Andrew Six Months

This sweet boy turned six months on June 19. He seems to like Indianapolis so far! I think he is on the way to consistently sleeping through the night, but when we first moved, we all developed some pretty great colds and now he's teething, so he is still waking some during the night. He is pretty close to staying upright while he is sitting, which is good because he is BUSY! He wants to stick everything in his mouth and laughs loudly at his silly sisters and kisses on his chin and tummy. Mimi and Pops have nicknamed him "An-drool-ers" because he is clearly going to be getting some teeth soon. That's probably a good thing because he is loving some baby food, particularly pears, apples, sweet potatoes, green beans and squash. He is NOT a fan of carrots, which is the only thing I have made from scratch for him so far. Oh well! Love our sweet little man.

Reading and Exploring in IN

We are enjoying exploring our new town. Our first stop was to the library to get a card, of course! The children's section is huge, filled with lots of toys and interactive pieces. Storytime was fun too.

Our real estate agent gave us a pass to the Children's Museum which is a pretty big deal in this town. I can see why! It's four stories tall and has some amazing exhibits. Today, we just explored the Playscape section for children five and under, a piece of the China exhibit and had lunch in the food court. The girls loved the music class that happened to take place while we were there.

the rhythm section

Daddy was sharing his knowledge of the drums with K.

These girls love some songs with movements.

Audrey LOVED the airplane to China. She told Daddy she really needed the window seat.

Even AG and I got into the drumming.

K learning to say "hello" in Chinese. We are going to try it out with our Chinese American neighbors.

I think K could have spent the whole day at the sand table.

Audrey made us proud on this climbing structure. She was really nervous at first, but she stuck with it and did some problem solving, and got to the top!

Last Sunday at Church

 We enjoyed our last Sunday at our church this weekend. Our girls have loved their Sunday School classes and have been well cared for and taught every week. Even though we have been there a short time, we have been welcomed into the church family and made some great memories.
