Outside Fun

The weather has been beautiful lately and we have tried to take advantage of it and be outside as much as possible! The girls planned a wonderful weekend of birthday celebrations for me! We spent the morning outside doing chores, planting flowers, riding bikes and riding the Barbie Jeep. Neither of the girls are real good at driving, but they sure have a great time whipping each other around and riding in circles. We did realize this weekend, that some of the crazy driving the girls demonstrate might not be ALL their fault. Looks like one of the wheels on the Jeep is turned outward. That is what happens when you get it at a garage sale! Needless to say though, they love it and it suffices just nicely and fits within the budget!! Olivia enjoyed helping plant flowers and wanted to plant her own. She went around to all my pots that already had dirt in them, collecting her own dirt for her pot! Addison just wanted to ride up and down the street on her bike! We are so glad we got her a new one, she enjoys riding this one and is doing well! Ella even got to enjoy some sunshine after her morning nap! She seemed to not be minded by the grass at all! She did not even try to eat it! We went to the doctor this morning for her 9 month check-up and she weighed in at 20lbs 11oz!! She is still smaller than her big sisters at this time. Well she weighs less than Liv and a few ounces more than Addison, but is much shorter than either of them! Sleeping is getting better for her, and she is eating better and the next thing we are going to start working on is getting rid of the bottles!! Our goal is to be bottle free by the end of July when we go on our family trip to Pittsburgh!! Should be attainable! At least we hope so! She does love her bottles and her pacifier a bit too much for this mommy!!
