On Sunday Josh turned the big 3-0! We celebrated by having the Schmickles over for food and games. The kids had fun playing in the afternoon and then we all had the evening to play Settlers of Catan and then the boys played some PS3 football. Josh got the Piloti driving shoes he's been wanting for a long time.
Ava also turned 6 months! As you can tell she is the happiest baby. Her Dr. appointment was on Tuesday and she's doing everything she should be doing including blowing lots of raspberries. She weighed 16 lbs. 1oz, was 25 inches long, and her head circumference was 17 inches. The Dr. felt she was measured too short, but didn't remeasure her. Her head circumference jumped from 50% to 75%, but she's not concerned. She's been really slow to take solids, but with more practice she should get it soon enough.
We enrolled Hayden in Kindermusik along with Carlye and Jack and Lena and Cora and Quincy. What is Kindermusik? Here is the website's description:
What is Kindermusik? Simply put, Kindermusik is a music and movement program. Each week in class you’ll play, listen, and dance to music that will impact you and your child in profound ways. That’s because every song, story, and two-step has a carefully chosen purpose in this creative curriculum—one that’s designed to stimulate and strengthen the vital neural wiring taking place in your child’s mind, right now. A Kindermusik educator will guide you every step of the way so you know how each activity contributes to your child’s overall growth and development.
The latest research with proven methods—that’s Kindermusik, too. Our child-centered curricula incorporate ongoing, in-classroom studies with our own, 30-years’ experience in music and child development. Plus, we’ve combined the best music learning methods found in Orff, Kodaly, and Suzuki.
“Take-home” books, instruments and CDs from class let you take learning with you wherever you go. All while strengthening the emotional bond between you and your child.
So whether it’s twirling under a sea of scarves, experimenting with age-appropriate instruments, singing about a scampering squirrel, creating a musical ensemble, or snuggling in your lap during story time, Kindermusik speaks your child’s language and offers her (and you!) the best music and movement class available.

We are so glad that you are in Kmuzik!!...i think i might like it just as much as the kids!!!

When I look at Ava's pic I can't help but smile and tear up a bit. She is so incredibly adorable. People might think that Lea and I have some super power to get her to smile like that, but she just does it with very little prompting.
Fun!!! and how precious is she! What a doll!!! They'll LOVE Kindermusik! Isaiah was in that as a baby and had a great time! I wish I would have been able to get E into it when he was a baby. They're going to have so much fun!!
She is such a happy baby!! She always makes me smile!
Aww, she's getting so big! LOVE the Blue Skies dress. I'm on the lookout for it for my girls :)
Thanks Summer! I love that line. I am going to get that Navy blue skies one next-- probably for next year.
