April Hope at 5 months


On Sunday April turned 5 months old! She is growing and growing. She learned how to roll from her back to her belly two weeks ago and it still surprises me to find her in a different position than when I left her!

Also on Sunday, April tried cereal for the first time. Her face shows how she felt about it:


The second time (on Monday) went a lot better! She actually consumed some that time :)

She is 'growling' a lot these days - and doing her normal 'talking' too. Aunt Laura got her to laugh, but normally we get a lot of squeals from her - and smiles aren't hard to come by either!

She eats 6 times a day, waking up at 8 in the morning and going to sleep for the night (except one feeding) at 8:30. She's a happy baby most of the time!
We love April Hope! Next month she'll go to the doctors and we'll see how much bigger she is!

Time flies when you're having fun. And April seems to be getting older so fast!
Love to her and her family,

I love the expression on April's face as she is trying her cereal for the first time. I saved it as my desktop picture because it expresses so well how my day can be sometimes! : )

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

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...
