42 Weeks Old

To see all the photos from this week, click HERE!

This week was BUSY!  The kids and I went down to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms.  It was a nice trip, but due to our unseasonable warm weather, the blossoms were almost completely gone.  Got some good photos though, and enjoyed it!

You'll also see photos of the kids with a sold sign.  Nope, we're not moving (we're barely moved in at this house!) but we are getting some new neighbors at some point!  At the risk of sharing my parents news for them, they purchased a little place on the water in the city neighboring where we are.  The funny thing is their house is closer to ours by boat than by land!  Ha!  So, maybe we will be able to cruise the water over to their place at some point!  The house needs some work before they move, so the timeline for now is still being decided.  It's very exciting though!

There was a small bed of tulips in DC for us to pose by, but that garden is nothing in comparison to our favorite place in Baltimore.  Since I saw how great the blooms were looking earlier this week, we made the trek to our standard tulip photo spot today and got some pictures.  The pictures were not the best part of the trip though- Evan CRAWLING was the best part!  He did about 3 knee pushes over to grab my face.  I think the grip of being on nice tall grass really made a difference for him.  He was very excited (and so was I!)

Mid week I also took a few photos of Evan in his crib.  A few days ago he started sitting himself up in his crib (sometimes in the middle of the night- bleh!)  He was still on the tallest crib setting which was fine for sitting, but not so fine for pulling up on the side rail.  I went in the other day during nap time and he had pulled himself up enough to get that big head of his nearly over the front rail!  Baby came out, and 45 minutes later went back in.  I lowered the mattress as far as it would go!

Evan fell asleep in his bouncer this week.  Very funny.  When Jillian and I woke him up (half way) he kept his eyes closed and just started jumping again.  Haha!

Speaking of doing things in his sleep- For awhile now Evan has had the ability to crawl around a little bit while he is sleeping.  Sometimes I see him doing it on the video baby monitor.  It's very funny that he didn't repeat this skill while awake until this afternoon!

A couple other things you'll see in the photos- Evan lovin' his bath time (he really really enjoys splashing, dumping buckets, scooting around, trying to drink bath water...) and a photo of all three kids in coordinating pajamas.  It just might be my favorite sibling photo yet!

That's it!  Have a great 7 days, and enjoy the photos!
