April Hope is 10 months

On the 25th, April turned 10 months old! Only 2 more months until her first birthday!!


Last week, she learned to crawl and hasn't stayed in the same place since :) Sometimes she gets a little lazy (usually when she's on the wood floor upstairs) and chooses to just slide her knees around instead of picking them up to crawl, but it doesn't slow her down too much! She pulls up on things and likes to "walk" with the help of Mom or Dad!


She has switched over to having formula (except in the morning when she still nurses with me) and has had no problem changing over to bottles - there is no denying that she loves them! We go next week to the doctors for her weight check and I'm sure there will be improvement!! She favors fruits to vegetables and has started eating more solids this month. She likes cheese, grapes, bananas, bread/cheerios...but she'll spit out peas and corn....going to have to work on this!


April continues to be a happy happy baby - bringing others around her joy. She dances to any kind of music or beat by rocking back and forth while sitting. She will play with most anything and is starting to like to look at books (instead of just trying to eat them!)


Strangers in the store will comment on how beautiful April's eyes are ~ still as blue as can be :) Her hair seems to be coming in a little bit too so maybe we'll have enough for a big bow on her birthday ;)

We love you April and are happy to watch you become a little girl! Looking forward to the months ahead! :)

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 ...
