Everyone is great. Lauren is awake so much more and is really smiling and cooing. She typically gets up once a night but has those occasional nights when she's up a lot or sleeps 8 hours. With some adjustments to nursing she's now spitting up a lot less and it's great!
Valla is getting pretty excited to start First Grade in a few weeks and is trying to decide which backpack to choose, big decision for a 6 year old. She finished her second horse chapter book and is now asking how much horses cost- uhhhh- too much!
Natalie had a BIG week. After a few days of positive reinforcement aka "Natalie's No Suck Thumb Chart" she has officially stopped sucking her thumb!! We are so proud of her. She also went to the special doll store to adopt a baby as an early birthday present from Nana. She was so proud. Judy's Dolls in Longwood is set up like a real nursery and Judy puts on quite a routine to make the "mommy" feel real.
After many days of trying to catch Lauren cooing and "talking" I finally got a good video! Valla is off to the right. And yes, her diaper is too big- she's between size newborn & 1!
