Spring has sprung!

Spring is definitely one of my favorite seasons. The sun is shining, warm breeze, birds singing, flowers are blooming and spending our day outside.  Only thing I hate is the pollen.  Yellow everywhere!

We've been taking full advantage of this 80+ degree weather by spending some time outside.  We take long walks with Brody, sit outside and blow bubbles, go to the park, swing in the backyard and just sit and enjoy the warmth of the sun.  It definitely puts us in a happy mood!















With all the fun we've been having it has definitely worn Vivian out.  We've kinda have gotten into the habit of taking our afternoon naps on the couch.  She's only going to stay this little for a little bit and I'm taking full advantage.


Nothing better than having a sleeping baby in your arms!  

Happy Spring!!!

Spring Forward


I love springing forward. Yes, we lose an hour of sleep, but we get more daylight.  I wish it would stay this way year round. I mean, we aren't living in the oldin' days where farmers need the sun to tell them whether or not it's time to go home. 

Vivian woke at 7:30 this morning, which means our day has been off.  She normally wakes around 6:30/7 am and that's what I like. We have a precise schedule with eating and sleeping.

 We made our way to 8:45 church service which worked out for her.  She wasn't too fussy during her stay at nursery.  Usually she is crying all the way home because she wants to eat and nap.  Today she was a happy little camper all the way home.  I fed her a little after 10 am and was hoping she would nap.  Not so much.

We played for a while and then took Brody on a very long walk in hopes she would nap then.  Score.  It worked!  It did not take her long to fall asleep.  Mom and I walked for about an hour and then she opened her beautiful blue eyes.  We got home at 12:30.

I fed her again trying to get her back on track, but it was like pulling teeth for her to finish her bottle.  We went into the kitchen and I gave her an animal cracker to give to Brody for being a good boy on his walk.  When I first gave it to her she tried to eat it, ha.  I showed her what to do and then she fed Mr. B.  They are going to be the bestest friends!  If you give him any food, he will love you forever.




 After Brody's reward, we let Vivian play on her activity table.  She's been wanting to let go and stand on her own for a few seconds, but not long enough to take a picture.  Today she decided to be super brave. 





Love her expression!!

Talking and standing
  She does well for about 15 seconds and then she falls down like a tree.  Timber!!!


Bend those knees baby and fall on your bottom.  I do believe she will be walking before crawling for sure.


 
 Good job baby girl! Mommy is so proud of you!!!
