The weather has been so nice here - not too hot, not too cold - so we've been taking advantage and spending as much time as we can outside. Like snacks in the park with our camera shy guy! Ha!
Even Ashley enjoys catching some rays in the park while breathing some fresh air! She's recently found her toes and isn't afraid of eating them. Future gymnast on our hands!
Ashley LOVES her Little Giraffe blankie. If she's a bit fussy just give her 'pink cow' and she settles down and falls asleep. This was her napping in her swing. Of course 'pink cow' is always close by!
Trevor is enjoying Ashley's toys these days. He calls her Bumbo her 'little potty' and really enjoys sitting in it. We find it rather interesting that when we tried putting him in one when he was about her age his chunky legs wouldn't fit in the holes comfortably. Now? No problem!
Other fun Trevor things this week:
- He declared he doesn't like Daddy's favorite skinny pancakes. Daddy made them and after one bite Trevor said 'I don't like these. Please make real pancakes Daddy!'
- Trevor has said for a while now that he has a baby boy in his tummy. He says his back hurts because of baby boy. His knees hurt because of baby boy. He says baby boy is coming out on Tuesday or Wednesday. We'll see :)
- Trevor had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Hillins and boy did he have a fun, fun time! He didn't even want to come home. He called to ask if he could stay longer than we talked about. Of course! We're so glad they get special time together!
Ashley still really enjoys her 'kick and play' and is very proud that she now grabs onto the toys and swings them around.
She also talks back to the baby in the mirror and just has a great time!
We're also getting to the point where napping in the swing needs to stop (sad). Ashley now rubs her eyes when she is tired (so cute) so we know when it is time for nap. Mean Mommy made her take her morning nap in her crib once and she did pretty good. Woke up after 45 minutes put Mommy rocked her back to sleep and she slept another hour and a half. We might be onto something here. First we should probably transition her to not being swaddled. Since she started rolling over this isn't recommended.
Since the blog is finally updated Mommy and Ashley have been having a few more outings on the days Trevor is in school. On Monday we met our friend Kim for lunch. Kim says that it looks like Ashley has flying arms the way that she holds them back when someone picks her up! And Kim says Ashley looks just like Mommy :)
Who knows. We just think she's pretty cute! Oh and she's started doing this screeching sound so Mommy calls her a little pterodactyl. Funny thing is once she called her pterodactyl, we remember Trevor going through this exact same phase!
Diva has also made it clear that she hates her car seat or just driving in the car. When she's had enough in the car she screams and screams. Unless Dada starts singing. She'll stop screaming mid-scream. For Daddy. Not Mommy. And she likes 'Wheels on the Bus' over and over and over.....
Trevor was on Spring Break this week from preschool so on Thursday we met our friends Katie, Madison and Kennedy for a project at Make Meaning. Trevor really got into making his Easter eggs.
Good thing Maddie (in the pigtails here) is a good sharer because Trevor took all the pom-poms to use on his eggs.
After the craft project we went to a nearby splashpad and Trevor and Maddie had a blast running around!
