These photos were both taken on Friday - this is the first time she's played with toys in the bath, and she loved them - it gave her something else to hit at! For those who weren't sure - Lauren is in the bath with me and not her Daddy - his hands are much bigger than mine!

This week not much has happened - Lauren is definitely a thumb-sucker - she just isn't too fussy about which hand! Her eyes still haven't decided what colour they are going to be - sometimes they are grey and at others they are brown, and sometimes they are a mix of the two at the same time!. Her hair seems to be lightening up to light brown, and is curly when wet, but very straight when dry! She constantly has her hands in her mouth and is dribbling a lot.

We're trying to get her to roll onto her side, but she's not really interested in doing it by herself. She's also not too keen on tummy time, but we're trying to do some time every day. She is giggling a lot and talking a great deal - finding the range in her voice with the odd high squeal. She is starting to watch us eat and copies us - ie moves her hand to her mouth and opens her mouth at the same time we do! She is noticing Kitty more and just stares at her whenever Kitty comes into the room. She is aware of a lot more things and really giggles when she sees herself in the mirror. She is so much fun to be with and I find myself smiling and laughing a lot when I am with her. If she does cry she's quite easy to distract - just getting her to stand up usually does the trick!
