Almost 1


2007May29_0077

Lauren is so close to walking- maybe she’ll wait and take those first steps on her birthday! Her new favorite thing to do is pull all of the clothes and towels out of her dresser drawers. She’s also getting a little attitude, which the girls at daycare claim is her way of expressing independence. Lauren definitely knows when she’s doing something she shouldn’t by the little smirk on her face when we say “no, no”!

We spent a nice Memorial Day weekend at the lake with the Kecks- the lake was a bit too cold so Nana Jo had a splash table for Lauren on the deck. She loved playing with the boats and squeeze toys and didn’t seem to mind that she was completely soaked! We also had a baby shower for Erin this past weekend… I’m very anxious to know the gender of their baby so I can do some real shopping :)

Some sad news- my Grandma Wanda passed away peacefully yesterday. She was a very special lady and I treasure the wonderful memories I have of her. We’re looking forward to celebrating her life with the Hall family this weekend.

    Steph, That is a beautiful picture of Grandma Wanda with you as a baby…..I know you have many wonderful memories of her that you will cherish.

    La-La is the little explorer — she’s so interested in EVERYTHING. She has such a serious little expression as she stands by the dresser. It won’t be too many years and she’ll want to help you put things INTO the dresser:) Looking forward to celebrating her first birthday and maybe seeing her take a few solo steps. Love you.
