C is for the Cape!

Just when I realized Nana Mary had left, there she was again! This time we were the ones doing the visiting in lovely Cape Charles. Life's a little different down there in the Cape. Let me share a couple examples. No strollers. What's up with that? Hey, not that I'm complaining but when you're used to a stroller every day of your life it's quite a change. So I'm thinking I prefer my stroller over the car. Wasn't so much of a fan. Another difference - quiet. Now that's something that I enjoyed, however, I found it a little tough when it came time to sleep. Oh and let's not forget the animals. Nana Mary has animals in her house. I didn't see much of these kitties everyone spoke of but I sure had some one-on-one time with Abby.


We went to a parade! Now that looked like fun. You get to walk or drive or roll or run or tumble down the street and everyone smiles and waves at you. Nobody asked me if I wanted to be in the parade. I could have crawled. At least that way the parade would have lasted A LOT longer!


We celebrated two birthdays while we were down there but only once did I see cake. The one party that included cake was for Aunt Linda. I hope you had a great 40th birthday. What? No! 60? Are you sure? I would have never guessed. Okay well happy 60th birthday. I hope I look that good. The other party was a little confusing because we weren't actually celebrating someone's birthday. I got a flag out of the whole deal.


I liked my trip down to the Cape. The beach, the backyard, the pool, the family. I hope to return soon. Missing Nana Mary here in LAUREN'S WORLD!

V is for Visit!

We had a visit the other day from Nana Mary. Her visits are a special time for us because she usually has something fun for Landen to play with which keeps him entertained so she can focus a lot of her attention on me. Or, when we go to places like Chuck E. Cheese she can just wear me and that way I'm always right there in front of her.


But like I said, these are times for us to get close to each other and play. I certainly wish Nana Mary could visit more often.


Never enough Nana Mary moments in LAUREN'S WORLD!

Happiness Is . . .

Happiness is finding the perfect toy. See you might think I need a pretty dolly or some colorful building blocks. Nope, just a good thick string to take the edge off my darn teeth.


Happiness is outdoor naked time. Haven't tried it? Oh now this one you've gotta try.


Happiness is dinner time. Okay, okay, I know this isn't always the most happy time around here but hear me out. Every once in a long while a meal comes along that simply covers you with feelings of happiness. Or maybe just covers you.


Happiness is my daddy. He has nice teeth.


Happiness is my mommy. She has nice hair.


Happiness is LAUREN'S WORLD!
