Thanksgiving at Grandma Lou's

We had a blast at Grandma's over the last 2 weeks! Lorén has grown so much! Lorén has learned to walk. She is very good! She also got four new teeth. She has begun to eat "big girl" food as well. She really likes spaghetti, mac-and-cheese, and Great Grandma Burgess' roast. How amazing.

We had such a blast! Aunt Kelly took us to see her "Pakka's" Frisian horses. Lorén completly amazed! She was giggling up a storm. I think Aunt Kelly was proud. Pakka also gave Lorén a beautiful stool that he hand-made.

Grandma Lou also had a 2nd birthday party for Lorén. It was awesome! She spoiled Lorén like crazy! She bought Lorén a kitchen! Great Grandma and Grandpa Burgess got Lorén a shopping cart and a bunch of food for her new kitchen. She also got an adorable stuffed puppy, a Michigan sweat-outfit from Uncle Josh and Aunt Kelly, and tons of adorable clothes! I'm not sure but I think Miss Michelle got spoiled these past two weeks. I will post pictures of the party and absolutely cute cake Grandma Lou got Lorén when I get them.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was a fantastic dinner. I didn't get to see my Bunny all night. She played with all of her cousins all day long! She didn't get a nap at all. That made for a cranky Boo Bear :). Mike and I got to golf with Bonnie and Bob and about 6 of their friends. It was so much fun. Even though Mike and I lost (embarrassing) and had to play the best couple. . .well then we won (not so embarrassing!). I drove the ball 200 yards on one hole! That's not too shabby!

We also got Lorén's 1 year pictures done. I decided not to do traditional pictures! I am so happy with them! Here are three of our favorites!

All in a Day's work

I got mad at the fact that Mom made me be dressed! I was rocking backwards. ALSO, I climbed on top of the coffee table and took apart the diaper bag! Sheesh, I'm pooped!

WALKING!

My baby girl is walking! Can you believe it?? She will simply let go of things and walk to where she wants to go. She is starting to do more walking than crawling. She is so cute because when she gets to where she's going she has to stop and applaud accomplishment. So sweet!

I walked to Walgreens today because I had to pick up a prescription. While there I remembered that I had an appointment at my house with my Parents As Teachers Guide. It was in 30 minutes. I started to BOOK it home! Somehow I made it home in 35 minutes. As I turned onto my street I saw my PATG driving past me. DANG IT! So I called her and she was able to come back later today. I am so sore now!

Jessie brought Kaylee over to play today. The girls always have a good time interacting together. I saw that L is a bit of a show-off! She had to "one up" Kaylee in whatever she was doing. If Kaylee stood up, Loren had to stand up and take a step. If Kaylee got praised for putting her toy away, Loren had to put two away. In a way it was so sweet!! Loren really looks for approval from people. She has has to sit in adults laps and hug them. She wouldn't leave our PATG or Jessie alone. She had to climb all over them. Good thing Loren is so cute! They loved her attention.
