Lolli's looooong nap!

Lolli woke up around 8:15 this morning. She was pretty grumpy by 10ish, so Lauren laid her down for a nap. She slept for *3* hours straight! Whoa! That's definitely a record for her!

Lolli slept in her crib!

For a variety of reasons, Zach and Lauren have decided to try to get Lolli to sleep in her own room. So last night Lauren slept on a futon mattress on Lolli's floor while Lolli snoozed in the crib. She did great! What a big girl!

Bye Bye!

Lolli can wave! Just this week she started waving Bye Bye and now she's waving Hi, too! It's the cutest thing to see. It's awesome that she's starting to associate words with movements. Hopefully soon she'll be picking up some of her baby sign language and be able to communicate her needs to Zach and Lauren.

Vampire Baby!

Lolli was very fussy last night and this morning. She's been really digging the teething rings and ice nets. So Lauren tipped her upside down this morning, which makes Lolli laugh. This gave Lauren a good view of a bran new tooth poking through Lolli's gums, her 3rd tooth so far! It's her left fang tooth - she's going to look like a vampire baby! "I vant to suck your milk!" hahaha

There She Is!

Lolli loves playing peek-a-boo. Until recently, that involved Zach or Lauren putting a blankie on Lolli's head, and her pulling it off. NOW, though, Lolli grabs ahold of the blanket all by herself, raises her arms up so the blanket covers her face, waits a few seconds, and them drops her arms really quickly. It's so much fun for Zach and Lauren because Lolli is actually playing with them now! She's growing up soooo fast, and it's so fun!

Sit down, Stand up!

Lolli discovered a new favorite activity today. She loves to sit in her blue chair, lean forward and grab ahold of her pushtoy hippo, and pull herself to standing. She thinks she is HOT STUFF! It's really cute to watch. She has to be closely attended during this, though, because if the hippo starts to roll forward, Lolli falls on her face, Ha! She's really working those leg muscles!

Mom & Dad's Anniversary

Today is Lauren and Zach's 2nd anniversary. They headed out around 6pm with Lolli. They went to Kohls, where Lolli was very well-behaved and happy. From there they stopped by BW3s where Lolli sat happily in her high chair and munched on celery and mushrooms - yum! After that it was on to The Room Place. Lolli played on the bed with Lauren while Zach bought a new bedroom suite - woohoo! Finally they stopped by Sally's on the way home, but Lolli just stayed in the car.

All in all, Lolli was very well-behaved, and it was a great anniversary gift to Zach and Lauren!
