First Swim!

We took Lauren to the local rec center this week to test out her new swim suits. She didn't really know what to think of the whole experience. She seemed to like the baby pool which was like bath water, but wasn't as enthusiastic about the big pool. No crying though! Really she just seemed much more interested in watching all the bigger kids playing.

Update on Lauren

Sorry for the long silence, but the laptop has been busy these days helping James get up and running with his new business. Things are clipping right along at the Moss house though. Lauren is growing like a weed and getting more playful everyday. About two weeks ago, we took her for an upper GI xray because of her excessive spitting up. Basically it showed that she has severe reflux. Her doctor decided to put her on some additional meds to hopefully help her keep more of her food down and protect her esophagus from developing ulcers. Luckily, both the new medicines are liquids and she LOVES them! At her 5 month appt she weighed 13lbs 8oz which keeps her at the 25%. As long as she stays steady and doesn't drop, the doctor is happy with her weight. She's doing a much better job taking 2 naps a day (which mom is soooo happy about). Still waking up once a night to eat but goes right back to sleep until about 8am. Her sleep position has officially become on her stomach with her legs squished up and her butt in the air. She still loves to play in her Boppy chair and her Bumbo and continues to find new and exciting things to put in her mouth :) Next step...FOOD!

Lauren's Playtime

Playtime/Dad Time

Here are just a few pics of Lauren on her blanket playing with some of her toys. She really likes anything at this point that she can put in her mouth. Grapply Apple and Links are her favorites! Also, continues to be a big cartoon fan (thanks to Dad).




Watching Tom & Jerry!














"Love my Bumbo!"












Long and skinny, that's our little "Lily Pad".















Playtime...Lauren loves to roll over both ways!

Lauren and Logan

While in Texas, I was lucky enough to meet up with my best friends from college, Kristen and Jocylen, and their children. Logan was born 6 weeks before Lauren and out-weighs her by about 6 lbs! I'm not sure they really knew each other existed, but us mom's sure had fun with them :)

Bunny Song!

This is a short video of Lauren and her dancing Easter bunny. I'm not sure she really knows what to think of him.

Easter

We headed down to Texas for Easter. Lauren was thoroughly spoilt on her first Easter, but we all had a great time.


Lauren in her Easter dress...puke free!!



















Playing with her "bunny fan"...she actually really liked it even though she looks terrified :)













Attacking the Easter basket. Dad helped her with the candy.
