What does the cow say?

Lauren almost knows how to say two animal sounds now - a cow and a chicken. I ask her what the chicken says when she is actually eating chicken (not very P.C. I suppose). I'm not sure she 'gets' it, but she does reply with bok, bok, bok (sp?). She's still working on woof woof, and meow. I thought she'd learn these first - as she loves chasing her cats, and always has her dalmation, named 'Doggie', by her side. PS. If you look closely, you can see her first tooth (on the bottom). Seems like many of the others are about to pop out soon too - maybe they'll all come at once, to get her back on schedule :)

Beach Babe

I'm all set - come on let's go for a swim! Pool season is officially open. And would you believe the pool temp is already up to 86 degrees? Lauren had fun splashing around in the pool this weekened - and even drank some pool water too. We also decided to enroll her in a parent/child swim class at Pecos Park, starting next month. Hopefully she will like it.

Cool Treat

I've seen the ad and recipe for this dessert - Strawberry Whipped Sensation - in more than one magazine, and had been wanting to try it since it looks so pretty :) It uses fresh strawberries, condensed milk, coolwhip, lemon juice, and oreo cookie crumbs (that's my favorite part). It's probably not very good for you, but it tastes yummy, and remakably similar to a strawberry ice cream cake.
