Spring update!

Hello, all! Here are some pics from our walk this weekend. Alice loved taking her binoculars out and looking for animals. All we usually run into are dogs, but that is pretty exciting for her too! Dana was pumped for some fresh air and a ride on Daddy's back!

Alice showing off the stick she picked up. She had quite a fun time throwing sticks into a puddle. I will post the video shortly!
Dana had her 6 month check up last week. She is doing great! She's 18lbs 7oz and that puts her in the 90% for weight, 90% for height and 75% for had circumference. She is healthy and doing well with the introduction of solid foods. So far rice cereal and squash are big hits with her. We also have started offering her a sippy cup of water with her meals. So it's been an exciting time for little Dana!
Dana goes to the eye doctor tomorrow to check out her watery left eye. I'm hoping it's a quick fix and nothing to worry about. We'll keep you posted!
Love that big smile! She's pretty cute when she's happy - which is only some of the time these days. The teething is pretty tough for this one. She's having a much more difficult time than Alice did. We just purchased some orajel for home and school. Let's hope it does the trick and that this is a short lived discomfort!Tea time with Alice and Dana! Not sure if this is a result of Alice's new obsession with Mary Poppins and the tea time scene described in her book. Either way, thought this was pretty cute! Especially when Alice started pouring tea into Dana's cup! What a good big sister!
Tea time turned into tackle time. Alice protested at first but then we convinced her that Dana was just trying to give her a big hug and she warmed up to having her sister crawl all over her! Dana is still a little too young to actually 'play' with Alice so watching this kind of interaction was fun for me! Looking forward to lots of entertaining sister moments ahead!
