April Monthly Favorites

Hello my wonderful readers! It's that time of month that I share what I loved from the month before. April came and went so fast I don't have as many things as I have in the past months. 

1. Coloring: I have really gotten back into my adult coloring books, I found 3 in my closet when I cleaned it out haha. I like to sit with Aaron after the kids have gone to bed and color while he watches what he wants. 
2. Podcasts: I have loved listening to the sermons from our church if we missed going. Also I like the Harshe podcast with January Harshe and her husband Brandon, they talk about large family topics and postpartum experiences, etc. Also Aaron and I listen to a podcast once a week together that Aaron's friend does called Classless Chat and it's pretty funny.
3. Chai Tea Latte K-cups: they are Walmart brand, I tried it at moms group a couple times and had to track them down. I am usually not one to shy away from my peppermint mocha creamer only but I really like this. 
4. Playing with the kids outside: we ended April with warm enough weather to fill our little pool and the kids are loving it! It's nice to watch them play and just put my feet in the little pool and then eat Popsicles with them. 

That's really it for the month of April, see you in the next post!

Penelope Ann at 3.5 years old!

Hello my wonderful readers! I cannot believe our little girl is 3.5 years old! It is crazy to think how fast time is going by and how fast she is growing into a real little person that can do things on her own. 
She is wearing 3T/4T pull ups and size 4 panties. She can go to the bathroom alone and wash her hands and all which is a big relief for me with 2 others that always need something. She does have her accidents still but when we are home she is good to wear panties all day and a pull up at night. When we are out and about we put a pull up on her because she gets distracted and doesn't say anything until its too late so we are still working on that. 
She is wearing size 3T/4T clothes. The 3T pants are a little short for her long legs and 4T pants waistbands are too big for her little waist haha. She wears anywhere from a 3T-5T size shirt depending on the brand and size 8 (I think) shoes.
She sleeps through the night but has a hard time falling asleep, she likes to talk herself to sleep haha. She is dropping her nap but we do still have rest time.
She eats like any normal toddler, whenever she feels like it, some days she eats barely anything and the next day she eats everything. She is on whole milk because that's what the twins are on and I think it's silly to buy two different types of milk, she drinks water most of the day though. She has a multivitamin in the morning with breakfast. 
We are pretty much on the same routine as the last time I posted about it.
Firsts since she turned 3: She got to bake Christmas cookies with grandma for the first time, First birthday party for her brother and sister (she helped blow out candles and open gifts), First memorial for a great grandparent, First friends birthday party (she had a blast), First cousin born after her, first time helping make a birthday cake for daddy, since being 3 she has really experienced everything more because she understands more now.
She can walk by herself all over with no problems. We have a harness backpack with a leash to use when we are at a busy fair or event. 


Hope you enjoyed a little update on our big girl! Lots of Love.
