Kate is growing

April has been a busy month for this girl.  She lost her first tooth.

She learned how to tie her shoes:

She also learned to ride a bike with no training wheels.

Aaron 8 Months

Aaron is 8 months.

He weighs 17 lbs

You have changed so much this month.

You can now:

sit up un-assisted

crawl from room to room

eat food

have 2 teeth

  

 You are always picking stuff off the ground and putting it in your mouth:

 You are so interested in your surroundings.  You always are looking around, not interested in me or the fact that I just want you to look at me for 2 seconds so I can get a good picture.

You don't love being held.  You would prefer to be down on the ground exploring.

Parker's sweet note

 The other day Kate broke a glow stick, and it's contents squirted into my eye.  It hurt so stinkn' bad.  I had to flush my eye out for 15 minutes before I could see again.  Parker wrote me this note:

Miracle of Miracles'

 At 7 1/2 months Aaron will finally eat food.  Up until today he has absolutely refused to eat it.

 On a side note, this kids loves trips to the park,

 especially when his siblings come along:

It's always fun when grandpa comes

WWWhen my parents come to visit my dad always wants a project to work on.  The kids favorite project of his, was the slide attached to our deck:

 

 We also got to enjoy the beach while they were here:

 Just sitting around the house was fun too:

Aaron got to meet my parents

When Aaron was 7 months old he finally got to meet my parents:

Pirate Cruise

 My parent's came for a visit.  While they were here we sailed off on a pirate adventure:

Even Aaron got into the pirate spirit:

 

 

 Their was sword fighting:

 Hula-hooping:

 Anthony won the hula-hoop contest for the men, and I won the contest for the women.  Looks like both Anthony and I have something to add to our resemes'

 Aaron got loved by my mom the whole ride, lucky kid:
