Lauren and Miley

Ok.....we aren't moving...but our Blog is!! We have encountered too many technical errors on this blog and are unable to utilize several functions so we have opted to continue our Blog with a different address....Please see us at www.laurenandmileym.blogspot.com
Thanks so much! We will leave this site untouched for anyone who may want to visit it on occasion....New site to be updated soon!....trust me, if we weren't sleeping right now...Mommy would be taking pictures!

YIPPEE! I am getting to be a big girl! Today I had cereal for the first time! My sister was making sure Daddy did it right while Mommy took pictures! It was OK really......however.....

I would rather eat my FEET! They are delicious and convenient....always there when I want them and don't need help to get them! Well...unless I have socks on....then I need my sister to pull them off like she always does!! Thanks Lauren! I knew you were looking out for me!

I love it when Daddy reads to me! He lets the kitty cat in the room! Mommy says no pets in the nursery!! But as you can see, Todd loves to be read to also! And I really love Todd....I try to give him kisses all the time but Mommy thinks it is icky!

Daddy and I have a tradition...we always go on a toy hunt when he comes home because I like to throw toys and books behind my crib! It became tradition while Mommy was pregnant with Miley because she couldn't lay on her tummy to get under here! Mommy says "Why ruin a good thing?" Besides I look forward to doing fun things with Daddy...and to me, this is one of them! Together we like to be "explorers"....Daddy always tells me that he comes from a "long line of explorers". Hey...me too Daddy! Yeah...My Itsy Bitsy Spider book! I love this one!

Mommy is packing away our winter clothes and getting out spring stuff! YIPPEE! She is also getting out summer stuff for our trip to Palm Springs! While she was working...I took care of Miley! I am becoming a really good sister! I even like to help Mommy burp Miley! I think it is fun!! Mommy questioned that I was just using the opportunity to give my sister a good beating on the back....but I was actually very gentle with her! I am becoming very loving towards Miley! I think she realizes that I am the cool one so I love that! She smiles and laughs at me all then time!

Mommy is so greatful that we are so close in age! She gets a big kick out of watching us develop into little people and become "friends" too! Certainly we will always be close! Stay posted....haha!

This is ridiculous....dressing your baby up like a ladybug! I am not sure what I did to deserve this! Mommy kept laughing while she was taking pictures of me...as you can tell, I fail to see the humor in it!

I am doing really good with my potty training! I am using my chair everyday and faithfully at night! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me and we do "dances" when I go! I am still saying "Potty" or "dipe" and then get so excited because I know I am about to do something pretty cool! Mommy, Grandma, Miley and I were at Target on Friday night, and I said "Potty".....Mommy let me down though....she did not have the Potty chair with us! What is a girl to do? We will keep you posted on my progress and certainly there will be pictures when I get to wear my first pair of big girl pants! Yet another thing I will thank my Mom for when I grow up! I think she means well....

Ahhh.....Mommy...what are we doing here? OHHH!!!! I get it! Whee!!! This is fun!

Miley if you hold on real tight....Mommy will push you really high! It's so much fun! Daddy even pushes higher! I wish he were here too! Daddy did call while we were at the park and when I heard the phone ring, I said "Hello...Dada" Mommy let me talk to him but I usually just say "Hi"

We did not stay for too long because it was still pretty cold out! Only 48 when we left! BRRR!!! Hurry up spring! We are so anxious to come back!

Tonight we walked over to visit some friends! Madeline has the beautiful curls and her brother Oliver is the one on the end with the huge smile! Brandon is their cousin and he is visiting from Pennsylvania. Mommy was best friends with Brandon's Mom in pre-school! Our families have been friends forever! Grandma even works with their Grandpa! We had a nice visit but a short one because it was getting late and Lauren did not have a nap all day.....it was about to get ugly! Oh yes....the cute little dog is Riley! He looked great in every picture!

I was so excited when I spotted this playground while we were on our walk today! I kept saying "UP ...UP" until they smarted up and let me out of my stroller to show them what I was pointing at! We were glad that it was spring break and all of the kids were out of school so we could "borrow" their playground! I was having fun doing the stairs by myself.

They even have a bridge that was pretty exciting!

I had fun on the slide going up instead of down.....I like a challenge!

I don't think I am supposed to play with the wood chips, but I tried anyway!

My parents made me go down the slide all by myself!!! Just kidding! I just hung out here getting a feel for things! Pretty soon I am going to love the slide too! I just hung out here while Mommy took pictures of me!

Too bad she cannot figure out how to turn these pictures! Dah Mommy!!!

Wheee!!! I beat you Daddy! Let's do that again!

Seriously Daddy, what is taking you so long?? I am already heading back to do it again!

I decided to pout a little when they told me it was time to get going! Phooey!!

I cried so hard when they tried to put me back in our stroller that Daddy decided to let me walk with him! heehee!!!! I am trying to learn how to hold on to hands when I walk but I really am not a big fan of it! I am an independent little gal!

Grandpa could not resist my sweet little "begging" when I wanted to go outside and swing! I love to swing but it is soo cold out! Mommy and Grandpa bundled me all up so I could head outside anyway. When Grandpa's hands got too cold, he tried to take me out of the swing and I let him know real quick like that I was NOT done yet!.....dress appropriately Grandpa....no whimps allowed! We later headed inside where Grandpa went "shopping"....look what he found in the "cute aisle"....ME!!

Hey....I am the only one in the "cute aisle"....get her out of here! .....(that's ok Lauren...I would rather snuggle with Grandma anyway!)

Yummy! If I keep chewing on everything, certainly something good will come of it! Like maybe a tooth!!!! But until then, I am just going to keep chewing and smiling and chewing and smiling......

Grandma...You have all of the great ideas! This bag full of balls is so much fun for a girl like me!

I hid a few in your refrigerator....did you find them?? I am practicing for Easter!!

This is so exciting! Even when it is cold outside, I can still have fun indoors! There's nothing like a bowl from Grandma's cupboards and some balls from her bag of "tricks"! Thanks Grandma!
