Lorelai had her appointment on Thursday... she weights 23 pounds and is 30 inches long. She hasn't gained any weight in 3 months, but she's constantly on the go-go-go. She shot up 2 inches, though!

Animal Sounds... Videos!
These didn't turn out to well after I uploaded them, but here are two videos of Lorelai doing her animal noises. Note, for the dog, she does "woof" like a german shepherd; the pig she does her version of a snort; the sheep she says "baa"... except in the first video. She was boycotting the camera then. :)
This was taken about a month ago... I just got it off of mom's camera: lol

Update Update Update
20 days ‘til liftoff and I still have so much to do. It’s hard to do everything with a toddler running around, because she likes to be in the middle of everything, which is great, but it makes packing and organizing hard. Then, at night when she’s down, I don’t have the motivation to do it. Ah, well.
I’ve been selling off stuff in hopes of earning a little bit of extra cash and not having to clog up my parents’ basement with my junk. It’s been going pretty steady so far, but there’s still a lot that needs to go. We’ve decided that we’re just going to buy Lou a new crib once we get down there. It costs about the same to ship her old one, and we’ll have to buy a mattress either way. It’s a bit of a downgrade, but it works, and it’s a convertible that changes into a toddler bed.
I can’t wait to see Mayo’s face when he sees Lorelai again. It’s been so long and he’s been missing her like crazy. When we left, she was barely walking. She said a few words but now she’s a little jabber-jaw. He’s going to be so in love, like me.
Lorelai’s doing marvelously well. Her eczema is still hanging around, but it doesn’t seem to bother her. If I cut her baths even shorter, it might help, but she loves them way too much. She’s also REALLY into her books at the moment, especially the picture books. She likes to do the sound of the animal whenever you say its name. So far she knows cow, horse, pig, dog, cat, snake, and on occasion, duck. I think the snake is her favorite because I hear her hissing all of the time, haha.
Potty training is going okay. We aren’t doing hardcore potty training because she just isn’t there yet. I’m just trying to get her to go poopie on the potty for now, as I’m dead tired of the diapers and trying to scrub crap off of a running toddler’s butt!! Haha. She’s gone 4 times on the potty – 3 times on the big potty and once on her chair. It’s an every-other-day thing so far. I didn’t catch her in time today. Her new favorite word is “poop” though, every time we walk past the bathroom… Oy.
Her next appointment with the pedi is next Thursday. It’ll be her last time with that doctor, which makes me sad. I love Dr. H. She’s amazingly awesome with kids and she respects my concerns and choices as a parent, which some people and doctors have a hard time doing. :)
Now if I can find one like that in Houston, it’ll be a miracle.
Okay, end ramble. I know nobody’s going to get through the whole thing. If you did, kudos, you deserve a cookie!

Orange Fusion
I added a new header image with a photo I took today. I had to add the pattern to the rest of the header because the photo wouldn't fit correctly. Here are a few others with the 'orange' theme. Aside from the watermark, they were barely touched. :)

Faces
She's such a little ham. Don't mind the pea juice (she has a hole in her chin) on her shirt. Le sigh.
This has to be my favorite. I told her to say 'cheese' and she did. This was the resulting face: HAHA!

New Pictures
It's been a while, I know. I wasn't planning on updating this space anymore because, let's face it, nobody looks at it. If you do look at it, you don't comment. :)
However, since I'm going back to Texas next month, I figured I might as well keep it going since Gammie's going to be looking at it daily.
Lore's doing great. She's talking SOOOOO much now. I swear she spits out at least 2 new words a day. It's crazy!
Great news, too! She pooped on the potty today! Her first choice was the floor but I managed to catch her in time. :P
She loves this little car that Gammie & Pop got her for Christmas. She's a little Evil Kenevil (?).. :)
She's the dog food moderator. Junior hates sharing his food, so if only one bowl is full, she'll go over to his bowl and grab handful of food for the other dogs. It's pretty funny. :)
