Baby Girlfriends

I feel that every girl needs at least a couple of good girlfriends and Loralai has found herself two very sweet and cute ones! lol. Of course it does not matter if her friends are boys or girls it just has seemed up until fairly recently Loralai has had only play-dates with little baby boy friends like Drake (10 months), Ian (14 months), and Ben (10 months). So I thought it would be fitting to make a baby girl friends blog of Loralai's friends Grace (14 months) and Ava (11 months).

Hanging out with Grace and her Mommy Sarah at their house just this past Thursday. The girls just wore each other out and they both crashed after Loralai and I left lol. Oh and I think because Grace is walking, it got Loralai's attention and she took two steps that day...it is not going to be too long I do not think!! Loralai just would not put her arm down when we were taking pictures, and when she finally did Grace squirmed away but they are still so cute anyway!

Just hanging at the mall with Ava and Mommy Jennifer. Jen and I were actually elementary and highschool friends and we lost touch, but Facebook and our pregnancies at the time, and now our little sweeties brought us back in touch! Funny how things happen for a reason :)

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came to visit Loralai for the very first time and left her some easter eggs for her to find! She of course this easter only had a short attention span for finding the eggs but it fun regardless. Grandma also left her a gift and she loved her new The Wiggles video and pj's
well she liked the tags and hanger anyway lol.


Below are some Easter pictures that we took of Loralai on the Friday before, they are simple but fun! And the last two pictures are typical Loralai scrunchie faces!

Walker Walking Fun!

Loralai LOVES her new Fisher Price walker. Sometimes her little feet fall a bit behind but she getting much better, she does nothing but smile and laugh! :) 'Mommy look at me I am such a big girl'!

Mommy I can do it...

...I can feed myself!

Loralai loves to eat anything that she can pick up and eat herself (it is actually the only type of food she eats), so when I gave her some yogurt for lunch she wanted to try and feed herself, so I thought why not, and she did a great job! I had to wipe banana yogurt away from her eye several times, and clean it out of her hair, but who could reset this face?!

Stair Climber!

Loralai learned to climb the stairs today!
*tear* she is getting so big :)

Sorry that the video is sideways..enjoy!

Baptism

Today was Loralai's baptism into the Roman Catholic Church. It was more of an informal ceremony without a mass, but it was so much fun, and the priest Father Tracey was really nice.
We were a bit unconventional with two Godmothers my cousin Carrie, and my friend Mindy, but there was not two better people that will love, and encourage Loralai as she grows.

Loralai wore my baptism dress that is 25 years old, and it was so special to me that she was able to wear my dress!

I ordered this beautiful cake from TripleCCakery. The cake designer is a mom of triplets and she runs her business out of her home. She is so talented and the cake was delicious, it did not last very long at all! I will definitely be ordering more cakes from her in the future.

Mommy and Daddy helping Loralai cut her cake!

The GodMomma's

This was the gift that we gave to Carrie and Mindy as a thank you. I wanted to get them something they could carry along with them. It is hard to see but I had the key chains engraved with "Godmother, 03/22/09"

The apple of Daddy's eye...

"Don't bug me I am working here"! lol

Loralai loves music of any kind, but lately she has been falling asleep to daddy's hip hop, and oh is he so proud! lol. Todd was a part-time DJ for a long time, and since we have had Loralai he has moved from working events to becoming a 90's hip hop (and some other music too) vinyl collector. So Loralai liking hip hop, and when daddy saw her taking an interest in his record collection (although she was closely monitored lol), she definitely became the apple of daddy's eye even more so then before!

Loralai is doing what the vinyl collectors refer to as 'digging' through the records, looking for that perfect selection!

Some Wedding Pictures!

Here are some more pictures of the wedding! Loralai is only in the photo's at the actual ceremony, she unfortunately she was one tired little girl and fell asleep when we went to take the photo's at the water. Loralai was so good at the ceremony, and so far we have many pictures (and when the professional pictures come back even more) that are adorable! Enjoy :)

My little kissie girl! This is my favourite picture of the two of us.


Loralai and Daddy before she got her little dress on! I love this picture. Professional photo.

The next three photo's are professional.

My favourite picture so far of Todd and myself. It is classic and timeless!

Swimming

Loralai LOVES swimming!

Loralai started swimming lessons a while ago, and I am so glad since it gave her just a taste of being in a big pool just before we went to Florida. She spent a long time in the pool kicking and splashing. When we tried to take her out when her fingers where all prunie she got so mad, she started screaming and crying. No wonder she slept so well in Florida, I can not wait for warmer weather here!! We had so much fun.
