In the past month, we've done a bit of traveling. We spent 11 days in Idaho working 2 different shows and hanging out in Lewiston.


Loren has made a number of friends among the other artists, they all seem to look forward to seeing her and make a point of stopping by to say hi and make smiles at her.
She got her first cold just before we left for Lewiston, poor kiddo, and was a snotty mess for about 3 days. Too bad she took all of my immunity and left me with the same cold for 7 days and I still have the stupid cough!
Loren us almost perfected the art of sitting up unassisted. She can hold it pretty much indefinitely but we can't test that because she always seems to see something she needs to reach for off to the side that that just topples the tower. She's getting even better and being able to stand while holding our hands and is working hard to perfect balance in that position. In the past week she has been working on holding herself on her hands and knees in preparation for crawling and she is pretty dang good at rolling herself over when she want to as well.

Last night, Daddy had laid her on the floor at our friends house to change her diaper and as soon as he moved his hand off of her to get the diaper and wipes ready she rolled over and began frantically flailing her arms and legs as though she was going to get away. It was too funny, and now we're pretty sure we're doomed as soon as she perfects the skill.
I recently updated photos on her website (www.jesshogandesigns.com/loren.html) so check them out.
