Weekly Update

Whew. It's been a big week!

Baby L is so funny. This week she brought her shoes to me and I asked if she wanted them on. She indicated that she did and so I put them on her and she ran for the door. I think she's getting to be a girl who enjoys being outside, and I don't blame her. It's been warm and sunny around here lately.

She also likes to shut doors lately. The screen door shuts itself, but she's happy to help.





It seems like we're getting out more and more lately. Sometimes we just need our time out of the house.

Sweet baby L has been getting gradually more picky lately, but it seems to be sporadic. Somedays she hates peas, somedays she loves them. In fact, at times in the same meal she hates and then loves them. I just keep trying to fix good meals for her and hoping she'll eat them.

Last week I made stroganoff. She loved it. We stripped her down so she was eating in only a bib and her diaper, which was cute, but she was covered in stroganoff by the end of the meal. It was so cute I had to snap a couple of photos.



It's hard to see in that photo, but she that stroganoff is everywhere!

Saturday we attended a birthday party for L's friend I.



There was yummy food:



And fun games:











Dancing:





...and of course, cake:



I love going to any event like this. It absolutely wears L out completely. She sleeps great. We left the party so that L could go to bed and Brad geared up for the Oklahoma State game on tv. I said that if OSU won L would wear her gear to church on Sunday and this is what happened:



Go Pokes!!

We spent Sunday afternoon hanging out around the house. L desperately needed a day of rest and so did her parents. She woke up Sunday morning with tooth #9, on the upper right side. I was so surprised that she got that tooth, because her bottom gums are so swollen and I can see the teeth just almost through, but the top one came first. She's working on another three (the other side on top and then the two bottom teeth) so we'll see what happens. I'm ready to have all those teeth in so we can quit worrying about it!

It amazes me at what L can see. She can see the tiniest thing on the floor. She'd spilled a drop of milk on the floor and got down to inspect it.



Then she noticed the camera and decided to let the milk go and explore that instead.





Then Monday we had a playdate at C's house. It was so much fun!







(L is waving to C)







At L's weekly playgroup the kids are all her age, but with this group she's one of the smaller ones. It's so cute to see the big girls take care of her of play with her. They do a great job making sure that she doesn't eat anything she's not supposed to and they are all very patient with her. It's very sweet to watch.





We had a great time.

We'll see you next week! Take care!
