Balloon Festival 2012

We met Con and the kids at the balloon festival. Erin, Sam and Giovanni played in the grass beside us and Erin tormented Mia by trying to take her pacifier. I love seeing all of the cousins playing together!

Porch Time

The girls and I were hanging out on the porch and I told them they could paint my toes whatever they wanted. I ended up with neon green toes with blue sparkles on top. Alex entertained herself by try to get the red vines. She was so excited when she finally reached them!

Singing Sister

Alex loves when her sisters sing to her!

6 Month Checkup

Alexandra is doing awesome. She is long and lean weighing 14lbs 12oz and measuring 26in long. She loves solid foods and the doctor said we could give her more water throughout the day to help soften her poop with all the solids she eats. Her favorite foods are grilled zucchini, avocado and applesauce. She's starting to scoot backwards and can rock herself forward if she really tries. She's still quick to smile and is a happy baby most of the time.

Staying Cool

It's been challenging finding indoor activities to keep everyone entertained when it's too hot to be outside. The girls got to pick out some things to paint and had a great time even though they kept asking to go outside!

Summerfest

Another successful Summerfest! Sam did awesome with the dancers and we were so proud of her for leading one of the dances! She said it's her favorite dance and she was happy to have the opportunity to lead. We talked to the instructors at the end of the year picnic and they are going to let Erin try the dance troupe this year even though it's a year early. Erin's really excited and I'm sure she'll do great so next year we'll get to see both of them dance!

The Gymnast

Samantha is now a level 4 gymnast with the North Canton YMCA gymnastics team! She has worked so hard this past year to be ready for try outs and we are so proud of her for making the team! Lots of thanks to all of those helping us to get her to and from practices! We wouldn't be able to do this without you support :)

Ice Breakers

 

  

Our first trip to the lake this year was Memorial Day weekend. The water was surprisingly comfortable thanks to the mild winter and warm spring! The girls had a blast and were excited to be out on the boat again. We stopped by Applebees on the way home for dinner and Alex sat in a high chair for the first time. She was a little wobbly but we used her blanket to help keep her in place.
