Apologies for the poor quality video. I'm new at this. 

P's Dance Camp

Since you missed Miss Paeyton's camp dance recital, I thought I'd share her performance... Please remember this was a four day camp...and yesterday was a holiday...and choreography is hard, darn it.

Family Camping Trip to Cunningham Falls

This weekend Isabella took her first camping trip.  As with most things, she handled the experience well.  Lucky for us, she didn't like crawling in gravel so it was easy to keep an eye on her. 

Benjamin enjoyed rock climbing and Paeyton found a gaggle of kids to play with almost instantly.  Much thanks to our friends for coming along.  It was a fun and relaxing weekend.

                                                   Isabella wonders which way is up...

No one told him it might be chilly this weekend.

Meet the newest member of the family...

(Baby included for scale)

This weekend we traded in the 5 person Jeep for the 8 person Pilot. We gave it a decent test drive to our camp site in Maryland so now it smells like a campfire.

little Isa body-rocking!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Guess how much candy he has had at this point?!

The lady in the bunny ears is with us...

Nine Months Old! Isabella is sitting up on her own and trying out food that does not come from a jar!

Miss P's Makeover

Defeated in the battle of the hairbrush, Paeyton surrendered to the hair salon for this cute new hair cut.  She also started wearing glasses to correct the sight in her left eye.  It appears she's been faking eye exams for years!

So what about the other two kids?!  Both were thrilled to get wheels for Christmas as you can see in the photos below.

 

Benjamin also got a wagon for his birthday so we are a fully mobile household. 

We just put Isabella in the wagon and go!

The past three months have been a blur...Here's the Isabella growth update. As you can see she has been busy growing.

 At  six months, she hadn't figured out how to grip things without coaching.

At seven months, she is a master at grabbing things. Lucky for us, she hasn't bothered to figure out crawling or rolling.

At eight months, she is sitting by herself and no longer an infant in my eyes.

Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Isabella@5 months!

Current Nicknames: Is-a-baby, Is-a-bubba

Isabella@four months: She is growing and trying to talk! Her lungs are definitely stronger and she enjoys voicing her opinion on many issues.

 

Thanks for the outfit Big Marcia!
