April Hope is 7 Months

Every time I post about April turning another month older, I can't believe it! Seems like just yesterday that she was a little newborn!

April can now sit up on her own and enjoys playing with a basket of toys. Her favorites right now seem to be any type of ball....and the basket that the toys are in :) It's my favorite stage of parenting -- sitting, but not yet crawling :)

She really seems to enjoy bath time and splashing in the water. April is generally a very happy little girl and only is fussy when it's nap time!

She sleeps from 8pm to 8am (with that 10 o'clock feeding still hanging in there....) and eats breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She has liked all the baby food I've given her, but a little bit of fruit on the bites of veggies helps them go down easier :) She originally would blow raspberries for any type of vegetable, but that seems to have stopped. Her favorite food would probably be pears.

We love you more and more April Hope - can't wait to see what this next month brings!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

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
