This is a picture of Laura in our camper

This was Laura's first camping trip! Matt and I went to Florence, OR to ride our quads. Laura had no problem sleeping somewhere other than her crib. She was an exceptional baby. My cousin and her family went also. So Laura had other kids to play with, which she loved!


Laura sure is growing! She is 7.5 months old now. She says mamma and dadda, baby and Hi. She crawls and stands up while holding on to objects. She claps and waves. She loves walking with assistance. Laura is very curious and is getting into everything. She has 2 teeth and more coming.

I have enjoyed watching her grow! She becoming a beautiful, wonderful little girl!

She was kind of crawling before, but mostly it was shuffling and scooting. I figured when she could crawl down the hall, then she is really crawling!

6 months old now, Lauralynn can sit up all by her self. She loves to stand and walk with assistance. She can stand up from a seated position by holding my hands. We had our 6 month well baby check up and she was right on track at 14.5 lbs and 25 inches long.
Lauralynn is almost 6 months old now. Her new accoplishments are solid foods, sitting up and rolling over (Sounds like one of my dogs). She is also sleeping in her own room now, and doesn't seem to know the difference. She loves to suck on both her ring and middle fingers, pull out my earrings, and enjoys taking naps with me. She often reaches for the cats and gets confused when they walk away from her. She is "talking" more and makes mommy giggle with all the new sounds she learns daily.
Because of the back pain I have been experiencing I will start the weaning process soon. I feel torn. On one hand, I love nursing and being able to provide the best nutrition. On the other hand my back will feel better and I will be able to fit back into my shirts. Either way I feel blessed to have a happy, healthy baby girl!




Lauralynn is 4.5 months old now and really starting to show her
personality. Matt and I really enjoy being parents. Laura is learning how to touch her toes and stick her tongue out. She smiles all the time and giggles at her daddy when he is being silly.
