We Love you Grandma!

We had the pleasure of Grandma's company for the past week. It was lots of fun. We did crafts, played outside swinging and in the sand box, oooo and showed off Jeryn's trike-riding skills, went to some playdates, had extra fun baths, made a trip to the Dairy Queen, and of course lots of stories and plenty of hugs and kisses to go around. It was great to have help cleaning the kitchen cupboards out and getting the laundry room organized. What a productive week! Grandma even endured a few new recipes...all which ended up to be quite edible. Thank goodness!! It was a wonderful week. We feel so lucky to have you in our lives!

6 Months!

Mara is a whopping 6 months today! WOW! We are so excited! She is such a fun, sweet, mild tempered baby. She really has quite the "Go with the flow" attitude about her which is so nice when I am carting Jeryn around to different activities all week. Rolling over hasn't been one of her favorite things until this past week. Previously, she would lay on her tummy and cry for me to roll her over. She could do it, but had no desire. This week she has decided she can do it on her own and now spends virtually no time on her tummy...by choice! Her giggles brighten the room and she is forever smiling. No teeth have made their appearance yet, but she is a chewing machine thoroughly enjoying grabbing for and putting toys in her mouth. She loves to sit in her bumbo chair in the kitchen and chew on toys while I make meals. We love you so very much Miss Mara and can't wait to see what the next 6 months has in store for you sweet baby!

Curly Q


A small tuft on the top of her head is growing. Hopefully the rest will grow someday too.
