Miller's Baby Shower

We hosted a baby shower for Bethany, Brian and Daley. It was such fun to get to celebrate Miller Lite 2. They are having another girl and it was L's first big party. Of course we told her it was for her and she loved every minute of it and meeting lots of friends.

Getting ready to open all the gifts




Yeah, presents!




After party in the pool!



Daley loved it!

L did too!



It was tough to get Daley out of the pool. I foresee a lot more pool parties in our future :)



It's a foot, it's a what?...it's a foot!

Wondering why I have to take pictures all the time..

Huge discovery over the last several days.. L has found her foot. Her diapers tend to be a tad bit of a hamper in full foot exploration so we have to really allow extra time now in our day on the changing table.

Almost getting that foot in her mouth

Thanks Nana for my onsie. I love it and needed to have a picture in it as it almost does not fit any more :(

My cup

This cup is suppose to be used to rise all the soapy water off of Laurelea during bath time. She had other plans for it today

Playing with Grammy

This is Rocket L's good friend

Laurelea spent her first day with Grammy all alone. I was home the first couple of days as Grammy learned the ropes. Grammy has been able to get L to sleep much better than we have. We might not let her leave :) Here are some shots that Grammy took of their time playing today.



He is very delicious to chew on




All smiles for Grammy

I Love My Grammy

Grammy has come to stay with us for a month and watch Laurelea while Cory and I adjust back into the working world. We so appreciate her support. She has a very special way and bond with L as you can see from the pictures below. Lots more to come as this month progresses...

Talking to Grammy



L has started to pucker her lips

Who's your Mommy???

It looks like L... but it's me

Here is L and me trying to get her in the same pose

Love this picture of her

All smiles

Telling me her daily update

Almost a smile...

Baltimore or Bust

In the hotel room

Laurelea joined me on my first work trip. Thankfully it was just to Baltimore. Cory and Laurelea had fun exploring the city while I worked. She slept in the bathroom in her pac n' play. Without the swing and vacuum it was a rough go. She managed to not take a nap from 8 a.m. until after 5 p.m.

Getting ready for her first actual pool
