Oops - late again! This time was due to the fact I didn't take any photos of her last week, and then our internet was down yesterday!

So both these photos were taken yesterday morning - the top shows Lauren thinking what mischief she can get up to, and the bottom one showing her climbing over one of the garden chairs - something new for her to tackle!

Lauren still has a runny nose, but have since discovered that it's not really due to a cold, but her teeth - one of her molars (bottom right) is through and the others are on their way. Dave's worried that she's going to be eating his steak soon! Otherwise she's the same happy, giggly girl.

We took her to the beach again on Sunday - she just runs for the water and loves being in the sea. Dave says that she's trying to push away from him whilst he's holding her, and is just longing to go by herself. She doesn't mind being dunked under the water and just giggles non-stop. Dave only bought her out because her bottom lip was starting to turn blue!

Lauren has developed a lovely habit of shutting her eyes & turning her head when she doesn't want to see you, or be seen! She does it when she's had enough to eat, and if she's somewhere where she's had enough of whatever she's doing! It's really quite cute, and makes me laugh! When we go to playgroup however, she just disappears and it's generally me trying to find her. She loves being around other children, and doesn't seem too bothered if they take toys from her - she just goes to find something else.

Lauren is just starting to lift things - she prefers to carry her toys everywhere, including her bike, and the latest thing is bringing the peg basket inside - consequently nothing is where I think it is, and it can take twice as long to do the simpliest task! However, it's all good fun, and she thinks she is helping me. She's starting to copy things we do, and looks very pleased with herself when she does something correct - ie collect her shoes, or find the ball! She's is still burbling non-stop, but is starting to point to things she wants.
