Good times!

The weekend of April 17 we went to Kidfest in Ridgeland. Kidfest is a small fair for kids and we thought Wyatt would have fun. And boy did he! He had a blast, I'm sure we will try to go again next year. We tried to sit and watch the circus act but Wyatt wanted to get back outside to ride the rides again!







This first picture says it all!



I think he rode this ride about 5 times!





The merry go round was fun too!




It was not very exciting for Lillian but she did so well that day!





This is Wyatt in the firetruck. He spotted it right off!



He did surprisingly well riding the ponies! He did it all by himself!










They even had big tractors the kids could climb in!






This was Wyatt's favorite part. We had to drag him away after about the tenth time riding it!





The next weekend was Easter. And boy did the Easter bunny come! My parents came up and went to church with us. The kids had a lot of fun! Unfortunately, we did not get any pictures of the kids dressed up in their Easter outfits, we were running late to church! And Wyatt was covered in chocolate when we got back because his teachers gave him candy at church!








Lillian's Easter basket.




This week Wyatt is moving up to a new room in school. I am excited to see how he does because this is no longer a toddler room. He is such a funny little boy and so smart! Thomas and I are very lucky! He can sing his ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, The Moon Song, and several others. He can count items up to twelve. He can also sing the Hail State with a little help from me! Lilly will be 4 months old this week! I can't believe she is growing so fast! She is starting to get teeth so she is a little cranky right now. She is rolling everywhere and holding her head up very well. I guess we will be starting solids in a few weeks.

Lilly is 3 Months Old!

As the title implies, Lilly is three months old today. I can't believe she is growing so fast! We've had a rough week this week. About last Wednesday she got a stomach bug. She still has it as of today. Hopefully it will leave soon! She is such a sweet baby. Even though she doesn't feel well most of the time she doesn't show it. She is very smiley and has started to laugh and giggle. She is still working on turning over from back to front. She almost has it. In fact she has started to sleep on her side. She is still sleeping through the night and has been since about 6 weeks. There have been a few times she woke up during the night with this stomach bug. She loves to play on her gym mat and look at the toys. She is also doing well at daycare. Wyatt is such a great big brother. He loves to hold her and he will love and kiss on her. I caught him yesterday singing to her! He loves to say good morning and good night to her. This sounds weird but it so cute when he does it: his nickname for her is Lilly Monster. On Sunday, we all drove down to Hattiesburg to surprise my Grandmother for her 85th birthday. It was really great to see everyone! I wish I had brought my camera but I forgot it at home. The pictures below are from today for Lilly's 3 month birthday. And yes Wyatt has bug bites all over him because he went fishing Saturday with his daddy and Pawpaw. Right before we took the pictures he also fell on the deck and he has a big scratch on his chin. This first picture is my favorite.
Swinging like a big boy!
I thought I would put in a picture of our furry member of the family. Wyatt and Harper have the best time chasing each other around the yard!
She has some major cheeks!
Cheesy grin!

Daddy and his little girl swinging.



She also loves playing with her hands.
