A lot of firsts.....

We got out the bumbo seat for Harper to sit in recently. She actually does pretty good in it. But the bumbo seat is blue and so Avery thinks that it should be her seat and that Harper should sit in her pink chair. So, you can't see it but Avery has her little rear squeezed into the baby bumbo seat in this picture!!

Avery and Chloe have started Itty Bitty Soccer. It is pretty cute and they do pretty good for the most part. This week they had their first scrimmage and Avery would not play at all. She told me that there were too many kids playing with only one ball!! Obviously we did not explain the game to her very well!! But it is fun and she will be playing Itty Bitty T-Ball this summer. She is also doing gymnastics right now and is really enjoying that.
Avery flying a kite at the kite festival. It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day! We skipped naps and were there for like 4 hours!

We got out the baby swing! Harper really liked it. Avery liked to push her and the fact that she could swing next to her.
Avery and Mallory being great big sisters!! Baby Henry was born last weekend. Tracey's water broke at Aiden's first birthday party--it was a very exciting day!! We are so happy for them--he is such a cutie!
Harper finally got to sit with us at the table. She had fun being able to see us and not being stuck on the floor. Avery thought it was nice to have an extra tray to set some of her food and drink on! It was nice to eat with all 4 us as a family though!

Hope everyone is doing well!

March and Easter

Sitting in Cinderella's Carriage

Over spring break, Laura, Molly and Jackson came in from Dallas. We had such a great time. The kids all had so much fun playing together. We went to Paradise Park and down to Crown Center. There was a Fairy Tale Exhibit that the kids played at and then we ate at Fritz's. We got to play outside just a little bit because the weather wasn't that great. And after they left we had a huge snowstorm. This is Avery's snowman that she and Erik built. His name is Tony. Avery is on a kick where every doll and stuffed animal that she has is named Tony. Our neighbor's name is Tony and I guess that is where it came from--who knows with her!!

Avery loved coloring her Easter Eggs! I probably should have boiled more eggs but she had a great time! The package that we had included brown dye--who wants to color their eggs brown?? Well, Avery has recently gotten a cd and a set of books of different songs that teach you how to spell all of the color words. Thank you Stacy:) And she LOVES it! We listen to the cd everywhere we go and we read the books every night. She knows a lot of the songs and can spell almost all of the colors! And brown is one of her favorites actually because it talks about a lot of chocolate things. So, she was all about coloring her eggs brown!

Harper has started to smile!! She is doing great! She is 2 months old now and got her first set of shots. Erik took her but said she was a real trooper!

The Easter Bunny brought Avery several things but she was most excited about getting Big Girl Shampoo and Body Wash! She has graduated from Johnson and Johnson! She was so proud!!

Family Easter Picture

Avery and Chloe got aprons and chef hats--they are so cute!!

We went to the park after naps today. It was a little sunny so I found this hat for Harper. I thought it was pretty cute so I had to take a pic!
