Gingerbread

Karin and I made gingerbread cookies earlier this week. She is such a big help!

Just woke up.

Homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner. Rachel and Forest were able to be there. They stopped by on their way to Greenville.

12 month checkup

Lauren had her 12 month checkup yesterday. She tops the scales at 22 lbs. 10 oz--jumping from the 50th percentile to the 75 percentile for weight in 3 months! :) She is 29" long and her head measures at 18.25". She did really well with her shots.
