April News...

We are anxiously waiting for the WARM weather April is suppose to bring....let's hope it comes now in May! We would like to start the yard work someday...

We've kept you up to date with Taylor's big news, she has mastered crawling and pulling herself up. So we need to do some major baby proofing around the house. She has no interest in the stairs yet, which is a good thing! She has also accomplished eating crackers but that is it for food other than her baby food. She is not a fan of any "chunky" foods. We have started giving her mashed fruits and veggies, as long as they are not too chunky, she does OK with them. And the BIGGEST accomplishment for her - she's sleeping through the night!! It feels so good to get a full nights sleep again. We decided to do "Baby boot camp" with Taylor one weekend when we had nothing going on. We started Thursday night (thinking we could handle one day of work being tired), as I was feeding her we talked and I told her the plan for the night and the weekend, Let her cry! Letting her cry wasn't an issue and hasn't been for 3 weeks now....oddly she slept through the night that first night, that entire weekend, and every night since then!!! Apparently we should've had this talk months ago!

Other family news.......Chris and Theresa are getting married. They've set a date for Jan. 24, 2009. They will be getting married in Spring Hill. We are so happy for the both of them that they were able to find each other. And Rick and Brooke find out the sex of their baby next week - we are so excited to hear if Drew will have a little brother or sister!

This weekend Taylor is spending the night at Gma and Gpa's house in Paynesville. Gma is so looking forward to having her - I hope her and Gpa are ready to play and walk with Taylor!

A few things we celebrated in April...Kari and Tim's 14th anniversary.
