She had her first outdoor swing experiences and enjoyed them.
Unfortunately the little park near our house only has one "baby" swing, so the kids have to take turns, but Lauren firmly believes that a little sharing never hurt anyone.She also got to soak in a little bit of March Madness and the excitement that is preparing for and participating in 4 fantasy baseball drafts with her dad.
She especially loved the practice drafts that didn't mean anything, but that dad did to hone his game. Fantasy drafts can be stressful and preparation is key.She really became fascinated with Will this month. She loves to watch him. And be near him. And especially interact with him. He's more ambivalent, but I've been encouraging him. He now likes to walk to her room in the morning and proudly announce that he's awake. This makes her very excited and she usually kicks and pushes herself into the corner of her bed and that makes her very frustrated.
He also points out everything he see to me and also to her, in case she missed it.
"Look Mommy, a jumbo jet! Look Lauren, a jumbo jet!"
"Mommy, there's a cardinal! Lauren, there's a cardinal!"
"Mommy, Will likes dirt. Lauren, Will likes dirt."
"We don't throw rocks, Mommy. Lauren, we don't throw rocks." (He doesn't practice what he preaches, unfortunately.)
Here he is teaching her about nature, because you are never to young to benefit from a good flashcard.
The crowing achievement of this month has to be the cutting of her first tooth! Hallelujah! It's really changed the entire look of our family. She now proudly sports a one-tooth smile, and the circles under my eyes aren't quite as deep (due to the fact that she is sleeping again).
The ulceration on her hemangioma is almost healed! We are getting close to maintenance mode, which means that all we have to do right now is wash and dress it daily, and that's it! The doctor's say we are close to not even having to do that within a month or so. This is very exciting and will cut her bedtime routine in half! Things to look forward to in the coming months...her seborrheic dermatitis has regressed a bit, mainly in her elbow and knee pits (medical friends, I'm sure there is a better word for those areas) but we're hoping that as she gets more mobile things will improve.

Man, those cheeks are awesome.
I am glad that she is on the mend. What an annoying thing to deal with as a parent.
In response to your comment on my blog, Weston doesn't really like rice cereal as far as we can tell. But we aren't sure how much he is actually swallowing.
Loving her smile in the picture with her papa. Glad to hear she's healing up. I hope things just get better and better.
So glad she's getting better!
