Oh-Yo

We love Oh-Yo, the frozen yogurt place right around the corner from our house.  Lucy is happy with her bowl as long as it had gummy worms in it. :)

Overtired

Sometimes they just get a little too tired and we all know how that ends up... meltdowns and falling asleep at random places.

Jumping in the rain

Lucy loves her rain boots and goes and grabs them anytime it starts to rain and asks to go outside.  As long as there is no lighting, I think it's so fun to watch her run around and have fun.  This one morning we were still in pajamas but had to go take advantage of a good downpour.  I love how Lucy thought it was so fun to jump around in the rain, and Claire had fun watching her do it all from the inside of our door.

Mother's Day

Sunday, May 11th was Mother's Day and it was great!  I slept in as best as I could seeing as we have early church and then Ryan made me the most amazing homemade crepes ever!  I also had lunch and dinner made for me but I can' remember now what they were.  Ryan also changed all the diapers, cleaned, got me a few presents and made it a great day overall.  Best mother's day I have had so far!!

Claire: 7 months

Claire turned 7 months a few weeks ago on May 3rd.  I will try and remember the things that applied to that month and not since then, which might be hard.  Here are some details!

• Always has her tongue sticking out.
• When on her belly, Claire always kicks her foot against the floor... happy, sad, entertained and distracted, bored, etc., she is kicking that foot. 
• Teething but no teeth to show for it.
• Waking up WAY too early!!  Between 5 and 6 every morning!  
• Had an ear infection yet again, which caused some of that early rising.  
• Still having a bottle every 3 hours, with some baby food in between.
• A serious mover.  Crawling like crazy and goes from room to room discovering everything she shouldn't be getting into. :)  Her knees are constantly red from all the crawling (as seen in above pictures).
• Claire still loves to sleep on her belly but is rolling all over the place.  When we put her to bed, she immediately reaches down to her side and grabs some of her blanket to have right next to her face when she sticks her thumb in her mouth and falls asleep.
• She has developed a little bit of stranger/separation anxiety.

Five years

Five wonderful years of wedded bliss. :)  I'm still so glad I've got this guy by my side.  We celebrated by going out to dinner at a restaurant downtown on the riverfront off the Scioto Mile called Milestone 229.  It was good.  I always love reminiscing about our relationship on our anniversaries- funny dating stories, where we were however many years ago, our wedding day, and everything in between then and now.  It helps put things back into perspective and gives us another fresh start to a new year of working through, and enjoying life, together.

Dryer

One day Lucy ran into the laundry room and was quiet for a few minutes.  This usually means she is trying on different shoes so I didn't think much of it until I heard her mooing like a cow.  This always means she is playing hide and seek and wants you to come find her.  Haha!  I went into the laundry room and found her sitting in the dryer smiling at me.  Silly girl!  As cute as it was, we had a little discussion about how dangerous that could be and thankfully she hasn't done it since.
