April Hope is 10 months

On the 25th, April turned 10 months old! Only 2 more months until her first birthday!!


Last week, she learned to crawl and hasn't stayed in the same place since :) Sometimes she gets a little lazy (usually when she's on the wood floor upstairs) and chooses to just slide her knees around instead of picking them up to crawl, but it doesn't slow her down too much! She pulls up on things and likes to "walk" with the help of Mom or Dad!


She has switched over to having formula (except in the morning when she still nurses with me) and has had no problem changing over to bottles - there is no denying that she loves them! We go next week to the doctors for her weight check and I'm sure there will be improvement!! She favors fruits to vegetables and has started eating more solids this month. She likes cheese, grapes, bananas, bread/cheerios...but she'll spit out peas and corn....going to have to work on this!


April continues to be a happy happy baby - bringing others around her joy. She dances to any kind of music or beat by rocking back and forth while sitting. She will play with most anything and is starting to like to look at books (instead of just trying to eat them!)


Strangers in the store will comment on how beautiful April's eyes are ~ still as blue as can be :) Her hair seems to be coming in a little bit too so maybe we'll have enough for a big bow on her birthday ;)

We love you April and are happy to watch you become a little girl! Looking forward to the months ahead! :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
