Circus is in Town

Brian, my dad and myself took the kids to the circus last weekend when they were in town. Yes, I bought Bristol an outfit just for the circus (I've been wanting an excuse to buy it). Bristol loved the music in the beginning and was dancing like crazy. Brayden liked it all, especially elephants, poodles and tigers. Bennett really liked the horses. It got late and we left a few minutes early, it had been a busy day.

Love his new cheese face!

 

Easter 2013

We took the kids to a Easter egg hunt at our church the weekend before Easter.

We had the kids pictures taken with live chicks and bunnies again this year. Too bad the kids weren't feeling great that day :(

We had a great Easter this year. The entire family joined us at our church, Highview Baptist for church. Then we all headed over to Huber's Farm for a great meal and then their giant Easter egg hunt.

Sweet baby girl

Just for laughs ....attempts at family picture take 1

Take 2....and give up!

 

Bristol is 11 months old

Bristol is turning into such a big girl!

She now has two teeth!!!

She is walking everywhere, all the way across the room.

She loves to climb on things, she learned that from her big brothers.

She loves to eat, she really doesn't like baby food and wants whatever we are eating. She does like the squeeze pouches though.

She wears 12 months in most clothes, although some 9 months still fits.

She loved the circus and music when we went last week.

She can climb stairs, I found her at the very top of our 14 (hardwood) steps last week!

She loves baths and showers.

She still nurses some, but getting less and less...usually when she wakes up at 5am she likes to nurse and then maybe once during the day and once right before bed, sometimes maybe once or twice more.

Her feet are still tiny, wears a 2 infant. Sometimes it is a 6 month shoe and we even have a pair of 3-6 month pair that fit good.

She already is getting a little tan and its only April, she defiantly doesn't take after mommy in that area.

Her hair is turning so light, right now it is light light brown, with some blonde highlights and black tips in the spots where her newborn hair is still in.

Her eyes are turning like Mommy's and Brayden's, hazel is what you call it I guess, but really they are multicolored and change. Brownish greenish blueish.

She loves her brothers. She is a Mommy's girl right now but loves when her daddy comes home.

She wants to get into everything her brothers are into.

Bristol 10 months

Bristol is starting to really show her personality now.

She wants to do everything her brothers do, and she is crawling really fast now so she is starting to be able to catch up with them.

The other day I caught her on the fourth stair when I forgot to close the gate.

She is really close to being able to walk. She stands up on her own in the middle of the room constantly now.

She got her first tooth on 3/24/13. Yes pretty late on that one haha.

 

4/4/13 her first real steps, 3-4 steps!!!
