Double Ear Infection

Poor little Lauren has her first double ear infection. Poor thing!!! She has been so congested for the last couple of days, getting 4 new teeth, barely eating, and just not feeling well so I knew something had to be wrong. Girlfriend had all kinds of issues all at once. But with meds, she is on her way to becoming great again!

New Updates for my little sunshine girl:

• Has taken a step back with eating. She once loved sweet potatoes, squash, apples, and her YoBaby Yogurt. That is not the case anymore. She will eat her yogurt on some days but we're hoping this is due to her ear infection (doc said so because of the pressure from swallowing)
• She's such a trooper being sick. She still smiles a ton and loves being friendly to other folks
• She is starting swim lessons in July - YAY!!
• Got weighed today & was only 14 pounds. Little shrimp
• First day of Mother's Day out at church is tomorrow. She's probably still going considering how darn happy she is and she isn't contagious. She is enrolled on Thursdays 9-12. If her mom can "let go", she'll go 9-2. HA!

I've got sunshine......

I have feeling we will have lots of pool photos this summer. We've discovered that Lauren is our little fishy so out on the deck we went in Lauren's new "pool".

"Swimming" with Mommy and checking out the cool water Mr. Giraffe is spitting out!
She LOVED the sprinkler part of the giraffe. 
My future swimmer!
Chilling out on this hot summer day!

Lauren will start swim lessons in July at the local YMCA. We can't wait!! She just loves the water & loves to kick and splash so we think she will love going to classes!

Show Us Where You live Friday - Laundry Room

I just love doing these home tours!!! Here is our laundry room. One thing I do love about this house is the size of the rooms BUT I'm clueless as to what I should do with the space. I need some of ya'll to come & decorate my house :)

Taking a fun break

Lauren Driving

These pictures were taken Monday night on our drive home to Chattanooga from Atlanta

We made a little stop in Acworth, GA to change Lauren's diaper & to give her a break from the car seat....I think she's happy on her little break
My favorite 3 people, all happy to be making a pit stop!

We're Back...

We are back home safe & sound from our fabulous trip to Hilton Head. We were only there 3 nights but it was fabulous! Todd was gracious & stayed with us on the island his whole 3 days off from work. He even flew back to Chicago via Hilton Head Island airport to Charlotte and finally on to Chicago for work after our days at the beach.

Family photo by the pretty boats. I think Lauren liked them....we need one Daddy :)
What my little girl looked like 90% of the time. She was so happy to be on her first beach trip!
Taking a much need lunch break. The lobster rolls were yummy, small but yummy! Lauren couldn't decide what she wanted so she pondered over the menu!
Swimming once a day in the morning worn this baby girl out.

Daddy & Lauren in the kiddie pool. Daddy was great and gave mommy breaks from the pool. Our little fishy just didn't want out of the water.
