April Hope is 6 months

Halfway to her first birthday, April weighs in at 13 pounds 8 ounces and is 25.5 inches long.

This little girl is working on sitting up by herself and still really enjoys tummy time. In the last month, she's switched to sleeping on her belly. We put her to sleep on her back, but every time she wakes up, she's on her belly!

She likes her swing and really enjoys bath time - just kicks and kicks when she's in the water.

She eats rice cereal at breakfast and at dinner time, and will start baby food this month. She naps pretty well through out the day and even when we have to skip a rest time, she's usually a very pleasant baby! She might be our 'daredevil' girl because she likes to be (gently) tossed and bounced around :) April's favorite song is still Row Row Row Your Boat, although she seems to enjoy Chloe's singing too :)

She is so joyful and we pray that she learns that true Joy comes from God! We love you April Hope!

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
