3 months home!

Sunday marked 3 months home for Lauren. We can't believe that it has only been 3 months since she's been home.  In many ways it feels like she has been here forever.  Some of her newest development:

• No more screaming or crying at daycare drop-off.  YEA!
• Climbs into her high chair by herself (not always a good thing).  This is another way for her to communicate to us that she is hungry.  Doing much better with feeding herself with a spoon.
• Starting to be picky about what she is wearing and which shoes she wears.  She definitely will let you know if the shoes you picked out is not the one she wants.
• Says "neh"  for no.  Can say "da da" but not always in context.  (No, she is not saying "ma ma")
• Will now sit in a restaurant high chair most of the time.  We are no longer scared to eat out at restaurants.  Although for now we will only go to loud restaurants. 

 We started the day with a visit to the local park.  Lauren is very confident in her climbing and loves the swing.

After the park we went and had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory where Lauren tried her first lemon.  She did keep eating it, but then got mad because the taste was sour.  She was very mad at the lemon.  LOL!

After lunch we headed over to the courtyard.  Lauren loves this courtyard!  She is all into running and climbing.

 

We then headed home and for the first time Lauren slept in her crib.  She was so worn out by all the running she did that she did not protest too much.  For now we will only use the crib for nap time. 

  

Superbowl time means trying chili for the first time and learning the touchdown sign.  

And finally we celebrated with homemade cake pops!

Happy 3 months of forever home baby girl!  We love you to the China moon and back!
