April 2015

April was such a crazy busy month! Mommy and Daddy closed on the new house on April 3!!! We moved on April 4th! Brody you were such a big helper. You loved helping carry things and move them. You worked so hard and for a long time! You didnt take a nap and did great!


April 4 - after moving all day, we went to Pastor Mal's birthday party. We did an Easter Egg hunt and had fun with friends from church. You loved finding the eggs on the trail Brody. Payton, all you wanted was one egg to chew on.


Sunday was Easter. Brody, the Easter bunny brought you Big Hero 6 movie!!! You are so obsessed with that right now! And of course some M&M's. Payton you got your first baby doll with a bottle and sippy cup and some yogurt puffs!


It took a little adjusting to our new house. Brody you did not quite get why we werent at the old house any more. The new room scared you a little at night by yourself. But you adjusted fairly quickly! A lot of April was spent unpacking in the evenings and getting things together!!!


Our days were pretty normal during the month. We had a lot to do at home but not many events going on. We had Amazing Race on April 24 and Lauren came and watched you all. You both did great as always! We also had the spaghetti auction for IHI. Brody, you literally danced in the middle of the gym for an hour. You thought it was a big chapel service!


Brody - you are doing well in school and learning so much. You really love to spell right now. You want us to spell everything for you! You are sleeping pretty well in your room but having a few issues. You love playing in your new big back yard, riding your electric car, playing with the bubble machine, playing hide and seek, doing your letters with play dough, writing your numbers on my phone, and playing with payton!


Payton - you took your first steps this month!!!! You took them on April 12, 2015 at life group. You took about 3-4 steps several times. We were so excited! You also started eating a few solids this month. You are obsessed with strawberries. You eat them all the time and love them! You hardly use your paci and you are sleeping much better! We did the Sleep Sense program and it worked for you! You sleep through the night (no more 2 feedings) and put yourself to sleep! Way to go sis! You love playing with your brother and "little people" toys. You also got another ear infection and double pink eye!!!
