Home for a month - where does the time go!!!

We have been home from China for1 month now and have had Lauren for 6 weeks. She is now 9 months old and growing like a weed. We can not believe we travelled all the way around the world, got this beautiful baby and came home all ready, it has been like a dream!


She hs experienced a lot in a month. S.he has met alot of her crazy family. She has enjoyed a week at the shore. She had gone  to the doctors to be prodded and poked. She has spent the day at Aunt Donna Angelone's house (never a picnic). She has gotten bigger, stronger and smarter. It is quite an adjustment getting used to an infant in the house, but we are handling it (I think). She is full of smiles and giggles and makes us smile every day. She has acquired new teeth, new hair and tons of new clothes and toys. She is keeping the cat on her toes, she screeches when seh see her and the cat goes running. She  likes to dance and she sleeps great!!!! She loves her momma and big brother and gives kisses,

Some pictures from her first experiences!!!!!

The real test - will she like the beach?

All was fine when she got to the beach - she loved the water and the sand


All this swimming makes me tired!
