Lauren Go Braugh!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Lauren's big laughs

Lauren has the best laugh- she does full on belly laughs and giggles. Most nights when I come home from work, she has her best laughs. We have tried to catch it on video, but mostly missed it. Here is some video of the tail-end of one of her giggle-fits. She is so awesome...

Lauren talking

Lauren is chatty- shocker, right?! She just jabbers and jabbers and makes these funny little sounds all day long. And she smiles and laughs- it is so fun. A lot of family and friends have heard this, because she chats with me while I am on the phone. We decided to make a movie and share it, some of Lauren's funny little chatter. She is so precious!

Lauren 3 month photos

Lauren had her 3 month photo shoot today. She is such a good little model- she just smiles and laughs, the photographers love to take her picture. They turned out adorable- no surprise since she is the prettiest girl in the world.

Box wine

So, there seems to be this new thing about box wine. The whole time I was pregnant I was hearing about the changes in box wine and how good it is now. That they are making higher quality wines in boxes, because the packaging has been improved and it is a fine way to store good wine. I was excited and anxious to be back in the wine drinking scene to try these out. Well, I really haven't been all that impressed. Shortly after Lauren was born I bought a box of the Black Box brand Chardonnay. I thought it was OK, but not really my thing. It really could have been because it was so soon after the birth- it has taken me some time to get my taste back for things- I still am kinda weird about beer (hard to believe I know...). Recently I tried the Black box brand of pinot grigio, and did not like it that much either. Has anyone else tried the wine in a box? I like the concept, but still need to find a wine that tastes good- please share any recommendations.

Born Free!

Free at last!! Ha ha! Today Lauren had a breakthrough. For whatever reason, today was the day she learned to take a bottle. Her choice? The glass Born Free bottle that I had originally chosen and registered for. Forget all of the platex nursers and specialty bottles I bought because people told me they were good for stubborn nusing babies like Lauren- she was happy with the good old-fashioned glass bottle. Just had to be when she was ready, I guess. Hmmmm- first on my list of things to do with my new freedom?? Snowboarding?? A Massage? A pedicure? Happy hour with the girls?? I think it will be snowboarding this weekend, FINALLY I can get a bit of time on my own and not worry about my perfect little angel starving while I enjoy myself. VICTORY!! FREE AT LAST!

Daddy Time

Some cute pictures of Lauren and Jeff.

Lauren's Valentine outfits!

Both of L's grandmas bought her a Valentine's outfit. It is a lucky thing, too- because we don't have any clothes for the poor baby- she usually runs around naked! Ha Ha! Anyway, lucky girl because she looks great in the color red. She is a bit too small for the bumbo seat- she needs a bit of head support, but seems to like the change of pace.

Lauren loves her Grandma

Here are a few more photos of Lauren's visit with her Grandma last week.
