Spring 2017

This spring was a great time. Here are some pictures that I took and want to remember.

Claire went through a stage of tucking in her pajama shirt. I always got a kick out of it because she was serious about it.

6 week old baby Nora with a little smile.

One day Makenna came down to our house so Cara could go to a work visit. Lily and Claire loved playing with her.

Rusty had spring break the first week of April. One day we went to a park up Provo Canyon. It was fun to enjoy the spring weather outside.

Girl cousins at Trevor's wedding. Cara, me, Kristen, Alyssa, Daniel, Nicole, and Kayla.

Claire and Lily really like playing with my scarves.

The day before out Easter party at Grandpa Wilson's, we went on a hike on the mountains in Draper to a big bridge. It was fun to go with Alyssa and Nicole and her kids.

My birthday! Rusty got me seasons 4, 5, and 6 of Full House!

Claire looked so peaceful when she was sleeping this night. I had to take a picture of it so I could remember when she is loud and wild.

Cute Nora!

Nora is 3 months old!

Lily was very proud of herself because she carefully laid out her animals on the pillow and covered them with a blanket.

Smiley Nora. 3 months old.

This was back in May during the first swim on the summer.

Claire is getting great at writing her name. She wrote this with chalk.

Happy baby Nora. 3 1/2 months old.

Nora is a stiff baby just like Claire was.

Claire learned how to ride a bike with training wheels. This day Claire went inside and came out with this outfit on. She said it was her riding outfit.

This picture was on June 2nd. It was the first night that Nora wasn't bundled when she slept. It was a rough adjustment for her, Rusty, and me. She liked being bundled, but she was getting too hot and sweaty when she slept. Also, just a week or two before this we moved her from the cradle to the crib.

Three cute girls. They often ask to hold Nora. Claire is especially good at trying to cheer Nora up when she is sad and I am busy doing something else.

We started potty training Lily Monday May 22. I wasn't planning on doing it then after our terrible experience potty training Claire. But Lily had started to tell us that she went pee and needed a new diaper. We decided it was worth trying since she wanted to new diaper every hour. The first day she only had two accidents and after that she did great! She got the hang of it really fast. I was pleasantly surprised. It gives me hope for potty training Nora.

One of the first days of potty training we did find this in the toilet. After that she only got a few squares to wipe.

Lily with her sticker chart. She filled it up with all the times she went to the bathroom.

Nora loves laying in the bath water. She doesn't splash much, but she likes to lay there.

My parents got a blow up pool. One day they pumped it up and we all swam.

Curvy baby sleeping.

Nora is 4 months old! She is very skinny. Here are her stats from the doctor:

Weight: 10 lbs. 5 oz. (.66 percentile)

Length: 24 in. (33 percentile)

Head: 16 in. (54.5 percentile)

We went to a Beach Boy impersonator concert in June. It was perfect because this spring Claire and Lily have been obsessed with the Beach Boys. Starting back in March we started to listen to them, and then that's all the wanted to listen to . We went to the concert with my dad, Kristen, and Makenna. It was a rockin' good time.
