April Hope at 5 months

On Sunday April turned 5 months old! She is growing and growing. She learned how to roll from her back to her belly two weeks ago and it still surprises me to find her in a different position than when I left her!

Also on Sunday, April tried cereal for the first time. Her face shows how she felt about it:

The second time (on Monday) went a lot better! She actually consumed some that time :)

She is 'growling' a lot these days - and doing her normal 'talking' too. Aunt Laura got her to laugh, but normally we get a lot of squeals from her - and smiles aren't hard to come by either!

She eats 6 times a day, waking up at 8 in the morning and going to sleep for the night (except one feeding) at 8:30. She's a happy baby most of the time!

We love April Hope! Next month she'll go to the doctors and we'll see how much bigger she is!

Time flies when you're having fun. And April seems to be getting older so fast!
Love to her and her family,

I love the expression on April's face as she is trying her cereal for the first time. I saved it as my desktop picture because it expresses so well how my day can be sometimes! : )

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
