Sorry for the lull...
So, next week we have our PreK teacher meeting. How is she old enough for preschool you may ask? Let me tell you: I have no idea. The fact that she starts Kindergarten in under a year blows me away and I all but refuse to believe it. She is very excited for school to start. This year, she will be going 3 days per week. Sigh...How will I ever manage her being gone 5 days a week? I know I will find things to do, but imagining life without her for 6+ hrs. a day seems impossible.
Jack is full on, no holds barred, crawling/pulling up/beginning to cruise and my life is about to increase in speed by, oh, I don't know, 500 TIMES!!! He knows no fear, is not even a bit timid and is very friendly to every person whether they are friendly back or not.
Man, I LOVE THESE KIDS!!!

Tooth count: Jack, 6 in Lauren, 2 out
So, Jack is now crawling, not only army style, but occasionally on his hands and knees as well. He also pulls up, but is not cruising yet (which is fine by me!) but I know that is coming.
I booked our vacation for December. If you know what it is, great. If not, I'm not telling. Yet. Let's just say, Lauren will LOVE it with a very capital LOVE!!!

So, the teeth...
Lauren lost another one, Jack got another one. John and I still have all of ours in case you were wondering. She is looking so grown up. Makes me a little sad.
Jack is trying so hard to crawl. You just pull for him to do it, but that too, will make me a little sad ;).
We had a great vacation. The mountains were still pretty, but we did see bears this time, so I have now done all I intend to do there, so if we don't go back, that's ok. If we do, that's ok too, but I don't need to.

The tooth is out!!!
Last night the tooth fairy came and left a golden coin!! She was very excited. Not that it didn't come with some drama...John pulled it, with Lauren's consent, and after skipping through the house saying, "I am a big girl! I am a big girl!" She rinsed her mouth, then started crying about not wanting to lose a tooth or to be big or to grow up. It was quite sad, actually. She did manage to make a turn around and was then excited about the tooth fairy, after some coaxing with chocolate milk.

Well...
Jack is laughing A LOT, rolling all over the floor, just started rolling a beach ball (well, not so much rolling as letting go and happening to kick it with his feet that seldom stop moving) and he is becoming more fun for Lauren to play with. It makes me smile to see how much fun they are having together.
Lauren has her first loose tooth. It was the first tooth she cut and it is actually loose, not loose in her mind, but really loose!! Very exciting and sad at the same time. My baby is growing up before my eyes! Wah!

The interacting of children
Jack is a great audience. He loves to be entertained by anyone willing to do it, especially Lauren and she is happy to oblige. He likes to be in his swing while John is getting ready for work and doing his hair. Jack watches with so much interest that his mouth sometimes hangs open. It is too cute!! Lauren loves to sing to Jack, play with things that make him laugh, lay on his boppy with him and in general pester (in a good way) him. I am enjoying them so much!

Update:
Jack is sitting up and saying, "ga- ga- ga- " with the emphasis on the "-g" sound. He tells everyone his story. He is also getting very strong. He loves to jump in his jumper and will stay in it up to a half an hour at a time. He likes to sit up, roll over and is a great sleeper. However, there is no mistaking when he has had enough of something, like right now so I need to go.

The baptism of Jack
He was wonderful before church, smiling, happy, talking. Fast forward to 5 minutes before the actual baptism...crying that led to screaming and crying. Oh well. He's a baby and every mother in the congregation understood (so did the dad's I'm sure). After a quick snooze in my lap, he woke up in a great mood and the minister was able to carry him around and introduce him to the congregation and he smiled at all the right people and was quiet and it was perfect.

Beauties
Have you ever seen more beauty in one picture? I have seen lots of pictures over the years thanks to mother's business and I have NEVER seen anything that makes me happier, smile more or feel more like I have a very real purpose.
