Finger Foods

We recently introduced Lauren to finger foods, as she has moved up at daycare to the "Crawlers" room (she's not crawling yet, but she likes to watch everyone else do it), and they have finger foods there. We started with bananas, which she's getting better at, but they're slimy and hard to pick up. The easiest for her to pick up is Cheerios, which she loves to get into her mouth, but as you'll see from the video, she isn't a huge fan once they're there. She does occasionally swallow them. She doesn't have any teeth yet, so she just kind of gums them down. She's a pro.

Lauren Claps Her Hands!

Lauren learned how to clap a week or two ago, and now she does it all the time. In fact, she claps when I leave after I drop her off at daycare in the mornings. I'm trying not to take it personally.

Lauren Tries to Swallow a Binky

I've been bad about posting lately. Forgive me. Lauren learned how to clap last night, and I've already taken video, so be on the watch. In the meantime, Sean had Lauren one day last week when daycare was closed and sent me this picture. He was giving her a bath and couldn't find her binky, and then realized that she had almost the entire thing in her mouth. She's full of new surprises every day.
