It is hard to believe that Lauren will be 7 weeks old this week! She is growing and changing so fast. We love her so much and hope that you enjoy a few pictures.
Hannah and I were reading a story in her bed. Lauren fell asleep during the story and I thought it was too cute! She loves laying in Hannah's bed. I usually put her there while I change Hannah's diaper.
I got a smile!
Last week I had a lactation consultant come out to the house to watch me nurse and she seemed to think that Lauren might be tongue tied. It simply means that her tongue has restricted movement from a small flap of tissue under her tongue. It can cause her not to latch on well and me alot of pain while nursing. We went to see an Ear/Nose/Throat doctoe today to have it looked at. They did a simple procedure that clips the tissue and allows her tongue to have a full range of motion. She was a real trooper and seems to be doing well. They like to do it when they are really little so that there is less pain and memory of the procedure! While we were there they weighed her and she weighed in at 9 lbs and 3 oz. (minus the 3 oz. bottle she just drank) that is 9 lbs! She is growing so fast!
Bath time!
On Saturday night Aunt B kept Lauren while Dustin and I went to the rodeo with Hannah and the RoughRiders. We had a great time. She loved watching the horses and cows. I am still not sure why people like to be bucked around on a horse only to be thrown to the ground. Oh well!
Hanging out with "Haroline" also known as Caroline.
Whiplash- the monkey that rides on a dog. Interesting, huh?
Happy one month birthday sweet girl! I can't even believe that it has already been that long! We love you and couldn't imagine our lives without you!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Hannah, Emma, and Bailey

to be a one year old! Tomorrow I will be TWO! That's right folks...Hannah is turning two!
before I get to our silly little girl, I thought I would share my newest creations. This is a onsie/skirt that I made for Lauren. I am planning on putting an "L" on the front on the shirt.
These are the coordinating dresses that I made for the girls. I figured we could use Lauren's dress for the baby dolls when she is done with it. I haven't actually tried it on her yet.
Dustin asked Hannah to help him match some socks last night and this is what happened.
Needless to say she did not do much matching. She loves to try things on!
One Christmas sock and one Valentine's sock! What a pair!

Lauren will be two weeks old tomorrow. It is hard to believe that she has been a part of our family for that long already. Overall it has been a pretty easy transition going from a family of three to four. We feel very blessed to have to beautiful girls. Lauren went back to the doctor yesterday for a weight check and they did her two week checkup a little early. Here are her stats:
Weight: 7lbs 6.5 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 20 1/2 in ( 62nd percentile)
Head: 14 in (44th percentile)
She is not back to her birth weight yet, but she is gaining weight so we are going in again next week for one more check. So far she is a good sleeper and a great eater. We had a little trouble with nursing at first, but I think we have it all worked out now. She loves being swaddled and sleeping in the swing.

This was my first attempt at making a dress for Hannah. I think it turned out really cute. Please excuse her crazy hair, and yes I know she is standing on the table.
Ta da!!
