The McSpaddens

A LONG photo update! It's been a great Spring. The girls are so much fun and they are really starting to play (and fight) together. Things have been busy but wonderful. We have spent a lot of time outside and we are enjoying time with family and friends. We feel so blessed!

Sweet Lauren. You are now 1. What a precious joy you are to our lives. We love how you just go with the flow, scrunch your nose when you laugh, and want to be a big girl just like your sister. What a wonderful year it's been.
Here are your "stats" at 1:
- 21.6 lbs
- 30 1/2 in. long
- a rather "large" head
- eats all table food... loves carbs, cheese, meat, potatoes, fruit, and sweet potatoes. But that's about it. You eat like your daddy!
- You aren't walking yet, but you are the fastest crawling bug I know! You've stood by yourself a few times, but no interest in slowing down your speed by walking. :)
- You love to pull your bows out of your hair, pull your socks and shoes off, and you hate wearing a bib. Ha!
- You love doing whatever Claire does. You look at her in amazement and you want to play with all of the toys she plays with.
- You are a climber. Climb, climb, climb! I am calling it now... you will be our first one with stitches or a broken bone.
- Your nose scrunches up with he smile.
- I have 3 and 1/2 teeth (2 bottoms, 1 and a  1/2 on top)
- You drink completely from a sippy cup- whole milk, water, and very rarely- juice
- You take 2-3 naps a day (usually 1 short morning nap, one long afternoon nap, and sometimes a tiny evening cat nap)
- You say, "Mama," "Dada," "Pup," "Hi,""Bye" and you have a small wave that you do to say bye bye
- You sleep snuggled with your lamb and you suck your index and middle fingers on your right hand, backwards!
- You are a snuggler (we can and will not complain about this one!)
- You are in 12-18 months clothes (closer to 18 mos!)
- We just absolutely adore you!

We love you, sweet girl! Now, stop growing up so fast, okay?
