May Highlights:
*We redesigned our garden this year. Shea and our neighbor Scott layered retaining wall block to build up the edges. We extended it out a bit more than years past giving us more room to plant more vegetables including red, green, and orange peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, peas, onions, and strawberries. The most fruitful plant this year was definitely our cucumber plant. We probably got 50+ cucumbers from one plant! I even learned how to make/can pickles so we ended up with at least 6 jars of those as well!
*Camdyn turned 6 weeks early in the month and still had a little baby acne hanging around. She has been cooing and gurgling a lot lately. Sleeps a lot and eats a lot.
*We ventured out to the Cinco de Mayo Festival with Jessi, Hannah and Melanie. We watched a parade, walked through LARGE crowds and tried tamales.
*We went to IGM Gymnastics Open Gym with Luke. Camdyn slept in her carseat while Larkyn enjoyed the trampolines, balance beams, open mats, and balls.
*Celebrated (Granny) Janny's 60th birthday! We had a great time with family and friends.
*We had a Subway picnic at the park with cousins Breally and Cayden, and played at the playground. We also went to watch Breally play softball and had a girls night in with Breally and May May that night while Daddy and Grandpa Art went to the Brewer game.
*Larkyn took swim lessons for the second time. She loved the water this time. By the last few classes we were tying a noodle around her belly as a floatation device and she was swimming on her own.
*Camdyn turned 2 months old on the 21st. At her 2 month well check she was 12 lbs. 15 oz (95th percentile), and 25 inches (97 percentile). She is a very happy baby. She has found her hands and loves to suck on them.
*We began sleep training this month. Camdyn started going to bed earlier, around 7:30 pm. If she woke up around 4 or 5 we used the pacifier and sleep sheep and then she would usually go back to sleep until 7 am the next morning. The pacifier and sleep sheep have been been her best friends lately!
*Shea built a wooden playset for the girls from scratch. We watched him build the "clubhouse" piece in the garage one rainy day. The rest of it came together a few days later. The girls, especially Larkyn, loved the swings. It took her a little while to warm up to the slide and feeling "safe" up in the clubhouse. It also took awhile for her to get over the flies on the slide.
*Larkyn has been attending Sunday School at church. It has taken quite awhile for her to feel comfortable and wanting to stay without Mommy or Daddy. Though each week seems to be getting better.
*Larkyn loves to sing her ABC's, as well as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse songs, Twist and Shout, and other wiggle worm songs.
*Larkyn enjoys having phone conversations with her family members. She is quite the talker! Her new filler word is "so". "Yah, so, Mommy is changing Camdyn's diaper, so..."
*Camdyn and Larkyn's new best friend arrived in the world...our neighbor, Jena Kunze, was born on May 31st!
