It's been a while since our last post. Kerri would say it is because we are living in a constant mild state of chaos. There always seems to be something going on. At first I thought that maybe there would be some synergies with two kids. An actuarial colleague had informed me that this wasn't necessarily true. I'm starting to understand why. If child #2 is being fed, it might mean that child #1 is going to make a mess or have a slight accident. We do however try and mitigate these events with the big purple monster, Barney. Lauren may be slightly addicted to him and might have the occasional Barney marathon while we are in the car on the way to Brainerd. 
Lauren is loving summer. One of her favorite activities is to play in her pool and swim in the lake at Grandpa and Grandma Albrecht's. One of Lauren's new words which could be taken out of context in the wrong situation is beach, pronounced by her, Beechee.
She also enjoys watering everything with the hose, including herself.
In addition to watering flowers Lauren also likes to smell them, and pick them occasionally. She wasn't too fond of this one though.

I feel like Taylor is growing up fast. She already sleeps through the night. (knock on wood). For the last two weeks she has been sleeping almost 12 hours at night. The trade off however is that she graces us with her very much awake state for most of the day and avoids taking naps for longer than 20 minutes.
Lauren ensures that Taylor has enough toys while she sleeps.

She has successfully mastered rolling from her stomach to her back, but is still working on going from her back to her stomach. She has also learned how to move around her crib. She goes to sleep with her head facing one direction, and it's anyone's guess in the morning in which direction she will be facing.
This past week Kerri returned to work. She had a long 4 day stretch, something she doesn 't usually have to do. Keep in mind she plays mom all morning and then goes to work until 11:30pm.
This weekend Grandma, Grandpa, Charlie, and the two dogs will be coming to visit. Partly to watch me do the Lifetime Triathlon, but more so to visit Lauren an Taylor and celebrate Grandmas Birthday.
