It seems that April only just started....but my calendar is telling me we are ready for the month of May! We have been so busy with new things, new sites, and finally enjoying outdoor weather. We all took turns being sick, GI bugs, rashes, root canals (I'll count this as sick, since it laid me up for 4 whole days), and just the good ole Michigan crud. I'm hoping to open my windows soon and air this place out. There are many things I didn't catch on film....like Lucy riding her bike along side me while I pushed the double stroller (it makes me get a few less sympathetic and/or crazy looks while we are out walking (I had been pushing the double stroller and having TJ in the too small front pack...I'll admit, I must have looked quite funny). The girls making mud pies, Theodore enjoying his swing, playdates, and time with grandparents.
 |
| In April TJ turned 7 months old, and has gotten 2 teeth in the last week (and this is how it has made our otherwise happy boy feel) |
 |
| He graduated to the big boy tub |
 |
| We decorated easter eggs. Kadence loves being in the "titchen" and helping. She is so loving and sweet. She loves to watch out for Theodore and make sure he only has "fafe" (safe) toys |
 |
| Lucy and Theodore were having more fun playing peek a boo, one of his favorite games |
 |
| Lucy got to ride the bus before KINDERGARTEN orientation. She is so old, and cracking jokes to make us laugh |
 |
| He is reaching for EVERYTHING, and this morning has learned how to scoot. He has been rocking on his hands and knees maybe a month, and prior to this gotten everywhere by rolling. He's fast, and I see crawling and climbing right around the corner. He also likes to find wires, outlets, heater grates....those are his favorite toys right now! |
 |
| How handsome! His first easter! |
 |
| Love them so much |
 |
| Easter egg hunting with the Koops cousins...minus the 3 littlest ones |
 |
| We celebrated birthdays. Can't believe Joseph is 2! |
 |
| Finally remembered to get a picture of the 5 of us |
 |
| and the zoo...I forgot to take a picture at the zoo....but since it was Theodore's first time we had to get physical evidence of it, so this is getting all comfy for the car ride home (seriously girls, it's 10 min) |
 |
| pretty much what he thought of the zoo |
