Spring Awakenings

Spring has sprung and we have been taking advantage of our time outside! Viv's finally gotten the hang of sunglasses...sort of. She leaves them on for a bit and then takes them off. And I realized the other day while we were in the garage she shoved them into the grill of the mini van....I still have yet to try and retrieve them...if it's possible! 

Trying to get little bro on board too....

We are on the verge of potty training. She now will tell me when she's dirty and is proud to sit on the potty...but I'm still waiting for warmer weather to actually 'train'....and for Nathan to have the weekend off. 

Mr. Rowan is officially a chunk...at 2.5 months he's already surpassed what Viv weighed at 6 months. 

Viv, Harper, and Grace are going to be flower girls this summer in Ben and Whitney's wedding...we went to her shower and Viv loved helping open presents. 

She's recently been asking to have her toes painted...no one is safe...not even 'Baba'. She knows where my nail polish is stored and brings it out to you and sits. She then points at them and says 'ink toes' (pink toes). 

I may have a girly girl after all. 

The sibling love continues....

This guy continues to be such a smiley little boy. 

We spent the weekend down at my parents while I was covering for Wendy while she had surgery. Uncle 'Anum' had fun with Viv in the monkey tent.

Riding her 'purple bike'. Her feet don't quite reach the pedals just yet but she's pretty good at scooting around with her feet. 

Nathan took her to the ISU spring game. They had a pretty good time! 

Playing with her Sesame Street toys at 'Gaga's'. 

Learning to bird watch with Papa...don't tell her she's using the wrong end of the binoculars. She gets very excited to see the geese and yells at the top of her lungs 'GEESE'!!

She and Nathan are still doing gymnastics on Wednesday afternoons. The group is waiting for their stamps on their hands and feet after class. 

My little fashion plate...ready for church in her new spring outfit complete with matching necklace. 

Enjoying some time with 'Baba'

Taking one of our first family walks through the neighborhood. 

So relaxed....

Uncle Al and Aunt Nancy got back from Florida and so we stopped in so they could meet Rowan. 

Viv loves to wear her 'kitty, kitty coat' and frequently asks to put it on along with her hat...even when we have no place to go...

I got to work a little this month while Nathan went to the Rolex and I covered a few days in Washington while Wendy was out having surgery. Wrigley was happy to get out of the house. 

Me and my baby!
