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! :)

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! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
