May Wrap Up

Be prepared for quite a few pictures!  But first here is a little list of Amelia milestones

1. 5/23/15 Amelia sat up on her own

2. 5/28/15 started to attempt to crawl forward, dragging her left leg

3. 5/31/15 full forward crawl!  Just a little slower.

Okay here it goes.  May 19th was Sadie's 15th Birthday.  The boys and I made her a cake.  They were little savages when it came to licking the bowl, ha!

They each got to pick out a type of sprinkle to decorate with.

They enjoyed eating the sprinkles just as much as they did decorating.

That evening we went over to G&G Snay's to celebrate.

Macy made cute little cupcakes that looked like the balloons from the movie Up and then had 15 balloons and attached pictures of them on them.

Memorial Day weekend we took the kids bowling.  The highlight of course was the blue ICEE. They had a really good time though and lasted a whole game which is about the best they have ever done.

Amelia enjoying her bath.  She really loves bath time lately but also is starting to try and crawl out of her little tub making bath time a little more challenging.

Here is a little video of Amelia's backward crawl.

Picture of her crawling forward.

We discovered that Amelia really LOVES avocado.

Such a cute little gal

and very messy!

We had a busy morning one day but after dropping Liam off at school we took a little break at the park.

Amelia really enjoys swinging

Happy girl

Colin did lots of climbing and looks way to big in this picture!

Sibling love

Naps have been a struggle lately, especially trying to get all three kids down.  So I have had to separate the boys.  One day while rocking Colin, Amelia started hollering.  I told Colin to lay down on the couch and go to sleep knowing there was no way it was going to happen.  Well, much to my surprise when I came back he was out! It was amazing!

I made the kids a smoothie one day, and Colin really enjoyed his apparently.

Last weekend we went over to my mom's to let the kids play in the backyard.

We bought a Slip N' Slide and everyone enjoyed it

We all had so much fun

Sunbathing

Ha, I think it was a little too bright for both of them!

Now on to JUNE!

End of The Year Program

Liam has conquered another year of preschool!  It's hard to believe that he has one more year and then he's off to kindergarten!  I'm not sure I am ready to only have one more year with my boy before full time school but I guess I really can't stop it, ha!  Anyway, Liam was super excited about his program and talked about it all day.  Here he is waiting patiently for it to start.

Colin did his share of climbing

Amelia with grandma

Finally it was time for his program. 

He sang his little heart out

Tootie tah might be his favorite song.

Then it was time for there certificate of participation.

Showing daddy

He was a happy little dude!

Afterwards it was time for cookies and cupcakes.  Colin was thrilled with this idea and immediately chose a cupcake.  I did too as I was holding Amelia.  She managed to get a little on her hand but I held it away from her mouth.  Then as I wasn't looking she reached over with her other hand got the frosting on the frosted hand and stuck it in her mouth.  I quickly caught her but she definitely got a taste!

Colin and his frosting face.

Liam's frosting face.

Amelia and her shocked look, ha!

It was a wonderful time and I always enjoy seeing how happy my boy is to go up and sing his songs.  He really enjoys his programs.

Now then, I have a little more catching up to do.  Amelia had a bath this week and was SO happy.  I had to get some pictures.

Cute gal

Happy

She really is a sweet little gal

Later that night she fell asleep like this...

Last Saturday we took the kids to the park.

We played outside for a little bit when we got home.  Amelia got to play in the sand.

We set her in her baby pool to try and keep her cushioned and "safe" but she usually ends up like this anymore.

Later that afternoon Liam had his end of t-ball season party.  Chris took the boys and I hung back with Amelia.  They had a good time judging by the pictures.

Colin got to try out a trampoline for the first time.

Liam enjoyed the jumphouse

They had a great time and I know Liam enjoyed his 1st season of t-ball, until next year!

7 Months!

This sweet little gal is 7 months old! I can't believe that my last little baby is already closer to being a year old than a newborn.  It baffles my mind at how fast it has gone.  Amelia is still a calm and happy baby.  She is   27.5 inches long and weighs 17.8 lbs.  She is starting to attempt to move around more.  She has been amazing at sitting up for awhile and will do a little butt scoot to get where she wants to go.  She still refuses to really roll over but on 5-15-15 she did start to army crawl but she only goes backwards, ha!

Amelia is currently wearing 9-12 month outfits, she is doing fairly well with her solid foods.  She usually gets breakfast and dinner but occasionally she just isn't that interested and would much prefer her milk.

This weekend has been rough on our little gal.  She has a little cold and is teething hard core.  She is drooling like crazy but nothing has popped through yet, so for now she just has her bottom two teeth.

I love to put her hair in pigtails.

Amelia loves to be in the same room as her brothers.  She enjoys just watching and listening to them.  If I have her in the living room and I am doing things but her brothers are in the other room.  She will let me know of her frustration of not being in the same room.  She doesn't cry but make a whining sound.  Once she is moved to the other room she is content.  She also gets bored being in one spot for too long.  She might have some of her momma in her, ha!  Amelia is still waking 1-3 times a night but the other night she was up EVERY hour.  It made for a rough day.  I hope it is all because of the teething and will pass soon.  She has become more consistent with naps and takes a morning one and a longer afternoon nap.  The only thing is she is very into only sleeping in her crib lately.  I can never get her to fall asleep on me anymore and she struggles even in the car lately.

One last thing Amelia clapped for the first time on 5/4/15.  We were at bootcamp with the boys and she just started after some of the other adults there were clapping for the kids it was awesome and here is a video.

Naked baby

She still has a full head of hair.  It is getting long enough in the front that it covers her eyes, ha!

Baby plank

She is one smiley gal

Relaxing on the bench

We love her

Angel Baby

She can stand and hold on to things with assistance.  She can hold this position for seconds at a time but eventually will lean one way or the other.

She has made attempts to pull herself up on things but isn't quite there yet.

Precious gal

We love this little lady and can't believe she has been with us for seven whole months!
