This spring has been horrible on the blogging front. We have so much going on I just don't seem to find time to sit and write it all down! I will strive to be better for all 4 of you that keep up with us this way!! Where to start?
So my last post was during Lily's first drastic sick episode. I will happily report that she is hale and hearty again. It took a solid week and a half but she returned to normal far faster than Eric and I did. It's amazing how quickly those little bodies heal! Eric and I still looked like zombies 3 weeks later! Of course we both caught whatever upper respiratory thing she had going and if she felt like we did I don't blame her for being so cranky! Oh well, I would much rather do the cold and virus gig than a stomach bug!
Lily turned 5 months on May 2nd and it growing and changing so fast! She rolls over both ways and I find her on her tummy in the morning more often than not. She still has just the first two teeth but the two on either side are trying to come in. She loves oatmeal but is not as enthusiastic about rice cereal and she eats cereal for breakfast and dinner. She has started to give us kisses over the past week. She will grab both sides of your face and plant a wet, slobbery baby kiss on whatever part of your face that reaches her mouth when she leans in. She LOVES her exersaucer and is utterly fascinated with her big brother. He gets more smiles and giggles than anyone! She has said dada, mama and bubba at this point. Dada was her first word and she certainly had Eric wrapped around her little finger. She loves to sit in his lap, lean against his chest and gaze up at his face in utter adoration. So cute!! She is just an instant away from sitting by herself. She will sit unaided for a few seconds at a time but gets excited and topples over when she realizes no one is supporting her.
Joshua seems to be changing over night as well. Everyday he's more of a little boy. It's amazing to see the differences in his features in just the past few months. He's also shot up in height again. He was 41" at his 3 year check up and now he's right around 43" If he keeps going like this he will definitely hit the 6'5" they predicted from his 2 year height! He is the tallest kid in his class and he's one of the youngest in it. People are constantly asking me if he starts kindergarten in the fall and are amazed when I explain that he's three and a half! T-ball is almost over and we are all very happy for that fact! I don't think t-ball is Joshua's cup of tea as we spend more time cajoling him onto the field than enjoying the experience. I think our next adventure will be soccer. This kid loves to kick balls around.
Next week I am finally getting my new kitchen counters! When we bought the house we new we eventually wanted to replace the kitchen counters. They have a cheap formica on them and it's buckled at the seams in a couple of places. I have a lot of counter space in my kitchen, which I love, but it makes the cost of replacement shoot right up. I have disliked the look of my kitchen ever since we repainted the house before we moved in. The color palette that I have makes the kitchen counters look really yellow. The previous owners didn't help things out when they decided to paint over several tiles on the backsplash with a gaudy red. Four years later I am finally getting rid of my yellow counters!!! We are putting in granite with a stainless steel undermount sink and a putty colored tile backsplash. I will definitely post before and after pics next weekend!
