April Hope is 11 months!

Only one more month until she's 1! April has been on the move this month ~ starting with some pulling up ... and then standing up with letting go ... and walking is probably sooner than I'd like! :)

She continues to be a very easy-going little girl ... She still enjoys looking through the bookshelf, and now likes crawling all over to get to the toy she wants. She has been able to get outside a lot this past month too and seems to enjoy the fresh air, but maybe not the grass! She usually holds one leg up in the air if she's on the grass -- trying to get out!

April has started eating table food this month. She loves bananas and most fruit, but hasn't really refused to eat anything!

Miss April has a stubborn streak and will let Mom or Dad know when something isn't going her way. She can be very loud when she's 'talking' too - waving her arms around while 'shouting' something :) Maybe she's just trying to be heard over big sister!!

We love you April! Can't believe we'll celebrate one whole year next month! :)

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! :)

Baby Pool

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
