Where do I begin? Laura has grown up so fast this past week! She is learning new words, actions and took her first steps!
New words: Ball, uh-oh, ow, meow, ruff, bye.
New actions: When you ask her what a cat says, her response is...."Meow!" She knows how to give kisses. She pats her doll on the back like she is burping it. She gives "five". When she is petting an animal and I say "Gentle" she actually becomes more gentle! For a few weeks now I have taught her to hand me dirt, clumps of fur or little pieces of whatever off the floor so she doesn't eat them. Now she automatically picks things up and hands them to me without putting them in her mouth first. Who needs a vacuum? (just kidding, I vacuum every other day and shampoo every week because of all the animals we have!)
First time in the pool. She loved it!
First ball. Big deal you think......tell that to her, she loves that ball!
FIRST STEPS!!!!! (at 9.5 Months old. August 5th 2009)

Round 2 of steps!
The whole family was in Minnesota visiting my sisters. While we were there, we took some family pictures that had not been taken in about a million years!
Before going to the airport we stopped by the Mall of America!
This is the best sign EVER!!
Is it not a good thing that I took my neice and baby shark hunting?

Laura and I went to visit my sisters in St. Cloud, MN and Baxter, MN. Our goal for the trip was to get family photos taken for the first time in almost a million years! My parents would meet up in Minnesota the next day. We started out our trip up at my sister Emily's house in Woodinville, WA
Here is Laura and her cousin Andrew playing a chase game at Emily's house.
Here is Laura and I on her first plane ride! She did so well. She slept most of the ride and didn't cry at all! We traveled with Emily and her family from SEA to MSP.
The day after we arrived at my sister Jennifer's house in St. Cloud there was a tornado warning and we had to scoop up all the kids and we went to the lower basement. The scary thing was Jennifer was at work and the only one of us that had been in a tornado warning was Jennifer's daughter Holly, and she is 5.
Here is Laura reading a book while we waited in the tornado shelter for the warning to expire.
Here is Holly and Andrew watching cartoons on the laptop and eating Goldfish crackers in the shelter. Apparently cartoons help calm the nerves durring a tornado warning.
Here is Laura and I with Paul Bunyan, on our way out of town.

Another picture after the tornado warning. We then went to my sister Kathryn's house in Baxter.
Here is a picture of Laura and I at my sister Kathryn and her husband Brett's church on Sunday.
Here is my sister Jennifer and her Son, Thomas and daughter Holland. Izzy is on the top. She is my other sister Kathryn's daughter.
Kathryn's kids Izzy and Ethan standing next to the doughnuts.
This is what the people in this area in Minnesota call a "mountain". This is their down hill ski slope. HA HA HA!
Kathryn and Thomas at the lake. (One of ten thousand)

Today is July 4th 2009. Laura's first Independence Day! We went to my parents house for a BBQ this afternoon. Tonight I am at home with only Laura. (Matt is at the dunes riding his quad) I am making sure that the dogs don't hurt themselves or the house from the firework displays in our neighborhood.
I was afriad that Laura wasn't going to get to see fireworks on her first 4th of July. But thanks to my neighbors that had illegals, we got a front row seat!
This is Laura trying to crawl over Zoe. Does she succeed? Watch and find out!
