Happy Spring!

We enjoyed the first day of spring and hope you did too!

Bows!

As you may know, I have wanted Elizabeth to be able to wear a bow since before she was born. My mother always made sure I had my hair pulled back with a bow, many of which she made. I packed not one, but two, in Elizabeth's hospital bag, in hopes she would be born with enough hair for a bow. She wasn't, but was absolutely beautiful of course, anyway! She has just worn other cute head accessories and hats instead. And I have tried, honestly, every day since she was born to see if one of her tiny bows would stay in her hair. No luck. A few weeks ago, however, my hopes really worked up as we noticed her hair started growing...and growing. A couple of nights ago after her bath I tried, again, and this was the result...

I was thrilled! I tried all of her bows on her that night, and she has worn one every day since!

Harvey

I just wanted to give another round of applause to Jason and the rest of the cast from TCT's latest show, Harvey. They did a great job with it...and I think Wilson the orderly was just fabulous! :)

Spring Break, Family and Choo Choo!

We started off Spring Break week this past Sunday with a visit from Aunt Jane, Uncle Lyle, Aunt Baba and Gravy. Leigh is spending a few days here, too! John had so much fun playing in the yard with Uncle Lyle and Elizabeth gave away plenty of hugs and kisses.


After the babies had their naps that afternoon, we decided to take them to the mall for John to ride the train! He seemed excited but wasn't sure about it once it started moving. He loved it after a few minutes, though! We hope to take him back soon.

Waiting for the train-so excited!


All aboard!


On our way!

Spring Break so far has consisted of lots of cleaning! The house was yesterday, closets today and the yard starting tomorrow for the rest of the week. We hope you have a great Spring Break, too!

Six Months

Elizabeth was six months old this past week...this sweet girl can not be halfway to a year-where does the time go?! She is beginning to sit up for a few seconds, and loves to roll over and over. She has sampled most all fruits and vegetables, but eats very little (especially compared to her brother!) She LOVES to smile and giggles constantly, especially at John. She got her bottom two teeth on Valentine's Day, and seems to be teething more now. She is getting more hair too, but not quite enough yet for a bow. Her favorite toys are a rattle and Sophie, a giraffe which is a teething toy/Godsend. Being read to is one of her favorite past times. She isn't much of a napper during the day, but prefers cat naps. However, she sleeps well at night. We have her six month check up the week after next, so we'll know her stats then. She brings us such joy!
