I haven't been as active a blogger lately and Lauren is getting so big. We completely missed 18 months all together picturewise, but sure enjoyed watching her grow even if it was pretty uneventful.
She is talking so much now and actual words. She loves books, outside ("side") and music ("sonns") especially action songs like Popcorn Popping, Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy Spider. She always has to have music on in the car or at home or at Grandpa and Fof's or her DVD of children's songs. She knows many animal sounds, can say her name and many of her favorite foods and is a happy girl. She is so curious and is always asking "What is it?" and "What's that?" We're working on shapes and numbers right now. She's really a great parrot.
She loves playing with her friends Stirling and Monet when Jay's at school. She knows a lot of your names in her family book. She is really good in nursery at church and is learning to share.
She also comes and tells us "poopy" when she's poopy, so I'm looking for advice on if that means it's ready to potty train.
Highlights for Jay is that he started school at Weber State. He is studying engineering. The math is hard to get back into and he could do without his visual arts class (no one likes GEs), but we're so proud of him for doing it. He tries to get in a few shifts a week at the fire station, which will go toward paying for tuition and books each semester and Lauren's care while he's at class. He is a great daddy to Lauren the rest of the days and the two of them have fun while mommy's at work.
For me, I recently had the cool experience of singing in the special choir for the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference. I'm loving my job and am coming up on two years the end of this month at my work. It's busy, but that's the way I like it. I'm also happy to have volleyball started up again.
We love our little family.
