butterflies

Lauren had a fun little party - pillowcase race, bubbles, pinatas - I think the kids had a great time! I made her a butterfly cake and Aileen helped me decorate it - thanks Aileen! Here's a pic of it.

We also did bubbles at night and the flash reflected off the bubbles, so it looks pretty cool! The pillowcase race was fun and there is a video of Lauren blowing out her candles (a bit prematurely).

She's a growin!

Yeah! We had Lauren's 18-month check-up today and she's growing! She shot up in heighth to 32 inches - over the 50th percentile! For her weight she gained a couple of pounds and is finally in the 20-pound club at 20 lbs. 4 oz. That is the 5th percentile. She was struggling to stay in the 3rd before, so the doctor was very happy. And we were informed we can turn her around in the carseat now. Um, okay. Cough.
