Lauren Funnies

9/12/2012

- Every time she hears the dryer open Lauren runs in and holds her arms up ready for me to hand her laundry from the washer. I hand her every little piece and she throws it into the dryer making sure nothing is hanging out.

- Lauren sits on the counter while I get ready in the mornings. She picked up the bottle of hairspray and started "spraying" her hair. While fixing dinner she sat on the counter and grabbed the PAM bottle and "sprayed" her hair.

-She does not like doors or drawers left open. If she sees one open she will close it. If there is something poking out of a closed drawer she will try and tuck it back into the drawer.

-When I dust she needs a rag too and follows right behind me and mimics every move I make.

-Lauren loves taking baths. She gave her baby doll a bath in the sink today complete with rubbing her head and cleaning out her ears.

- She likes to take all her stuffed animals and babies and take turns wrapping them up and rocking them. Then she sets them in a row on her bench and gives them all a drink from her sippy cup.

- When she's trying to get my attention and I'm standing at the kitchen counter, she will wiggle in between me and the cupboard, push with all her might against the cupboard and stick out her bum against my legs to push me away from the counter.

- Lauren waves at every car and person that drives or walks in front of our house.

- She knows how to rock out to music BIG TIME. Driving the other day she fell asleep. A while later I looked back at her and she was awake head-banging and wiggling in her car seat to the radio which is a common occurrence.

- Chase gets her out of her crib in the morning and she comes to wake me up. She gives me a kiss and climbs in bed with me and has to be tucked in. That lasts about five seconds and then we go have breakfast.

10/3/2012

-She fell out of her crib last week. Down another wrung the mattress went!

- She's started carrying her baby around even more. I catch her giving her kisses on the head, feeding her crackers, taking turns eating a cookie, wrapping her up and rocking her, walking with her around the house and pointing things out, patting her on the back, putting her in the chair at the table and tucking her into bed.

10/11/12

-Lauren tried going potty today! Wasn't quite sure what to think and was nervous about falling in. But she really liked the flushing part. :)

11/15/12

-Lauren succeeded in dumping 18 eggs into the shopping cart last week without breaking a single one!

- When she's getting dressed she likes to run around naked for a few minutes, throw her diaper away, and then lay down to get dressed.

-She found an old purse and carries it around all day on her shoulder with her baby in the other arm. She waves to me and heads to the door and gets a little upset when I won't let her leave.

-She learned how to climb on her rocking horse and spends hours a day rocking and climbing on and off.

11/18/12

-Lauren spilled some water on the carpet. I told her to go get a towel to clean it up. She walked to the kitchen to grab what I thought was a towel hanging on the oven that wasn't there, and instead grabbed the rug and dragged it over and started trying to furiously mop up the water.

12/10/12

- Like Father-Like Daughter. Lauren can find our phones, open Netflix, find Curious George and turn it on. All by herself. She will pull the laptop up on her lap and pretend to type and turn it off and on. She's more tech literate than I am!

-We didn't realize just how much she understands. Looking at books the other day, I asked her questions and she would point and find things that I had no idea she knew.

- She's started singing Old MacDonald. The only part she knows is eee-i, eee-i!

2/22/13

- Getting ready the other day, Lauren walks in with her hands on her hips and yells "Hey guys!"

- She's into counting, but everything is "two." One, two, two, two, two...

-Walking is not an option...run-hop-skipping is a must!

- Lately she likes us to sing to her before bedtime. Her favorite song is "Do" (Old MacDonald) and gets mad if we try to sing something else.

- She plays possum all the time and closes her eyes when she doesn't want to do something, or in the last few days-pretend to be asleep with fake snoring and all!

3/2/13

-She's quite concerned about everyone's well-being. If you cough or say ouch, she'll come over by you and ask, "ew awight?" (You alright?)

4/22/13

- The other day after being sick I was sitting on the bathroom floor. Lauren came in and asked "ew awight?" then pulled the brush out of the drawer and brushed my hair for me. She did a pretty good job and didn't even pull!

- She got her "big girl bed" a few weeks ago. In the morning she comes in our room and peeks over the edge of the mattress to see if we're awake. The she either wacks us awake with her George or Bear or pounds on the mattress, then grins and says hi mom!
