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!

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...
