Lauren at 15 1/2 months

Some recent milestones:
**Lauren only walks now. Well, except when she's running.
**We were able to get rid of the gate on the steps. It's nice to get to the point of being able to trust all of our children to go up and get back down the steps safely.
**Lauren finally hit 20 pounds. And she's up from the 2nd %ile for weight to the 13th.
**Lots of talking: bye bye, baby, mama, dada, milk, uh oh, cheese, banana, night night, up. Of course, she doesn't say the words exactly like that, but I know what she's saying when she says those words.
**Old enough to be trusted to play outside with her siblings (and without Mommy). This is such a huge help when I'm cooking dinner. I peak at her every moment, but at least I'm not holding her.
**And, she is finally starting to be a bit more social. She will be friendly with people instead of frantically searching for mama. She is still a bully though. No qualms about pushing kids larger than her tiny self if they dare to cross her will.

This girl is all about accessories. I think she and her big sister Annie are going to get along just fine.


Her dress from the day before was still on the floor when I got Lauren dressed one morning. She just added the dress to what she was already wearing.
