Book worm

Lorelai loves books and we hope it stays that way.  We try to read to her every night.  She especially loves "touch and feel" books.  She is very much into textures right now and likes to touch everything.  She was enjoying this book on her own while mom and dad were getting ready for bed.

Dog and Baby

Lorelai is so interested in the animals.  The dog lets her hang all over her.  The cats, on the other hand, are not as tolerant and don't love it when Lorelai tries to grab their tails.  Lorelai very much enjoys hanging with the dog.  I think she will be an avid animal lover like her parents!

"What? We weren't doing anything?"

Loves her pup

"Daddy, can I have a pony?  Oh wait, I have Addie!"

Crawling???

No, she's not crawling yet.  But Lorelai is sure trying!  She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth and then gets frustrated when she doesn't go anywhere.  She'll be cruising around soon!  I should enjoy these last few days/weeks with an immobile baby.  Pretty soon I won't be able to take my eyes off her for a second!

Little detective

As Lorelai gets older I've noticed how she likes to inspect things now.  She passes toys from hand to hand, feels different textures, etc.  I caught her in her jumparoo trying to get a closer look at the lights and the music.

How does this thing work?

Play time is the most fun time!  Makes for a happy baby!

New outfit

Lorelai is growing so fast!  The fun thing about her growing is getting to dress her in new outfits.  She loved this pink dress, and I couldn't believe it was size 12months! 

Is Lorelai playing peek-a-boo?

Smiley baby

This is not very lady-like, Lorelai!  Put your dress down!  hahaha

The lights are on, and nobody's home

We went for a hike in the morning and the fresh air and hot sun really wore the baby out.  In the car on the ride home she started to get a case of "the giggles".  She was being very silly! This child is in desperate need of a nap.

Little Sox Fan

Thank you, Auntie, for Lorelai's first Red Sox shirt!  She wore it with pride even though we have no TV to watch them play at all...  Hopefully we will be receiving our household goods on August 10th.  It can't come soon enough!  We'll have to take her to a game sometime soon.
