Alexis - outside

Yesterday while Avery was sleeping, Alexis wanted to play in the water table. We took Ariana out and this is what happened!

 She had a blast!

Petting Zoo

You all know how much I love Gaspers, the Nursery. Yesterday they had their petting zoo. Avery still LOVES animals and below you will see how much she (and Alexis) enjoyed feeding the animals.

Believe it or not our girls are touching a snake!

 Me feeding an ox.

 Avery feeding the goats.

 Alexis feeding ducks (I think).

 There is a BIG smile on the other side of that bar!

 This face says it all!

Gaspers, you did it again. My girls loved it! Thank you!

Show time at Little Gym

This past Friday, the girls showed us what all they have learned in the very short time they have been practicing at The Little Gym.

From floor workouts to the uneven bars and even the balance beam! They both did AMAZING! At the end they both received a beautiful medal which is now displaying in their rooms! They would love to show it to you! Again, we are SO proud!

Last day of school!

Can you  believe it? Thursday was the girls last day of the school year! They had their end of year party with lots of fun activities and goodies!

So eager to go in, they wouldn't even pose for another picture.

In September Avery will start Preschool and Alexis will have another year in Pre-K! Our girls are going up so fast!

Lolly & YoYo

We first saw Lolly & YoYo in Peddlers Village a month or so ago. They are a two-woman band. One plays the instruments and sings and the other sings and get kids up and moving! Initially only Alexis loved them. Now, they both love them!

Every Wednesday in June, Lolly & YoYo are at The Learning Experience (a local day care). A FREE concert!

This is Bubbles. The mascot from the daycare. Initially, Avery wanted nothing to do with him.

 This is Lolly & YoYo performing for all the kids.

 Alexis and her "sword".

 Ariana enjoys them as well.

 Look who is now a big fan of Bubbles! That's Avery!

Avery certainly is starting to venture out of her shell. Little by little. We are so proud of her!

Little Gym

The girls had a free week pass at The Little Gym. They tried three different classes, participated in "open gym", and both have really enjoyed themselves.

The season had one class left and a "show", so they are finishing the season.

Here is a sneak peak of the girls in action. They will be showing us everything they have learned at the show, next Friday.

I knew Alexis could do it all and would enjoy it. Avery was the one to surprise me. She LOVED it and did SO well with everything!

Alexis still does dance and has her big recital on Father's Day weekend and then that season will be over. She will have one week of gymnastic camp this summer along with swimming lessons through The Malvern School. She will also start Fall soccer in August with practice during the week and games on Sundays.

Avery will be doing a gymnastic class this summer, with classes on Saturday mornings.

Let the fun begin! I can't wait!

Ariana is 5 months!

Yesterday, Ariana was 5 months old!

Things are slowly getting a little better. I finally have her sleeping in her crib and night and I think I'm making progress on somewhat of a nap schedule in her crib!

She loves her sisters, being outside and being held by mommy! We're including her at the table for meals but she's still not showing much of an interest in eating her cereal.

What's next for me is continuing to try her on a bottle. I just bought another new bottle (I think this makes 6) that we are trying. Then, to get her comfortable with other people!

It's a good thing she's so lovable and smiley!

Headed towards 6 months!
