This week Laurel learned to tie her shoes. No, really...look at the picture. You can't refute evidence like that. This has been an easy week. And while there have been no huge jumps in development, you can tell she's getting stronger and smarter everyday. It's the little things. I was thinking this week about when she couldn't sit up by herself. We would sit her up and she would just slump forward. Now, not only can she sit up, she's sure of herself doing it. She's got the feel for her range of motion, and feels comfortable moving into different positions. She's a natural yogi I think.

Tomorrow is her daddy's birthday. We have big plans for him...but we can't tell you what they are just in case daddy reads the blog tonight. But in the next post we'll put a picture of the days events and tell everyone how it went. In the meantime, it's bed time for babies.
