

Daddy Time

It must be Wednesday! Daddy gets to spend one on one time playing with Laurel while mommy goes to Young Women.

Tickle Time

Laurel has the cutest smile and loves to be tickled. I think I enjoy seeing her smile as much as she enjoys the tickles.

Feeding Time

Laurel has been eating rice cereal and stage 1 foods for about a month now. She likes carrots, beans, and peas. She didn't seem to like squash, but we aren't giving up on that, yet. We started spoon feeding her when she quit sleeping as well through the night. She was waking every couple of hours to eat which was a change for us. She seems to enjoy eating. We don't usually give her the spoon.

Citrus Tower

We went to the Citrus Tower in Clermont November 17, to see the orange groves. It was only fitting since Weston works for Minute Maid. Most of the groves are gone and have been replaced by houses and shopping centers. Weston took time to point the limited groves out to Laurel. We enjoyed the lookout from all sides. The view was amazing!!!
