March Came In Like A Lion

March proved to be the same as the previous months: some days were warm, some days were freezing cold. Mother Nature sure is having a hard time this year. Luckily we have an awesome basement to hang out in on the cold days, and an awesome neighborhood to explore on the warms days. It's pretty much a win-win situation. 

Too bad all thugs aren't this cute.

I had some spare wooden bunnies laying around and she was thrilled to be able to paint them one day.

Claire's famous expression. Luckily, she's starting to come around.

The chariot.

We are usually able to find a leftover ball at the elementary, and Sof is starting to get pretty good at dribbling.

Her tongue hangs out All. Day. Long.
And, I had to document the fact that I had to squeeze her into those 12-18 month pants (I think they run small).

She proudly went to the bathroom all by herself, but wasn't too keen on me laughing my head off when she came back to the kitchen. She tucked her nightgown in ...

Princess Sofia overlooking her subjects.

The Spjute Day at the church was a lot of fun. 

Playing the drums.

I love the evolution of Sofi's bucket head pictures. We're starting to get quite a few.

Sofi loves "lippies" (aka: chapstick)

One beautiful night out playing basketball.

She is so happy to finally have her own tree to climb.

Feeding the ducks. This goose was huge!

 

Claire is more of a cat-napper, but even if it's for a few minutes, I still think she's adorable.

These two are still best buddies!

I love everything about this picture :).

Her chubby arms!

Going to town on that mango.

Watching for Daddy to come home is much more important than pulling pants back up.

Sof wanted to take me to lunch one day, so we ate lunch in the car. It was pretty cute.

She also took this picture of me and Claire. She's getting pretty good.

Sofi loves umbrella's and was so excited to finally have a rain storm to go outside and play in.

Claire has never liked being bundled.

Sometimes, we jokingly call her "Gus Gus."

She's got skills.

Claire turned 6 months on March 25 and is in the 75th percentile for weight and 20th percentile for height. We are sure good at making our babies short and stout.

Greg proudly took this picture.

Sof still loves to hold Claire. We joke that in a year Claire will be holding her.

The Gateway Discovery Children's Museum had a free day and boy was it crowded! But, we braved the crowds and went anyway. Poor Sof is so timid that she is often being pushed to the back of the crowd. Yes, I am that parent who pushes other kids out of the way so mine can have her turn. My hips don't lie people!

Luckily, Greg had already gone to work when this red balloon floated into our room (courtesy of Sofi). But, she is shorter than our bed so it looks like it comes in our it's own. Anyone who has seen the movie "It" knows this balloons significance.

We spent a morning at Farmington Station, and it wasn't as warm as it looks, I promise. But, Sofi was still content to strip off her jacket, socks and shoes and play in the fountain. 

She is starting to look like a little girl!

"Splits just like Megan!"

Finally, a picture of her smiling in her bumbo.

I'm trying to come up with things for Sof to do that don't involve the TV. Playing with rice was a fun alternative. But, it was messy. Cleaning up rice got old real quick.

These little stools in the bathroom are Genius!

I came home real quick from YW and found Sof in the basement by herself while Greg was up putting Claire to sleep. Let's just say, this video makes me very happy.
