April Review

 April was a good month at our house, well it's not our house, but it is our home at the moment!  We're thankful to have our brother & sister-in-law's house to live in.  We're starting to think about what might be next for us, as we're expecting that it will sell in the next couple months.  The house was just relisted with Century 21, take a look if you're interested.

With Amara turning 6 months, we crossed a few milestones this month.  First cereal and sitting up a lot more consistently.  There are a few movies below of both.  We've spent a lot of time with family - moving James & Nicole into their first house,

The House Warming Gift we gave James & Nicole... Go Vikings!

celebrating Grandpa Pete's 76 birthday with a party including his two brothers' birthdays as well, of course Easter with Aunt Barb's annual Easter Egg Hunt (we - Dan - found over 56 eggs!),

and then a celebration of Dan's cousin's little girls first birthday!

My little girl looks so big!

Finally a picture with Great Grandpa & Grandma Jensen!  We'd seen them many times before but I had forgotten to get any pictures!   

We've also watched some of the NBA playoffs... Amara loves to watch basketball!  Go Bulls!

Amara also got her first cold this month.  That meant more naps in mommy & daddy's arms, and her first really bad night (I'm not complaining cause I know it could be a lot worse!)

And obviously Dan's been working on the farm...

We have a few more pictures from the last month to share as well as some movies, so without further ado...

Here is Amara trying her first cereal. She's still not a huge fan, but we keep trying every once in awhile. We're actually going to try and do more of a Baby-Led Weaning style, but since Amara's not interested in food much yet, we wanted to start giving her a little something. She's starting to show more and more of an interest though everyday. On Monday she enjoyed sucking on an apple and today she enjoyed a piece of green pepper!

Next we have some pretty cute videos of Amara laughing... on the changing table and in the bath.

Amara also enjoys spending time with Daddy playing/listening to music.

Grandma Di accidentally shrunk this hat so she gave it to Amara.  I doesn't even really fit Amara but she kinda looks like a little pilgrim in it! 

And lastly the most recent video of Amara sitting up pretty well and chewing on the rattle Cindy gave her... it's a GREAT rattle!
