Lauryn's Birthday!!

So, this is a couple of weeks late, but here are some pic's from Lauryn's birthday. I think she had a fun day, even though some of my attempts to make it special failed. Unfortunately there was bad weather so my ideas of going to the park and going to the farm at Thanksgiving Point weren't going to work. So I tried to think of some indoor alternatives and came up with the kids play area inside the mall and the pet store, neither of which Lauryn found very entertaining. The play area at the mall isn't much fun for babies and the pet store was stinky and pretty lame. But at least we had some fun just being together. Lauryn did really love all her presents though. It was so fun watching her open them and play with them. We let her have macaroni and cheese for the first time for dinner, which she loved. She ate so much that when cake time came she wasn't interested. I ended up making her a star cake, which kind of turned out, but I guess it didn't matter because all she did was poke it a few times! So now we have a little one year old, I can't believe it!

Getting so grown-up!

It's almost Lauryn's first birthday and I can't believe how much she's changed in the last year! Since she won't keep bows or headbands in her hair, I started giving her pig-tails. Paul thinks she looks like Pikachu, but I think they're cute. She hasn't started walking yet, but she can stand all by herself. And she loves to play with our cell phones, especially when we have them play music for her. She bounces up and down to the beat, it's so funny!

Look-alike meter


Can you believe it? Everyone always tells us that she looks just like Paul, but the look-alike meter doesn't lie my friends!

Buddies


Lauryn's friend Ella came over to play last week and then Lauryn went over to Ella's house. While she was over at Ella's, Paul and I went out on a date. I think we've been on about two actual dates since Lauryn was born, so it was pretty exciting. We went and played tennis and confirmed that we both are really bad at it, but both really enjoy it! We each won a set, but I'm pretty sure Paul was going easy on me.




















It was almost impossible to get a shot where both girls were looking at camera, but these are the best ones. Don't they look so cute in their almost matching outfits!
