April Turned 3!

She had a wonderful birthday weekend - if her face in these pictures doesn't prove it already :)


Blowing out the candles on her cake on the 25th:





The 26th was her "Party Day".  We had some fruit supplied by a certain Aunt and Uncle:



More cake!


Opening presents.  I was sitting beside April and her reaction to each gift was great.  She'd quietly whisper "wow" or "like Chloe's" ...Everything was loved immediately. 







This picture shows Chloe's reaction to most of the gifts.  Up, out of her seat, checking out the gift.  In this picture, she's "taking care of" April's new babydoll while seeing the new Strawberry Shortcake house.



The rest of the day was spent outside enjoying the sunshine.  Of course, the new barbies came along!


Mawna made her a violet-chain bracelet...


Before dinner we took our kite to the local football field....this girl did about 4 laps, 2 of them skipping, while wearing sandals.  Nothing like being three!

We enjoyed having Pop and Mimi, Kevin's parents, brother, and sister-in-law stay with us for the birthday weekend.  She's been playing non-stop with all her new things! Three is a fun year - Let's see how much she'll grow and change!

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...

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 ...
