The only object that makes Lauren cry if you take it away from her is....her toothbrush! She loves to brush her teeth. We introduced a toothbrush about six weeks ago and help her brush her teeth every night before bath time. Now she likes to hold the toothbrush in her mouth herself, although she will let us help her move it around. When it comes time to put the toothbrush down, she gets very upset. It is so funny! We will remind her of this when she is older and doesn't like to brush her teeth!
Lauren is sitting up a lot more now. We had to lower her crib to the lowest setting because we often find her sitting in the crib and she is now starting to try to pull herself up sometimes.
She has started a weekly play date with Lydia's son John. John and his nanny Sabrina have been coming over once a week to play with Lauren and Barbara downstairs in our building's play room. It is so nice to have the play room as an extra place to go when it seems like she is ready for something different.
Lauren does not like to nap on the days when we are home with her. When Barbara is here, Lauren naps great and stays on her schedule. On the days when I am home with her, and on the weekends, Lauren will not nap on her regular schedule. I know we are doing all the same things that Barbara does because I've watched Barbara. I think Lauren just gets so excited to spend time with us. It can be challenging because she has a happier day when she naps!
Lauren sees our "toys" and wants one for herself. Dan, Barbara and I all have our cell phones with us all the time. I know Lauren notices this and one of her favorite toys is her little plastic phone that came with her activity center. She brings it with her around the house, just like all of us! She also seemed fascinated with my credit cards, so I gave her a Toys R Us rewards card that I never use and that is her own little "credit card." She is pretty attached to it.
Photos below were taken by Barbara today and last Thursday.
