Happy Easter!

(We didn't really get any good shots together...but here are the ones you really care about!)

Boiler Up!

Yummy!

Well, we've decided to start Braden on oatmeal. We give it to him at dinner time and he has been sleeping better during the night ever since! I'm so thankful for that!

4 months old

Yes he is now 4 months old and he has learned several new things!



He has now learned how to do the bouncy-slide! I couldn't capture the whole process - for Braden's safety! So, needless to say we don't use the bouncy much!



So, on with the Bumbo and the Exersaucer! Since spending time in these, he is quickly learning cause and effect!





Will this thing always stare at me?

Daddy's Carbon

Well, majority of the votes (66% of those who voted) support what Mommy thinks....Braden looks like Daddy! For those of you who need more evidence...(Can you find Daddy? Guess the dated outfit gives it away!)

Artist Aly

Aly's new hobby is drawing. She currently enjoys drawing "people", especially our family. She will draw on her magnadoodle or any paper she can get her hands on for hours! She makes long and short legs, and people of all shapes and sizes.

Winter Blues...

Well, we're finally getting over nasty colds! We had the snotty noses and slight coughs the last few weeks. Aly and Braden checked out fine, but we did treatments on Braden for a few days to make sure it didn't settle in his chest. Unfortunately, we've owned the machine for almost 2 years and have used it a lot! I on the other hand ended up with a sinus infection that also blessed me with an ear infection. I tested negative for step but they said by the looks of my throat I probably had reminisce of it. ...because of course I waited over a week to get myself in! It took the bad ear ache to finally get me to go!!! Now we are all healthy and can't wait for this spring weather! Aly of course is already counting down the days until her birthday (April 19th)!

Look at me!

Braden has now learned to hold his rattle. He is still learning what it does and how to make it work, however he gets excited when it makes noise!

The Children's Museum

We and half of Indianapolis went to the Children's Museum to see Curious George exhibit on President's Day, because the museum was open for free. We got up and went early, so it really wasn't too bad until closer to the time that we left. (FYI - We were kinda disappointed in the Curious George exhibit compared to some that we've had....for those of you who haven't been and plan on going.)

This is closer than I could get them! Aly knew he wasn't real, but still didn't want close!



Braden hung out and watched everything!

Then we went to the robot exhibit, which Aly somewhat enjoyed. It was a great exhibit for older kids!

Watch out! She's going to have a lead foot!

Believe it or not, Aly spent a lot of time in this Healthy Living House. She pretended to fix a meal and eat it....of course with her favorite things - corn and grapes! I even got video of this because she pretended to pick off the grapes, pick up the silverware (which was a flat picture), butter her corn, etc. - it was a hoot!

Lastly to Aly's favorite area, where we spend the most time. I'm not sure what we are going to do when they redo this part of the Science Works. Aly enjoys shoveling "rocks" into a wheelbarrow, pushing them to the dump area and then using the bulldozer to move them around. She shared really well and worked with other kids to get the job done!

Thanks to Grammy for going with! I'm not ready to do any big adventures with two yet!

Go Purdue!
