Balloon crazy

Danica went to her first birthday party on the weekend. She went crazy with the balloons. Tim and I thought that she might have rabies, that's how werid she was. She just loved it. I blew up a balloon from here for her to play with at home. Here are a couple of pictures of her trying to eat the balloon. We have some video of her screaming in delight.

New shorts

Kim Martens and I went shopping for our kids a few weeks ago. I wanted to buy Danica some shorts and t-shirts for the warm weather. I had to take a picture of her in her cute new shorts. She enjoys chewing on her bare feet. Hopefully the weather will improve so that we can go for more stroller walks.

More swimming pictures

I heard a lot of good comments about the swimming pictures so I decided to add some more. Danica is still enjoying her lessons. The teacher told the parents to dunk the babies under the water. I guess you are suppose to blow in their face and then put them under. Danica didn't really enjoy that part. She swallowed some pool water. Only 2 more lessons left. I have really enjoyed watching Tim and Danica spend sometime together.

Jodie's wedding shower

Here is a picture of my sister-in-law at one of her showers. She is wearing an apron full of kitchen utensils. I thought that the picture was cute so I had to post it. Only a couple more weeks until the big day.

First Mother's Day

Since this is my first Mother's Day being a Mom, I had to have my picture taken with Danica. Tim bought me flowers and bought me some greasy DQ (at my request). We went to church in the morning and then in the afternoon I had a nice long relaxing nap. It was a nice day!
Danica is just over 7 months old now and is growing fast. She is rolling a lot now. She can go across a room pretty quickly (but only one way :) I'm starting to feel the pressure about finding a daycare. Yikes, time has gone by so quickly. Please let me know if anyone knows of someone who has open spots.

Our little Starfish

Danica started her first Starfish swimming lesson yesterday. I'm not sure who had more fun ... Tim or Danica. She loved looking at everyone around her. Here are some pictures of Danica having a great time. At the end of the lesson, Danica was allowed in the hot tub but only for about 5 minutes.

Cousins

Ryan, Ange and Cora spent Friday night here. I had to take a picture of the girls sitting in their carseats. There is about 3 months difference in age. At this age, there is quite a difference in size. We spent Saturday morning going to garage sales with Ryan, Ange, Jodie and Steve. The little girls did pretty good and were quite patient with us.

Florida trip

Tim and I went to Florida for 10 days. We had a great time but were ready to come home and see Danica. While in Florida, we went to Disney World and Universal Studios. The weather was great and we came back with a little more color. Tim burned his back pretty good :) We didn't really take very many pictures but here are a couple of them. My favorite ride was 'Splash Mountain' and Tim's was 'Tower of Terror' and 'Expedition Everest'. I really enjoyed all the rides but my stomach didn't enjoy them as much. I found that I had to take it easy on some of the more wild rides. Tim could handle any ride ... lucky boy :) We spent the last 3 days of our trip hanging out with Ryan and Heidi Hunt. It was a lot of fun going on rides together. I think that we went home more tired then when we left but it was still a great time.
