Lotion
Lotion and chapstick. Lotion and more chapstick. More lotion...etc., etc., etc. Anytime Lauren sees a bottle of lotion she starts to rub her hands together and grunts and points for some. She doesn't care if it is scented, unscented, foot lotion or other, she just wants it. Same goes for chapstick. Rebecca has vanilla flavored, I have Blistex. Granted she would rather have Rebecca's, but she'll take mine in a pinch. Bath & Body Works is a dangerous place to take her.

Just the facts:
Lauren Elizabeth is now 1 yr., 7 mo. and 10 days old. At last count, she was just over 33" and 26 1/2 pds. She is beautiful with brown eyes and brown hair that curls just slightly in the back. Her favorite shows are: #1 Blue's Clues #2 Sesame Street and #3 Dora the Explorer. She loves the cat and the dog and running full speed through the house just missing the door facing of the kitchen as she goes.

So grown up, and yet...
I look up at Lauren and see a kid running through my house, chasing the dog and cat, watching TV, saying, "Mommeee!" and "Dadeee!" over and over. And then...
I look at my sleeping angel or my naked baby running through the house and realize how little she still is.
How can someone be so big and so little all in the same day?
She's growing up too fast.
What a beauty!

Charming
Recently, Lauren has discovered Lucky Charms and LOVES the marshmellows. She picks them all out of her bowl, eats them, and leaves the cereal. Typical.
She also smiles and rubs you if she hurts you either accidentally or on purpose when she's mad. Charming...
Update
Her face heal up fine from falling on Halloween, she's sleeping all through the night, she is running more than walking and still LOVES Blue's Clues.

Trick or Treating fun!!
Fun, yet not. We trick or treated in Princeton last night and Lauren dressed as the World's Cutest Ballerina. She refused to walk through piles of leaves, but wasn't overly shy when "strangers" gave her candy. She seemed to enjoy the walk at night when we usually only walk during the day and it was warm enough, no coat was needed.
Today was a different story. This morning, she dropped a cup on her toe and broke her toe nail and skinned her toe. This afternoon, all was well, until she tripped and fell and caught herself with her face. Her nose, lip and forehead are scraped and she was mad and really hurt. Daddy to the rescue when she fell, and then momma had to Neosporin her face and sing You Are My Sunshine over and over and over. Whatever it takes. Poor little face.

My little ladybug
For Halloween last year, Lauren was a cell phone. Cute! Mother made the costume down to the glow-in-the-dark paint around the numbers and the hat complete with antennae! This year, it's ladybug. Last year, candy meant nothing. This year, candy means everything. She knows what a Snickers is. She sees chocolate at 100 yards and comes a runnin'! Hope she isn't afraid of all of the strangers at the door when we shout trick or treat!
I'll keep you posted!!

More than words
My sweet little girl has started to say, "Good girl". She repeats it. She says it when she does what she is asked. And she is a good girl.
Rolling the ball is also a new past time for us. She sits on the floor and yells until one of us sits with her. Then the ball rolling starts. That is, until the ball rolls down the hallway and then we have to go with her to retrieve it. The hall can be a dark, scary place.
What a good girl!

Now with more head banging
Well, our sickness is over. We are officially eating and drinking again. Wet diapers abound. Good news for all involved I say.
However.
We are starting rapidly to head for the Terrible Two's. Mood swings. Screaming fits. Loving and hugging and hitting and head banging. And all within the span of 5 minutes.
From what I understand, the fun has just begun...
