4 months

josh 

This month Josh has started blowing raspberries. He can roll over both ways, but he doesn't do it much from his tummy to his back (sometimes I wonder if he forgot how & then he'll do it). At the end of the month he started getting his knees up under his whole body, and can scoot himself forward. He is almost always happy. He's still been in pain this month from teething (no teeth yet). But even when he's hurting he'll be smiling. I can be doing something else, and look at this sweet guy and he will be giving me the biggest smiles. Even if I'm scolding Addie I'll look at Josh, and he'll have the biggest grin. It makes me laugh. The doctor found a spot on his pupil. We were very nervous about what it might be. You had a blessing, and we prayed a lot that your eyes would be okay. The pediatric optomologist said he has a birth mark on his eye (it's a brown spot on the clear covering of the pupil- can't see it). We were so relieved with good news. He is such a content & happy baby. The last few days he's been in a bit of pain and just wanted to be loved. Great sleeper!

Trip to the PEdiatric Optomologist

At Josh's 3 month check up the doctor noticed a black dot on his pupil. He referred us to a pediatric optomologist. Josh had his eyes dilated (something I have never even had done). He explained that it is a birthmark, and he is healthy. HOORAY!

Ladybug tea party

Fun day enjoying a tea party! It was great Addie was coerced to eat her sandwich- so she could have the cupcake. She worked so hard eating, and then just wanted to play. She said mom you and dad can share mine.

Resurrection Garden

 She LOVED making this. Took the idea from my friend Erika.

 We talked about what happened to Jesus

She kept asking what happened, and wanted us to tell her again and again. In three days everything will die. Then I'll replenish the garden, and update my post.

April Fools Day

 dinner

Tim & Josh                                  Addie 

 Storey                                        &   Boston

I had a super fun time getting Addie in the spirit of playing jokes, and being silly. However, I wasn't the best at taking pictures. The first thing we did was with nail polish (we dumped a bottle out on wax paper & left it where Tim would find it). He stepped in it, but didn't make a huge commotion about it. I was confused at where the puddle went. He casually asked me hey what is this, and I just started laughing. I went, and got Addie and she said April Fools. The other thing we did was something Addie requested. It seemed a bit  mean, but I figured we'd make sure it was safe. She saw a picture of ideas I'd pinned for April fools day. One idea had a toilet seat covered in tacks. So, we put some pins on the toilet seat. She thought it was so funny. I served them over easy eggs for lunch (yogurt with half a peach in the middle). They thought it was  funny. Actually Tim freaked out, and refused to eat it then Addie did the same (both items she'd typically eat) funny!  She was confused, and mad when her juice wouldn't come out of her straw because it was jello! ha ha! Next we had dinner with our friends the McIntyre's. I made shepards pie (looked like real pie kind of). Emily made cupcakes that looked like dinner by the was they were amazing. It was my favorite April fools day yet.
