sofias 4th birthday party

I have a little obsession with birthday parties. Not that we spend a ton of money on them, we dont, nor do we buy extravegent gifts or do anything over the top. But I still love birthdays. I love love love having those hours of so many people focusing on just 1 of our kiddos. They get to feel like stars and they should! I love having lots of friends and family together enjoying each others company. I love watching the excitement as said child opens gifts, chases friends, eats far to much junk and turns red as happy birthday is sang to them. I LOVE birthday parties! We had Sofias 4th birthday at a local park. We had lots of friends and family and some new friends from preschool. She wanted a rainbow themed party, which was super simple to provide! A friend made her a rainbow cake, when we cut into it each layer was a different color, the kids loved it! We also made cake pops with rainbow sprinkles and served rainbow goldfish (among other tasty foods). Sofia was royally spoiled and had a great day! I still can not believe our girl is 4!!!!

6 months

Fischer Jonathan, You my sweet baby boy are 6 months. Time is flying and you are quickly growing up. It makes my momma heart sad as I mourn the loss of newborn days but at the same time it makes me jump for joy as you grow and develop! You are so happy and sweet! You giggle easily and have the sweetest little dimple on your cheek. You can sit unsupported for a few minutes at a time, roll both ways and can almost crawl! You love your exersaucer and Johnny Jumper. You keep us all giggling with your high pitched squeels and chats, so so sweet! You are VERY picky about baby food and so we have had to be very creative and selective in getting you to try out solids. I have been making your baby food which I enjoy doing. We have just introduced solids very very slowly which has seemed to start working and you are getting more adventerous with your foods! We could not imagine our home without you stud man. Despite being a terrible sleeper I am treasuring every moment with you. I love playing with you. I love cuddling you. I love nursing you. You are my sweet babe and I thank God for you!
