Thank You, Easter Bunny

We had a visitor the other day - the Easter Bunny! Funny thing is, I don't really remember anyone coming over, and I should know because I'm pretty much up all through the night. Oh well, I won't question mama and dada. I mean, you can't really make that stuff up. Right? Look at the goodies my brother and I received.


Mama sat down with me to open up all the stuff in my basket. Such a generous bunny!

A Few Of My Favorite Things

I'm starting to like certain things more than others. Eating a banana - like it. Snuggling next to mama - like it. Being outside - like it. Being put down - don't like it. Chewing on mama's iPhone case - like it. Grabbing mama's hair - like it. Standing for too long in the exersaucer - don't like it. Being in water - like it. Riding the swings - like it. So obviously if you put together some of those things I like then you'll have a very happy baby Lauren. For example, here I am being held outside. Now if only mama's hair was within reach.


And here I am outside riding the swings. Apparently it's not acceptable to ride the swings and eat bananas at the same time. Shucks!


Oh and bath time is a big hit around here. Sometimes it's just me, other times it's my brother and me, and maybe one day we'll add the family duck. Oh look! Having a quacktastic bath here in LAUREN'S WORLD!

Whatcha, Whatcha, Whatcha Want?

Hey, nobody said I had to look girlie every day. I mean if Landen gets to dress like dada, I should be able to look like dada does while he's working.


I had my first real playground experience the other day. Normally trips to the playground include my big brother running all around while I sit idle in the stroller touching my toes. Well move over kiddo, you've got company! I took it slow and started with the swings. Mama took it even slower. Maybe next time she'll give me a push.

From Here To There And Back

We boarded another plane last week for Los Angeles to visit my cousins and to my surprise Nana Joan was also visiting. Quite the popular spot I must say. I really had a good time out there but that's pretty much par for the course (not sure what that means but I heard dada say it) since I felt the same way after my last trip. I hung out with all my cousins, went to the parks, and kept my distance from Uncle Robert. He's been sick of late so we made sure to give him his space. The big news of the trip was I had my first sampling of real food. I call it real because it was fed to me from a spoon. I'm sure everyone else would look at it and consider using a straw. What was it? Rice? Whatever it was I ate it and liked it. Thank you, mama. May I have another?


At one point in the trip I think I was tossed in with the laundry. Might be a faster way of bathing me but c'mon. I'll take a bath please.


It was a great trip to see my cousins but let's not forget where I came from. Representing here in LAUREN'S WORLD!

I'm A Nittany Lion

Sometimes mama and dada like to push certain things on me. For the most part I'm okay with it, I mean after all I can't really say no (just yet). They dress me in little outfits that have cute sayings, prop me up in places that you don't normally think to see a wee-one, and sit me down in the bumbo forcing me to watch their activities (showering, cooking, dancing, dozing, and wii fitting). Well now it appears I'll be following in my mama's footsteps. At least I have great ice cream to look forward to. Destined for Happy Valley here in LAUREN'S WORLD!

My Friends

It wasn't long before I realized my little brother was going to be my big friend. It was only recently though that I realized I have many other friends. There's O the dinosaur, Elmo, Snuggle Bear, M-I-C-K-E-Y, Duckey, Snow Bear, Cute and Fuzzy Bunny, Boo the ghost, Chief Bear, Blue, Happy Scrappy Pup, Harry Honu, and Wuff. Happy to be surrounded by characters with such character in LAUREN'S WORLD!

I Could Have Been a Stocking Stuffer

As much as I didn't like the day I was born (I had quite the setup in there), I'm beginning to like things out here more and more every day. We just spent the holiday at Nana Mary's and I had the best time. On Christmas morning mama, dada, my big brother Landen, and I all dressed up in matching pajamas. Even nana joined in on the fun. I'd have to say, out of all of us I certainly looked the cutest! Wishing it were Christmas every day of the year here in LAUREN'S WORLD!
