Grandpa kept him entertained for quite awhile. I love this picture. Grandpa was humming some tunes and Connor was just enamored. He thought Grandpa was so cool.

Girls' Night

Christy Ciccotelli, Bradeigh Godfrey, Becky Woods, Liz Pratt, Danica Loveridge, Maggie Minson

Love these girls. So much. We went to Tepanyaki Grill. I'd never been and I really enjoyed it. Ate too much. Mmmm. Sometimes it's nice to get away and take a little break from being a wife and mama.

Easter Sunday

Baby Animal Days

 

Spring Soccer

This was Josh's first season and he sat the sidelines most of the time. His coach was so cute with him, though, and got him to participate a few times. Andrew did really well - he learned some skills and did a good job taking direction from his coach. This was the first season where he got to play goalie. Here are some pictures I took:

Connor @ 7 Months

I know I've mentioned this many times before, but this baby brings us so much happiness! We all love him so much. Here is what Connor is up to at 7 months:

• He loves to make noise, and with our crazy house, this is a must if you want to be heard. He makes the "ba-ba, da-da & ma-ma" sounds and loves it when we repeat them back to him. It seems as if he is so proud of himself that he can talk like us.
• He can roll both ways. He's almost a sitter, but not quite.
  
• He is a go-with-the-flow kinda kid. If we're home all day and he gets his naps, great. If we're out and about all day, great.
  
• He is super ticklish
• His brothers are good at making him laugh.
• When I put him down to sleep, he fusses a bit, but then I'll do something to make him laugh and he gets confused, he'll laugh-cry - I like to torture the poor guy.
• He is the eating machine. It seems as if he's a bottomless pit sometimes.
  
• I love our bedtime routine. I feed and rock him and then I give him about a million kisses on his cheeks and neck. He even tries to give me kisses back - the open-mouthed-slobbery kind.
  

Spring!

We've spent the last two days in the sunshine. I'm starting to think that winter might actually come to an end, I've had my doubts.

We played at both playgrounds yesterday with our friends:



And today, we went to the zoo:

Spring makes me happy.

Baby Henry

At preschool, there is a baby doll, "Baby Emma", that Joshy loves to play with as soon as he enters the room. We saw Baby Henry at Wal Mart this week and knew he needed to come home with us.

Connor @ 6 months

At 6 months Connor is sleeping through the night and he's eating strained foods & cereal (he likes everything but peas & bananas so far). He can roll from his tummy to his back and he can almost sit on his own. At his checkup, his pediatrician gave me a hard time for not giving him enough "tummy time"...Randy and I both conjectured that this man must not have three children of his own. We are trying to hold onto Connor's immobility for as long as possible! I wrote down his weight and height, but now I can't find it. His weight is in the 10th percentile; his height is in the 75th. He's tall and skinny just like Andrew.

Family Dinner

Our favorite time of the day.  (Connor is just up from his nap)
