Where has March gone?!?!? Time has totally gotten away from me and it's been over a month since I posted anything! April looks like it's going to be even busier so I am going to try to use my time off this week to catch up! We have had all sorts of firsts going on in the Millner household and I hope I can remember all of them over the next several days. This working full time with two kids is crazy busy. I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going most days...UGH!
Anyway, on with the update. I will post pictures later. Joshua has started playing T-ball this month. Eric got roped into being the coach for his team and it is so much fun to watch. Joshua and his cousin, Mason, are the youngest on the team at 3.5 and the oldest will be 5 next month. At this point the goal is to teach them the basics...hit the ball, run the bases in order and try to get the outfield to get the ball to first base and back to home. It's kind of like herding cats on a good day but is so fun to watch and help out. There are usually bats flying, kids running every which way, several going for the ball at once and typically one throwing a fit in the field at some point. Joshua can hit pretty well when he wants to but has come up with a big case of the whiners lately so it's hit or miss. Another big step in getting rid of pull ups at night!!!!! Joshua's been potty trained since shortly before his third birthday but we haven't been able to get rid of the nighttime pull-up until this week. He finally gets it...WooHoo!!
Lily is growing like a little weed and changes so much each day! She had her 4 month check up on Good Friday. She now weighs 14 lbs 6 oz and was 26 inches tall. Her first tooth broke through the gingiva on Easter and she rolled over for the first time tonight! She has also discovered her feet, loves to suck on her big toes and thinks her brother and the dogs are hilarious when chasing bubbles outside. Lily also started rice cereal this weekend and is doing very well with it. The first bite or two ends up with most of it on her chin and I get the funny look but after that she seems to chow right down. She is continuing to do great at daycare. We have had one episode with pink eye already but the rest of us managed to stay goop free!
I am off this week for a late spring break. My office is closed and we have lots of adventures planned over the next few days. Eric was able to take off until Wednesday so we can have sort of a staycation. Today we hit the zoo and checked out the new museum of living art exhibit. It is awesome and a very big hit with a little boy. We had the best weather today! It was overcast and 75 and all the animals were out and animated. It's the best time we've ever had at the zoo. Tomorrow we are off to Glenrose for Fossil Rim and the Dinosaur Valley park. I think we will close things out with the Arboretum and the Aquarium. I plan on posting Easter/spring pics over the next several days so keep checking!
