Present for Loryn

We received a package from my cousin Jo'Anne today. She sent us an update on how she is doing and she sent Loryn a beautiful dress that my Uncle Bobby had bought for my cousin Savannah right before he passed away. I know she will love it when she is old enough to wear it. I really don't get to see this part of my family much at all. They live in Australia and now my cousin and her husband are moving to S. Korea for the next few years. We are still hoping that they will get to visit us at some point.

Loryn went to a baby shower with me this past weekend for my best friend Kelly. Loryn was an absolute angel. She didn't cry at all and just spent the entire time smiling at people. Kelly's mother-in-law took Loryn from me and I really didn't see her much during the 4 hours that I was there. Here is a picture of my other best friend (her husband) getting in some practice. Loryn just felt right at ease with him and slept until I woke her up to go home. If you go to the Baby News blog (Kelly's blog), there is a link for pictures. There are more pictures of Loryn and I on there.





Valentine's Day...Eric and I had a date night planned out for Valentine's day. We were going to go out to dinner and a movie. We made it to the restaurant and put our names on the waiting list, but we never got to sit down to eat. Loryn wasn't liking spending time with her babysitter and we had to come home to calm her down. We walked into the house to see her pouting and staring the babysitter down. She wouldn't even take a bottle from him. So, we resigned to just get something quick. Which was our mistake, because we both got a horrible case of food poisoning and I spent the entire weekend incredibly sick.

Recent Videos of Loryn

Eric took a video of Loryn in her swing and they were having a conversation.

Our next step in feeding Loryn was to try applesauce.

This is a long video. This is pretty much the entire rice cereal feeding (from start to finish)

Here are some great photos of Loryn so far from the last month and a half. I haven't been taking too many pictures of her. But here is a little recap of how she has been doing.

Loryn is trying to roll over from her back to her stomach, and she can get half way and then gives you this look like "Now what am I supposed to do?". It is very cute. She laughs at me. She thinks I am the funniest person ever, and when Eric tries to play with her now, she looks to me for the okay. Loryn absolutely can not sleep without her bunny blanket. It is her favorite toy, no matter what else we give her, she wants the bunny blanket. Everything goes in her mouth, especially her hands and she fake coughs to get attention.

It has been a little chilly down here, it even hit the 30's and poor Loryn just didn't know what to do. She was all layered up. Enjoy this fun picture of her.

Yummy yummy food. We started Loryn with rice cereal on Tuesday February 10th. She is just too funny when she eats and we will post the video later. Please enjoy the photo of her first time eating.

And here is the second night of rice cereal.

Loryn's friend Chase is letting her borrow his bumbo seat. Loryn still hates to sit down, and she has discovered she can wiggle her way out of the chair.
