During a storm last Monday my gizmo for Sunrocket was shot resulting in a breakdown of my internet and phone communication. If you need to get a hold of me, please try me on my cell. I hope to have service for both this week!
It’s been annoying to say the least!
*In big news, Maygen took her first real steps. She walked several steps (like 7-8) in a row!! It was so great. The best part is, is that Tim is gone a lot and she waited until yesterday to show off in front of mommy, daddy, Pop Pop, Mal Mal, Aunt Missa and of course her sisters and new cousin:)
*Friday I took the girls to the Ped office. Erin weighed in at 32 pounds (in clothes) and is 38 inches tall. Maygen is 14 lbs 2 ounces and 27 1/2 inches long putting her well below the 3rd percentile for 18 month olds (I knew that though
). Ada is 13 lbs 2 ounces and 26 1/2 inches long. She is in the 60% for weight, the 95% for height and the 75% for head circumference.
*Saturday Tim returned from a morning meeting at church and decided he’d really like to meet him, so we packed our bags and our kids and left in an hour for Harrisburg! My parents were there and they had Erin with them so we decided to surprise everyone and not tell them we were on our way. I love to be spontaneous:) It was so nice to spend the day with Missa and her little boy! I loved it.
*7 weeks down, 1 week and 2 days to go!!!!!!! I can’t wait. Did I mention that it seems like it’s been forever???
*Erin recieved twin baby dolls as a gift from Jamie. Guess what she named them!?!? What else other than Abbi and Kaylie!!
We booked our first family vacation!!! We’re going to stay here!
Tim and I are thinking about planning a trip to Williamsburg in October. We are looking at King’s Creek Plantation. We’ve never been to Williamsburg so this will be new to us.
For all of you that have gone, do you know this resort? What are the costs of the daily passes? Any other info is much appreciated!!!
Thanks.
I figured I’d update finally…
*Ada is rolling over. She can roll from her back to her belly and then back again. She now prefers to sleep on her belly. She is also reaching for toys that hang from her car seat. She smiles all the time and she also sleeps all night. She goes to bed around 10pm and wakes to nurse around 7am!
*Cade was born on our 5 year anniversary. Tim and I are planning to go out and celebrate this weekend. We haven’t decided whether we should go to Cheesecake factory, Red Lobster or The Melting Pot. Suggestions??
*Maygen seems to be gaining weight. I’ll know more soon as she’ll be weighed this Wed and then next Friday at the Ped’s office. I’ll have them all weighed on the same day and on the same scale. I’m looking forward to that. Right now she’s not taking much by mouth but we have her at a full feed. They want her weight to be around 18-20 pounds before we start really pushing food to substitute tube feeds. Maybe in the next few months we can turn her car seat forward facing!?!?
*Erin is continuing “grow up”. She likes to dress herself and likes to help pick out her clothes. She is becoming more and more independent every day. I’m debating on whether I should sign her up for a week long dance and art class for 3-4 year olds this summer. I think she’ll really enjoy it and it would be good for her too. It’s held at The Center for Creative Play so we can always stay after and have time there too. (Although, 3 kids, two moving toddlers and one nursing baby might make it very tricky for this mama).
*I’m so glad to have a boy in the family. How cool is that!??!?

Cade Thomas Schimmer entered the world on Friday June 1, 2007 at 1:33pm. He and mommy are doing well. He was 6lbs 14 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. He is the cutest little guy ever!!!
I’ll post pics when I get home!!!
Her water broke last night at 10:30!!!!!!!!!
