Don't touch that!

These are pictures of Lorelai exploring the dog's crate.  She loves to touch anything that isn't hers.  She is especially fond of anything belonging to the dog or cat, and she really likes to play with electrical wires.  You can't take your eyes off this one!

This is her response to me saying, "Lorelai! Where do you think you're going? I don't think so!"

Eating like a big girl

Lorelai loves to sit at the table with us when we go out to eat.  She is such a big girl!  She loves tasting new foods, but her absolute favorite is drinking from a straw which you can see in the video below.

MMMMmmm!  So yummy!

A day of fun

First of all, I love these Osh Kosh overalls.  They are the cutest. She was such a happy baby today. 

Lorelai loves to play with Addie.  Right now she is checking out her tail

She likes to sneak up on the dog

Ummm, Lorelai... That nasal aspirator goes in your nose....

She loves her walker.  It plays music when she moves it.

Giggles

It's late and almost time for bed.  Judging by all the giggles, I think Lorelai is getting ready to crash...

Jail time

Thank goodness for play yards.  If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't get anything done around the house.  The great thing about these play yards is that you can make them into a circle or stretch them out to section off a room, etc.  Lorelai, however, sometimes gets frustrated being in her little prison.  Now that she is so mobile, she gets annoyed when she can't go where she wants to go. 

"Mommy, pick me up"

Awkward sleeper

Lorelai has to decided to wean herself off of her pacifier.  This was completely her decision and I had nothing to do with it.  Overnight, she basically decided she wants nothing to do with it.  Now, it's been almost 2 weeks of absolutely no pacifier.  Unfortunately, she doesn't go to sleep as easy anymore.  There's usually a good ten minutes of crying before she closes her eyes and gives in to it.  This has led to some awkward sleep poses.  I've captured a few.

Sleeping with her face smooshed against the bumper

It's absolutely useless to cover her up.  She never stays under the blankets

You are my sunshine

Lorelai loves her toy elephant.  It sings "You Are My Sunshine" and it always makes her smile to hear it.
