April 11

We've had a wonderful month filled with fun!  Besides celebrating Daddy's birthday, we also had a visit from Mamaw and Papaw to celebrate Sister's Baptism and got spring pictures taken.  Never a dull moment around here!

     


First up for the month, singing happy birthday to Daddy for the big 3-0!  Little Buddy was very excited to write his card and help bake the cake.

I love how excited he gets to celebrate birthdays, and especially Daddy's.  It's no surprise, though, since he is Daddy's Little Buddy in every way.  He, and Little Sister, are so lucky to have such an amazing Daddy who is so involved with them every day!

     

Lego time with Daddy when he is home and FaceTime breakfast with Daddy when he is at work!


     

Checking out Daddy's new office in the new tower!


Our school days are going well (as long as Momma can remember to prep the lessons the night before!).  Lots of time for learning, picnic lunches, and creativity, such as guitar time and robot making!

     

     

The best way to spend my day!


 Height and Weight
As of tonight, 51.5 pounds and 43 1/4 inches tall.  So, so big!  And I should probably add in another physical change we've noticed...his eyes!  His baby blues had slowly changed to a slate grey over time and now we've noticed they've taken on a hazel hue.  Not too much of a surprise since Daddy and I both have hazel eyes and it was such a general transition, but comparing his eyes to the blue of his sister's really shows the change.  He's still very handsome though, and has eyelashes most girls would kill for!

Personality
Definitely becoming more sure of himself and more conversational with others.  In fact, he had a great time playing with his friend, C, when she came over for a playdate.  The other things we've noticed is his high energy!  If you looked up the phrase "ants in your pants", I'm sure his picture would accompany the description!  Just a happy, wonderful, but very active little boy!

     

Backyard fun and picnics with C!


Developmental Milestones
Still growing by leaps and bounds in expressing himself, but we've had some setbacks in the potty area since we had visitors in to see us.  Hoping to get him back on track!  We've added some chocolate chips in as incentives; normally he doesn't care for treats as rewards and I am not a fan of using food as a reward tactic in general, but I'm willing to try some small sugary positive reinforcement if necessary.  

Fun Tidbits
Did a great job at spring pictures (I still have upload the session here) and with the Easter Bunny!  He's still pretty stoic in pictures, but I think he's a handsome guy nonetheless.  

     

Too cool to smile!


He is definitely a Lego kid.  He plays with them everyday and continually surprises me with his creativity.  His big project this month was making his own My Gym out of his Duplo blocks!


Tada!  My Gym!


And still a wonderful big brother.  His love for sister warms my heart every day.  So blessed to have my Little Buddy!


I love you, Sister.


Good night,
