April Catchup

While we’ve been busy watching the girls continue to grow up (and to chase after the ever faster Ali), we’ve missed a few blog posts. Without further ado, here’s a bit of what we have been up to in April.

With the warmer weather we have been taking advantage of the park to burn off some of the kids’ energy. While Ali practices her “planks” (aka crawling while avoiding getting trapped in her dress)…

…Ava joins a spirited game of duck, duck, goose (or in Minnesotan, duck, duck, grey duck) with her friends at the park.

Sometimes Ali just enjoys the grass…

while at other times they are the best of friends on the slides…

At home, Ali is happy to pull herself up on just about anything.

And is especially proud of herself when she does.

Ava is becoming an awesome big sister, taking time to play with Ali.

While Ali is getting to be a better eater. Although she manages to get a fair amount on her – especially if it is cereal in the shape of a letter “A”.

 

April is a month of great weather here…with lots of other fun outdoor activities. We took in a concert in the park – here’s Ava dancing to the tunes…

Ali has done some hiking (and sleeping in the backpack) with Dad.

We have been to the railroad park, especially the carousel. Ali’s first carousel ride was a major hit as she smiled the entire time…

And both girls love the swings at the railroad park.

We’ve been to a few birthday parties….Ali and Dad played inside.

while Ava did bubbles outside.

And of course in the month of April our baby girl turned 10 months…
