April Behavior Report

 

Alex rocked it this month!  Five purple days this month, and four in a row!  So proud of you!  Spring break did this boy good.

Good Morning

How can it not be a good morning, when you have three smiling faces looking right at you?! #blessed

Gone Fishin'

Ada got this little whale in her Easter basket from Nana and Papa.  It is filled with water and the fish inside move around when you push on it.  She loves it!!!  I love how she's always got her mouth open.  It cracks me up because when Adam is concentrating his tongue is always out.  I think she may end up with the same little quirk.

My Cup Runneth Over

 

I came home yesterday after being gone since Thursday night.  I was in Quincy on a Cursillo church retreat that Nana directed.  Though I hated being away from my family (and Ada for the first time), it was nice to focus on my spiritual journey and take a little me time. 

 

Part of the theme for the weekend was 'He is the potter, and we are the clay.'  Nana had tea cups for everyone on the weekend.  I found it fitting that when I came home and didn't feel good the first thing Amelia did was offer me a cup of tea.  God is always present when we choose to look! 

Rooooolllll Over

 

 

Ada hasn't quite mastered rolling from her back to her belly yet.  I enticed her tonight with a light up ball, but she still couldn't quite make the final umph she needed to get the job done.  She sure is trying though.  It won't be much longer.  Regardless her efforts exhausted her and she is down for the count. 

Three in the Tub

Tonight all three kiddos took a bath together.  Ada loves bath time, but getting to do the same thing that her brother and sister do ranks at the top of her list!  She was so excited and full of squeals.  We had a bathtub full of kids and giggles.  It was pretty sweet.

Sippy Cup

Ada got her first try of a sippy cup tonight.  She wasn't super impressed, but did take a few drinks of water from it.  We will keep trying.

Rose Garden

 

After Ada's appointment we had to make a stop at Hobby Lobby.  Amelia loved the giant roses!!  What does one do with a flower this big?!?!

6 Month Stats

 

This morning Miss Ada went in for her 6 months check up.  She was in a great mood until she got her shots!!!  Don't worry a few snuggles from Mom made it all better!!!  Here are her 6 Month Stats:

 

Weight: 17 lbs (65%)

Height: 26 1/4" (62%)

Head Circumference:  43cm (70%) 

My Little Papoose

The only way I could get anything done was to strap Ada into the carrier and haul her around everywhere with me.  She was as happy as could be as long as she was next to me.  She didn't make a sound and eventually fell asleep. 

Cheese!!!

Spring Time Saturday

 

After soccer practice we spent this gorgeous spring afternoon hanging out on the front porch.  We cleaned out the water table and the kids had a blast.  Amelia enjoyed water the flowers, while Alex practiced his golf swing.  Ada and I hung out and enjoyed the breeze.  Daddy is still working away in the backyard.  It's going to look amazing when it's all said and done.

Grass Between My Toes

 

Today Ada experienced sitting in the grass for the first time.  We were at Alex & Amelia's soccer practice.  Ada really seemed to enjoy it!

Fun Friday

 

Tonight I worked in the front yard and Adam finished the shed in the backyard.  At least the kids had fun playing!!!  Friday nights are as wild as they used to be!!!

Biscuit Please

Ada had her first little biscuit tonight.  She wasted no time putting it straight into her mouth and it was gone in no time.  Clearly, she enjoyed it!  Doesn't seem like she should be eating food yet.  Still no signs of any toothers.
