Half Way There! 6 months-Growing So Big.

Happy 6 Months Sissy Baby! 

1. We call you Miss Congeniality. You have a smile all day long.

2. You have started to give us all kinds of adorable expressions.

3. You are sitting in a high chair and have discovered sitting in a well cushioned

grocery cart is much more fun than the baby carrier. 

4. We can see your intentions developing when you throw down your toys from the high chair .

5. Napping is now from 10 to 11:30, 1 to 3 and 5 to 5:30 (although you resist this one the most)

6. You prefer to sleep on your belly. 


7. You can take baths in the bathtub now. Your splashing brings out the cutest giggles.

You are magnetic!


We love you.

**Spring Break**

March 19-March 25,2012


Monday

The first day of Spring Break it rained all day, so what

better way to spend it than playing in it !

Tuesday

Picnic in dad's office at work. 

Getting to ride the green "boom boom" at dad's work

is something that is always exciting!

Wednesday

It rained again...so more playing in the rain!

Thursday

Finally putting Cohen's train set together and

hanging out with the Choo Choo! 

Friday

Zoo Day!

Saturday

 Spending the afternoon at 
our pond looking for tadpoles! Notice our 2 ducks in the background

that have taken up residence! Maybe we'll see babies this Spring?

We collected our tadpoles to watch them grow 

and ended our day with a dunk in the pond! 

Sunday

The tooth fairy is coming tonight!

We were eating ice cream at McDonalds and 

Cayman's tooth fell out.


The beautiful weather, staying up late and sleeping in has spoiled us. Soon we will be starting the 30 day countdown for summer break and saying bye to a most memorable school year! 

Growing So Big-5 months

So much has changed in the last month.

We love all the ways you make us smile! You are growing so big, Clairen!

1. You roll over both ways. 

2. Can sit up only for a few seconds then lean way

 forward or fall to the side.

3. You love to grab your toes and try to eat them!

4. You are attempting to take a couple of small steps 

when I try to help you walk.

 5. You love to hang out and play in the excersaucer.
6. It's great to have you in the high chair at dinner now.
7. It's easy to make you laugh! Making funny faces at you
and playing Peek-A-Boo is your favorite.
8. 15 lbs., 8 oz.
9. You are good at reaching for objects or toys in your sight.
10. We started reading board books before naps and you seem to
enjoy the cuddle time.
11. Your eyes are turning Hazel.

12. Your nap times are changing. I can't help but take
pictures of you sleeping! You are leaning towards taking
 that long 3 1/2 hr
nap during the early afternoon.

13. Did I mention that you are so adaptable and easy going!
You have been a picture of health and have managed to remain completely
healthy since the day you were born despite the fact that our family has passed one sickness to
another the entire fall and winter. Ok, I think January was a good month for us, but
we had an unusual "sickly" winter.  A couple of weeks ago you and Cohen came down
with RSV. YIKES! What a strong little girl you are because you have battled your way
through it...breathing treatments and all!! Thank the Lord that we never ended up in the hospital and
you are on the road to recovery!

What a beautiful day to celebrate 5 months! Nothing like a breath of
fresh air. This beats nebulizing any day!
Clairen, you are our breath of fresh air!

Love,
