New

What's new with Laralei?

She helped set the table for the first time today. She drank out of a cup (not a sippy cup)

She also helped me make cupcakes for the first time. She tasted the flour, and looked at me funny. After spilling eggs and chocolate all over the chair, her feet, shirt, the floor etc., she finally tasted the batter again just before the cupcakes went into the oven. Her eyes got big and she looked up at me in amazement. She said ummm, as though it were magic that what had once tasted like flour was now chocolate and yummy!

Yesterday Laralei started to say her name for the first time...lalalalalalaralei! She is now saying it on a regular basis.

For about a week now Laralei has been counting to three. Usually daddy would tickle her or act crazy somehow when he would count and finally reach 3, so Lee acts accordingly and tries to make something big happen when she reaches the big THREE!
