April Hope is 6 months

Halfway to her first birthday, April weighs in at 13 pounds 8 ounces and is 25.5 inches long.

This little girl is working on sitting up by herself and still really enjoys tummy time. In the last month, she's switched to sleeping on her belly. We put her to sleep on her back, but every time she wakes up, she's on her belly!

She likes her swing and really enjoys bath time - just kicks and kicks when she's in the water.

She eats rice cereal at breakfast and at dinner time, and will start baby food this month. She naps pretty well through out the day and even when we have to skip a rest time, she's usually a very pleasant baby! She might be our 'daredevil' girl because she likes to be (gently) tossed and bounced around :) April's favorite song is still Row Row Row Your Boat, although she seems to enjoy Chloe's singing too :)

She is so joyful and we pray that she learns that true Joy comes from God! We love you April Hope!

More Bloopers

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. :)

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime. Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven! "the farmer and the chef" :)
