Ahhh.....a break

So this weekend was absolutely wonderful for me! I actually got to relax a little while Andrew watched the girls for most of the weekend. Lily and I did do WalkAmerica in Griffith Park on Saturday morning. The weather was perfect: overcast, but not cold and not rainy. The walk was only 5 miles and Lily did great in the stroller. She only got antsy toward the very end. Our group raised $1600 total for March of Dimes. Pretty good I think! We have two little boys in the group who arrived early, Henry came 9 weeks early and is a great healthy 22 month old now, and Riley came six weeks early and is a happy little 2 year old now. Henry is in the group picture here, on the far right. Riley was still sleeping so he didn't join his mom, Kirsten (in the green on the left). Lily and I relaxed a little after the walk.

Jenn's shower went very well on Sunday. I think everyone had a fun time. The shower was very laid back and everyone just sort of hung out. Jenn and Tony really liked the blanket and booties I knit for them. It's always fun to actually give the thing you've worked so hard on to the person and see their reaction. Ella and Lily enjoyed themselves too playing with all the kids.

In Lily news, she is officially crawling now! She started going forward on Friday. She only goes 5 or 6 movements before she decides to sit up. But she is definitely moving forward instead of spinning around in circles or going backward. And Ella seems to be saying a lot more things. Whenever she first sees Lily in the morning or when Lily gets up from a nap Ella says, "Hi Lily, Hi Lily". She also gives Lily toys and says, "Here you go, Lily." Very cute!

And Lily has slept in the crib in the bedroom with Ella for the past two nights. The first night she got up 4 times. But last night she got up once at 3:30 and that was it! And then got up at 6:15. We can definitely handle that. I don't want to jinx anything, but I definitely hope this is the start of her finally sleeping well!

I've added some new pictures to the April album and the Carnival of Golf pictures are up. Nothing is captioned yet, but hopefully will be soon! Happy May to everyone!
