Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Today we decided to try a little tummy time with Connor in his gym. Johanna laid with him and talked to him when he got a little frustrated. All of a sudden...He rolled over from his tummy to his back. I couldn't beleive it!!! So I told Tom to come and watch and he did it again! He's a strong little guy. I should have had a hunch, when he was kicking me all the time in my belly and rolled to his side 2x the day he was born. (no pix - but we'll work on that)

Introducing Connor Walsh Gaumond!

Connor Walsh Gaumond arrived just a couple of days after his due date - May 11th - his Grandma Gaumond's Birthday!

Connor arrived quickly after my water broke at 3am. He was born at 6:48am.

Connor weighed 8lbs 10 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long - He's a big boy! Look at those feet too - WOW!

Mom and Connor Daddy looking so proud with his baby boy!

Grandma Maloney also was there for Connor's arrival.

Connor is a tough little guy already - he tries to hold his head up all the time and rolled over to his side 2x the day he was born.

Belly Pose

Every dr. appt I pose for a picture to add to Baby G's album - just like Jo's album. Johanna has now started posing with me. It just makes me laugh.

Front view

Side view - usually the 2nd side view pose I show the belly. If Johanna has a shirt on, she will lift it up and show her belly too.

Window Watching

We rearraged the living room and now Johanna has a spot to watch everything happening on our street. When I looked over the other day, she was licking the window. I had to get a pix or two of it.

Getting Ready for Summer

On Friday we pulled out the water table and invited Elizabeth to come over and splash in the water with us. They both loved it!!!

What a face! Mmm - what can I do next? Who can I splash?

Jo and E were both taking little sips of the water.

The girls were hysterical splashing in the water table. They both were giggling and screaming in delight. It was so cute!! It made both Val and I laugh too.

Mmm - fish

Lots more screaming -

Both the girls were soaked!!!

Baby Elizabeth's Birthday Bash

We had a kids Birthday Bash for Baby E. She turned 1 on April 23rd!! E loves ladybugs - so that was the theme. Johanna and I brought ladybug cupcakes and Erin and the kids made decorations. Making ladybugs - Johanna actually was really into putting the dots on her ladybug all by herself. It's not usually her cup of tea.

Erin helping Elizabeth with her ladybug Elizabeth loves books - Erin, Lily, and John gave her a great farm book. She was very curious to see what the animals said.

John testing out E's new blocks.

Johanna having some balloon fun in between opening presents.

Val reading to Jo and Lily

Our ladybug cupcakes - Johanna loved to sample them. Before they made it to the party, Jo got into them a little. Mmmm

Happy Birthday to You Elizabeth!!!

What a cutie

John was excited about the "cake". That's his favorite part of parties - he ate 2 cupcakes.

Jo patiently waiting for her cupcake.

Lily making a cupcake ball with her cupcake.

Tada - I am done with my cupcake!!

Johanna found cupcake pieces in Elizabeth's highchair and started snacking away. I had to distract and turn the chair around so she wouldn't keep eating out of the seat.

E was covered in cupcake - even her socks were full of cupcake.

The party wrapped up with story time and gift bags. How fun!! Everyone was ready for a nap after the party.

So tired!!

Johanna sometimes will fight going to take a nap or going to sleep at night now that she is in her big girl bed. This particular day she refused to nap, so we were having a snack. As I was picking up the kitchen I noticed that she was very quiet. When I looked over she was out cold sitting at the table. She didn't even wake up when I put her in her bed.
