Mia is 6 months old!

I can not believe our baby is 6mo old already! This year we will have a 5 yr old, 3 yr old and 1 yr old! So crazy to think of that! Let's see, some of Mia's favorite things right now, she loves to play with her toes and chew on them, she is doing really well at sitting up unassisted and even took a bath sitting in the tub by herself without her bath tub sling! We started foods, she doesn't really have any favorites yet b/c we just started, but she sure does like to chew on french fries when given the chance. Still nursing like a champ, we visit the breastfeeding support group usually every other week and this past Thursday Mia weighed in at 19lbs 7oz! I can't wait to see all her stats at her dr. appt tomorrow. She is full of life, loves to talk, smile and laugh. Suh a cutie all around :)

Coloring Eggs

The friday before Easter we just had to color eggs...none of us eat them, but still fun to do a project together anyway

Easter

We had a lot going on for Easter (per the norm every year). 1st we went to an easter egg hunt put on by the church where Lillian attends preschool. So much fun! We met up with Lillians friend Kiley from school, and her family. The kids had a blast and Lillian even got her first ever face painting done, thanks to Kiley being great support for that :)

The next weekend (easter weekend) we went to a spring fling put on by Keller Williams..that was a blast as well. They had a bounce house, fire truck, balloon animals, face painting..and the kids favorite (besides the bounce house) popcorn! Lillian once again had to get her face painted...and wear it the rest of the day..out to dinner and all!

Then we moved on to easter sunday, Lillian had everyone up super early (per the norm) First they found their baskets, and then went on to hunt eggs!

Lillians: work books, Hello kitty pjs, crafts, wii game
Braydens: work book, matchbox cars, backpack, pjs
Mias: baby spoons,bath toys, teether, book and baby food
Then of course candy for mom and dad was also left :)

After our family time, we got all dressed up and headed to Terre Haute for Easter lunch with Mikes grandmother, great grandmother, mom , sister and her family. We couldn't wait to get there for Gram B's noodles, best part of the day! Nanny had baskets for all the kids containing fun goodies so the kids were excited about that and an easter egg hunt, I think nanny does just about as many eggs as the public park egg hunts, but its all only for 5 kids..they loved it!! There was candy and money in them..Brayden would open them and just want the candy and was throwing the money out! Crazy kid! The kids had a blast with their cousins!

After Terre Haute we came back up to Westfield for Easter/b-day dinner at my dads. Kids got to hunt real eggs this time and we enjoyed dinner and cake for my step sister Sarah's 18th b-day! It was a long day, but honestly, don't think we'd have it any other way. We like to be kept busy, the kids and I get stir crazy being home all the time so holidays are nice, fun and exhausting for all :)
