Super happy

Laura is working on qualifying everything she says: Curious George is super sad, I really don't like this book, It is so soft. She says it with such emotion. I love it.

Laura-bys

I accidentally erased the great 16 minute video that showed Laura "calling" Aunt Kim, Aunt Danielle, Uncle Jeff, and Grandma Ann while she was pushing her stroller around the kitchen. But Jim took these videos that turned out pretty well. She likes to sing "Laura-bys" (her pronunciation) to her new baby brother.

Why we had to fix our siding...

Here's what the siding guys found when the ripped the siding off of the wall. ick.Yes, those are mouse holes.

Dress up!

We can now fashion a back ponytail in her hair, even if it only stays about 5 seconds. She thinks she's pretty cool, though.

A pic from our last day at Cascade Bay Waterpark this summer. She's such a little waterbug!

A friend dropped off a bouncer for the new baby (thanks Sue!) and Laura thought it would be fun to try. She was in there quite a while and has since started putting her stuffed animals and dolls in it. Don't know if the baby will like it, but Laura has enjoyed it!

We read a book about Halloween today, so we ended up pulling down her hand-me-down costumes from Kim's friend Linda (thanks again!). The Tigger suit is just barely too small and the Carebears is too big. The baby was the only one who could fit into the duck suit. Either way, it was good clean fun for about 30 minutes.

Laura and I were looking through our stash winter clothes for her and the baby and came across these footie PJs and an old hat. She was so excited about both, that she didn't seem to mind that they didn't really fit anymore. She wore them all afternoon. At one point, she also had on a newborn pajama sack that was open at the bottom, but I didn't get a picture of that one.

L

no joke, Laura just wrote the letter "L" and then said "I made an L!". I'm such a proud mama.
