May..so far


There was a storm coming in last Sunday, so the wind was really strong. Lubin went to look out the back window at how strong it was right when a tree fell on the house.


This is from the top of our back yard. Looking at the back of the house.



Luckily it did not do any damage to our house (only the fence) and no one was hurt.


The tree from the neighbors yard.

Then that night, when we were getting ready for bed, Lubin walked down the hall and noticed the carpet in front of the air handler was soaking wet. The pipe were the condensation drains was clogged and it flooded the hallway. This is after our air conditioner has a freon leak (which they can't find) and they are going to have to replace the whole unit.


Wednesday morning Lubin went to go feed the dogs and I could hear him yelling "....on the grill." I asked him what he said and he told me to come up there. This is what I found. Bailey had jumped ON TOP of the grill sometime during the night. It is a charcoal grill so we were not worried about it being on and burning her. I had to run and get my camera so we could take a picture. Lubin said she had to have been up there for a while cause there was tons of hair on the racks. She was shaking she was so scared. I don't think she will be doing that again.

We are truly blessed that no one was hurt (in the tree falling and Bailey on the grill) and that the air conditioner still works (Especially with a 6 month old in the house). But hopefully our bad luck will end there and May will only get better.
In Lena news, She is still pulling up on your fingers but not on anything else yet. She is up on her hands and knees and is rocking but hasn't quit got the crawling down yet. But is so close. I will post more pictures later.

Random pictures

Here are some random pictures that I took off my phone this week. Her personality is really coming out. I will post pictures from this weekend, when her Great Papa came to visit, later.
Mommy's Sunshine

Trying so hard to get that ribbon off. By Easter she was successful!

Silly girl!


Enjoying her green beans

This is what they have to do to Lena's crib at school now. She is so nosey she will lay in her bed and scream at you, so they decided to cover up the bed so she couldn't see anyone. It works, she goes right to sleep now.

Silly baby!

Lena has learned to pull up on your fingers. She gets so upset when you sit her back down, such a drama queen. She is too funny!

Lena 6 month pictures

I love this picture! Don't worry I cleaned her hands with 3 different disinfectants afterwards.

She did not care for the grass.

She loves her hands.

Getting hungry.

I love this one too!











The ducks did so good. Suprisingly they did not run away much.








Thank you Leah for taking the wonderful pictures! So glad you came along. And thanks to Hannah for letting us borrow Sunny and Cher.

Movin and a Groovin

We got home from Birmingham and Lena was alittle fussy. She did not want to eat and would not let me put her down. I figured she was worn out from our busy weekend so I decided to put her to bed. We skipped the bath and went straight to reading a book and going to bed. I can usually just put her down and she will go to sleep on her own. Well after about 15 minutes I heard her talking on the monitor. I grabbed the camera and went into her room. She was talking/singing and dancing in her bed! It was the cutest thing. Obviously she wasn't ready for bed yet. Wonder what song she was singing in her head?

*Sorry if you are having trouble with the sound. You can go all the way to the bottom and turn off the music so you can hear her better. :)

This baby can always put a smile on my face!

Easter

Lena had a wonderful first Easter. She is learning how to sit up on her own and she is doing so well. She has also learned how to dance. I will try to post a video later.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!



She loved the Easter eggs


She wouldn't look up at me







We are still learning how to sit up without a pillow so after about the 4th face plant....



We were DONE!!



Then we had a bottle and got changed and are happy again!
