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! : )

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
