Yesterday it was gorgeous here in Kansas!! It was about 85 degrees, sunny with a nice breeze! Storms were breaking out north and east of here but it managed to miss us. I am so glad because I got wonderful day home with my two favorite people. We started out the day by sleeping in. Well, I didn't sleep in. It's not something I can do very well anymore. I have this internal clock that will not relax..ugh! Lauren and Kevin both slept in until about 10:30am! Lauren had woke up around 8am, had a bottle and was back down with her daddy at 9am. It was nice to have time to get a few things done and just sit and relax. I will admit that I did take a 20 minute power nap in there somewhere too!! We all got up and went grocery shopping. Lauren was so good. She sat in the cart like a big girl for over an hour without any fussing or complaints! While we were at the store, a lady stopped next to us and asked Kevin how old Lauren was and we answered 7 months. She then said "SHE'S HUGE!!"... I was kind of taken back. I would never just say that to a stranger in the grocery store. She's tall and yes, probably bigger than most kids her age but HUGE?..
Here is huge for ya' lady!!I don't think this is HUGE..she's just adorable to me!!
Maybe I'm over reacting a bit...just maybe!
Anyway...we proceded to grocery shop, she continued to show off to all the bratty kids at how awesome she was, and the total on the bill was pleasantly a lot lower than I was expecting. Gotta love the Army Commissary!! We spend about 30% less than we would at any other grocery store and no tax!! ...so overall great morning!
We got home, put groceries away while Lauren napped. Kevin made a quick trip to Target for diapers/wipes/sunscreen etc. When we got home, Lauren and I were in our suits and ready to go outside! It was absolutely beautiful out. We had purchased a little pool for around $10 the night before. We had filled it up earlier that day hoping the sun would warm up the water but it was still too chilly. After daddy dumped a few buckets of warm water in, we were good to go. She just loves the water! Here is a cute video of our munchkin swimming around!
After about 20-30 munutes we came back inside because her cheeks and shoulders were starting to get pink. She was getting a little hungry and sleepy too! She came in and slept for a good hour, we had supper, went back outside to play with bubbles and then to bed! It was a great day! Lauren has been sleeping for 9 hours so far and I don't hear any moving around in her room..I think we wore her out!

People were (and are) always commenting on how huge my kids are too :) It's just in our genes. Cara has pretty much always been in the top percentile for height and weight. Alex too....plus, Alex has a gigantic head. 98th percentile.
I love that my kids are big, though. I think it means they are healthy!!
I think it means they are healthy too! I think what irked me was how she said it!! I could have said "your kid's ashrimp and can't talk because he's 2 and has his paci in his mouth!" ..but I didn't! LOL!!
Haha I would have felt the same way!
Sounds like she is such a great baby! I hope I'm that fortunate :)
