March of Dimes

Team Lil Darlin'

The walk this year was a lot of fun.  Addison, Gus, Grandma, Papa, Auntie Jo,  Grammy, Papa Combine, Stephanie, Colton, Trenton, Jaxson, Lori, Callie, Jessica, Brenner, Ryan, and I braved the 47 degree temps, plus wind and walk for Premature babies (Laura, Matt, Carter, and Isla joined us at the end, she was probably the youngest baby there!).  The walk is always bittersweet for me.  I go thinking how blessed we are.  We have an amazing little girl who is spunky, smart, and active and then I think and see some of the things that could have been.  I watch people with shirts that say "A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts" and I tear up.  I could not even imagine.  It makes me realize why I want to continue to do the March of Dimes.  Not only for our little miracle but so others can have little miracles too!  Thank you to all who walked and donated to Team Lil Darlin'

7 months old!

Is this what you wanted me to do?

Cool Paper!

 Favorite things:

• ADDISON!!!!!  He still loves his big sis more than anything.
• FOOD!  My kid loves to eat! 
• His thumb- I have a thumb sucker.  He is pretty picky too, he likes his left thumb over his right
• Hank and Daisy-  smiles all around for them
• blowing raspberries
• bath time
• toys (rings specifically)

Things I am doing:

• sitting up on my own
• rolling over both ways
• saying "ma ma", "da da"
• getting my butt up in the air and pushing myself forward but not crawling yet
• He is loved by all of the child watch people at the Y because he is so smiley and loves everyone who comes to talk to him.
• sleeps from 8:30-6:30 every night

I cannot believe that my baby is 7 months old already.  It is crazy around here right now.  Laura is due May 9th with baby number 2 but I think it is going to be earlier than that.  March of Dimes walk is next weekend.  Ryan and I are going to a Red sox vs. White sox game on Sunday for his big 3-0!  We are also going to Galena next weekend for a weekend away and the kiddos are going to the farm.

Easter weekend!

Busy, Busy, Busy for us. We started our weekend off at 5 AM on Saturday morning with the cops on our doorstep. The door to our van was left open. The paper boy called the police and they came to see if it was broken into or not. It was not so I must have left the door open or something like that! We had lunch with the Easter Bunny on Saturday afternoon and brunch on Sunday morning. Mark and Grete came to visit so it was one crazy but FUN weekend!!!
