5 Months!

Loren is officially 5 months old today! To celebrate, we got together to play with Addison who also turned 5 months old today! We went to the park and played on a swing for the first time and visited at our house.

Happy Easter!

Loren and I've had a busy day today. We went to church with Grandma Ro, Grandpa "Smitty," and Great Grandma Mary and then met daddy at brunch afterward. She was such a good girl at church, cute and all smiles. At brunch she sat in a highchair and smiled at everyone and talked too. When we got home, Grandma Lena and Great Grandma Margit came over for a short visit too! Now she's in bed taking a nap before we go run an errand in Tacoma. I did get a cute picture of her before she went down for her nap...

She sat up unsupported!

Loren has been trying hard for weeks to sit up unsupported and was able to do it for more than a second or two today. She held herself sitting up for at least 2 minutes straight while at our play group potluck and then again for a brief period of time at Great Grandma Margit's and Grandma Lena's houses.



We played at Ethan's house for a bit this afternoon and met a nice group of mommies and babies. Can't wait to meet with them again soon. Then we visited with GG Margit for a bit before going to Grandma Lena's house for dinner and to meet a cousin visiting from Sweden. She was happy and chatty with everyone most of the day.

Fun in the Sunshine! WooHoo!

We got together with friends Angie and Addison today for a walk in the sunshine on Ruston Way. Addison and Loren share a birthday so they're meeting the same milestones and Angie and I have a lot to talk about. We had a lot of fun and can't wait til we can do it again!

Who's Turn is it Next?

So, we had our tire blow out last weekend on our way home while caravanning with an artist-friend. Then on Thursday while caravanning with a different artist-friend to a different show, his transmission starts spewing fluid everywhere! We should probably post a warning to anyone who wants to caravan with us that we're dangerous! Poor Sylvia! She's doomed!

 

The weekend in Pullman was fun. Loren did well despite the really late night Friday. She passed out in the wrap around 7pm and I took her out around 9pm to feed her and change her into her jammies before we left for the hotel. She didn't even wake up! Not even when I put her into the freezing cold carseat! Poor tired out baby! She also got to snuggle "uncle" Dennis this weekend and made his day I think!
