Our little Laurel is 15 months old. Many people seem to be sad when their babies enter toddlerhood, but I have been enjoying Laurel SO MUCH it is hard to miss her babyhood! We just continue to love and delight in her more and more. The list of wonderful (to us) things she is doing increases by the day! Here is a list of some of her favorite things:
- Her babydoll "nana" (thanks Oldacres)! She loves to carry around her baby, put her in her cardboard bed, feed her bottles and snacks that she is eating, pat her, rock her, etc. It has been so sweet to me to see her little mothering heart towards her baby. It is 100% girl!
-Music continues to be one of Laurel's top loves! She loves to play her little piano or listen to the ipod and dance around the living room. She has begun a little bit of "singing" as well :-) To support her love of the ipod she has figured out a creative, little way of getting to it. She pulls out the small suitcase that sits on top of the larger one under the end table, climbs up and grabs the ipod! Yes, we have a problem solver. She also uses this method to type on the typewriter. Recently climbed completely onto the table and started typing. We have to keep a good watch on this girl!

- Going outside! After getting her first pair of shoes, she would get them from her room and bring them to the front door...her subtle way of telling us "let me out!!!" Now that the weather is FINALLY cooling down a little bit (say 80 degrees) we are able to do more outside which is great. Here she is helping Will "drive" the parked car.
She went to the doctor last week and weighed in at 20 lbs. 4 oz. and she is 31 inches tall. She is only in the 10%, but the doctor says she is growing perfectly and doing great! We are so grateful to God for our little Laurel Anne. I can't imagine a sweeter, funnier, more wonderful daughter.
Kate ADORED the apple cider that we put in her bottle! She chugged it SO fast.
