Over the past week, Laurel's mostly just been her typical self. She's gotten much better feeding herself soup with our Chinese dinner set, though she still pours about half the liquid down her front. After seeing a section of corn on the cob on a wooden skewer for the first time, she asked for one calling it a 'lollipop'. She's getting the hang of going to the couch and sitting/lying on it until she can behave when she throws a tantrum or otherwise doesn't behave well. And she seems to have developed her father's method of separating LEGO bricks by using her mouth.



Since I've been going back and forth with Himself on trimming his beard before we do a family portrait this year, we probably won't have them in time to go out with holiday cards. *shrugs* He'll have to cut it off soon enough anyway. Laurel's getting a haircut later today but I haven't decided between two dresses for her to wear for her portrait yet. I'll post proofs once we've done them.
