Spring and Consignment Finds

I am not one to be the first in line at a consigment sale or to spend hours going through the racks. It actually overwhelms me a bit and I can't even remember what I'm looking for in the chaos of it all. So as I circled the gym last week at the Y consigment sale I happened upon something great, two dress up costumes that the boys fell in love with. Pierce's had Gabe's space bday party this month and then they learned about space at school this month so he loved his new space suit. Holt's favorite ride at Disney was Buzz Light Year so one this was a score too!

Pierce has a 'small' battle would on his face but was a trooper when it happened.

We are loving this warm weather and finally being able to spend all of our afternoons outside. What a difference it can make in our days and all of our moods! Camden got in our swing for the first time tonight. She loved it, she was giggling the whole time.

Recent Pictures

Camden's great grandmother, Mom Mom made her this super sweet poncho. Please someone in Philly share these pictures with her. I'm hoping to get them in the mail soon when I get to ordering pictures.

Camden has passed the 10 month mark. Its going way to fast. She got her third tooth this week and has another ready to pop through. She has fully taken to table food. Yesterday she ate her first grill cheese, she ate half of it then ate apple, peas and a container of yogurt. She already loves pizza and will pretty much eat anything put in front of her or that is going in my mouth when I'm holding her. She has also sampled rocks, grass, and mulch this week :)

This pose gives a glimpse into her crawl.

Check ups

Holt had his 3 year check up last week and Camden had her 9 month. And we hit both ends of the spectrum. Holt weighted 36 lbs and was 39 inches tall, 90% percentile for both. This is new territory for our family, we've never had a child in in the 90% percentile for weight. Love it! Camden was 16 1/2 lbs and 27 inches tall. Our little peanut was 35% and 15%. They both had great checkups and the doctor was happy with their growth.

Camden will be 10 months old and a few days. She has started eating table food and loves it. She started taking a bottle again this month and even doesn't mind formula. She enjoys playing in the living room and looking out the windows. She loves her fingers and is a mommy's girl. I made it to 9 months without getting paged from nursery at church, not too bad. She loves to stand up and often crawls in with one foot pulled up...something that resembles a crab. When we were cleaning out toys from attic for consignment we found the walker. How funny, with our first child we would had it out two months ago. She took off on it right away. She says ma ma and loves to babble and giggle at her brothers and daddy. Her brothers firetruck is currently her favorite toy.

Its Official..

Pierce is going to Smithfield next year for kindergarten! I received the letter in the mail yesterday. Its funny, I've been so ready for this process of deciding where he would go to be over, yet now that is it, it feels way too real that my baby is really going to kindergarten. Yes, there were tears yesterday as I once again processed that our 'simple' sweet preschool world is going to change and my boy is growing up way to fast. However, God has given us such a peace about sending him to Smithfield and we have been nothing but impressed by the school and staff at the school. Many of you know I attended LOTS of open houses and school visits and honestly didn't think we would end up here, but we are thankful that other doors were clearly closed and that this feels like a good place for Pierce and our family right now.
