6 months!

Happy 1/2 year to Zach! I can't believe he's already 6 months old. Lilly and I tried to get a cute picture of him and this one was the best- he's super drooly (all the time) and he kept falling over during the photo shoot (he doesn't sit all that well yet).

Graduation

Lilly had her graduation from preschool last night. She didn't actually graduate since she's going to go back again next year, but most of the kids in her class are going on to Kindergarten. Here are some pictures, which I'm sure will look the same next year at this time!

Here are a couple new pictures:

Zach- with his mohawk (he actually is asleep during this photo too- he tends to crash at night and there's no waking him sometimes!)

yay for nice weather!!

Today was so beautiful- what a great Mother's Day!! Here are some pictures:

At Notre Dame:

This is at the end of our walk around the lakes at Notre Dame. Zach is asleep and Lilly is choosing not to be happy and look at the camera.

Lilly's first soccer game. This game was super funny- by the end of it one girl was crying because she didn't want to play anymore, one girl was asking her dad throughout the entire game if she could go home and play, and Lilly wanted to sit on my rain boots (not sure why) and suck on orange slices most of the time. The other team won like 45-2 or something- they had 2 super star soccer players who I think need to have their birth certificates checked to make sure they are under age 5. If waves-at-parents were a statistic, our team would have taken home a medal.

Spring Break, etc

Here are a few new pictures. Most are from Spring Break- we went to visit friends in IL for the weekend, but other than that we just hung around here for the week. It was luckily nice for part of the week so we weren't cooped up inside (like this week).

Zach, rolling: he rolls all the time now and I have to be careful to put him far away from objects that he'll roll into (today he rolled across the family room floor and got stuck by the couch). I'm a little nervous that he's rolling so early (Lilly didn't roll until closer to 6 months)...we might have a mover on our hands!

Super cute baby!

Friends in IL

Lilly's first soccer practice. Her first game is this weekend- it's pretty funny to watch her team as no one really knows what they are doing and most of the girls are acting like soccer practice is a playdate.

Our homemade puppet theater. I really really want a puppet theater, but don't have room for one (and they are super expensive usually), so we made one that we can put up and take down in a second! I also attempted some puppets, but those aren't as impressive

Hanging out in Lilly's "boat" (the ruler is her oar- this child does not need actual toys- it's awesome! She pretends with whatever she can find)

Here's a video of Zach talking. He talks all the time now and will go on for about 20 minutes!! He isn't talking a lot here because we have the camera out (same thing he does when we try to get him to smile for the camera- he refuses!).
