More of May

We were so happy Ryan was able to have a day off Memorial Day. He went and spent some special time with Jenna, then took the 3 older kids fishing with his dad. Allie and I stayed home and took a nap!
 
 Jenna has been taking dance these last few months and last night was one of three of her dance performances. She was so darn cute, as were the other girls.

 Allie is adorable! We love that she will smile at us and is so alert!

A month in Review

May has been a busy month for us. Here are a few things we've been up to:
 
Adam receiving "Zest" Award at school
 
 Adam's Spring Piano Recital. He did an amazing job!
 
 Mother's Day was full of loves, notes, chocolates, a new skirt :) and gratefulness I get to be a mom of such wonderful children!

Allie continues to be loved by her family. Even after 2 months, the kids still can't get enough of her (neither can Ryan and I)

 
 Allie turned two months on the 18th. She weighed 10 pounds 10 ounces and doing great. I had concerns about her being congested, but the doc says that's normal until they are four months old. I another concern that she wasn't eating enough, but the doc says she looks great and in continuing to grow, so I shouldn't worry.
Then Allie had to get her immunizations. She was NOT happy about that. Fortunately, Jenna was there to calm her down after everything I did wasn't working. Jenna has a way of calming Allie down a lot!
Allie smiles and coo's. She loves to see her daddy and doesn't mind being held by her siblings. She has only fallen off the couch once, and she survived. Allie sometimes will only be up once or twice at night, but sometimes it's 4 or 5 times a night. We're still working on that.
She's still on medication for acid reflux, which seems to be helping.
New born clothes are mostly no longer being worn and 0-3 month clothes are being worn more and more all of the time.
I originally wanted to take pictures of Allie by a big giant stuffed bear, but I decided to do this chair instead, which she hated. Sorry Allie, but maybe next month it won't be so bad.
