William is 6 months old!!

Happy March Madness to everyone! Can you believe I am 6 months old? I can't either! I am tipping the scales at 15lbs 9oz and about 26". I love to eat-my favorites so far are peas, green beans, avocado, banana, and peaches. I am not a fan of oatmeal or rice cereal, no matter how many times Mommy tries to feed it to me.

This month I learned to rock n' roll. I love to roll to get to my sister's toys. I am also sitting by myself. This makes playing with toys much easier. I love picking up my blocks and jamming them into my mouth.



I love to nap, but sleeping at night is overrated. I am getting better now that I can sleep on my tummy and find my pacifier to put in my mouth. However, I still love those late night snuggles from Mommy.



Hope you all have a great Easter! I will be celebrating in NY. Also, Happy Start to baseball season! Mommy & Daddy are already brainwashing me into becoming an Indians fan. With their decent spring, it looks like maybe just maybe we won't be a basement dwelling team.



Love,

William

(Mark, Kim, & Elise too!)

We're going to the Zoo. Zoo. Zoo.

This weather is freaking AWESOME! So in true St. Pattys day fashion, I took the Fletcher Kiddos to the Zoo to soak up the sunshine. Elise loves the apes, polar bears, and giraffes. All the animals were out today and active which changes in the summer when they are usually napping.

Elise & da Chimps! She thought it was funny when the baby chimp mooned us.

William was there too!

Watch out Michael Phelps...here comes Elise!

Our friend, K, introduced us to a super fun swim school, Goldfish Swim School, today. Elise has always been a little nervous in the water and clinging on to me for dear life. As a former swim teacher & lifeguard this broke my heart. So, we decided to bring in the big guns and sign her up for swim lessons! Elise was a bit nervous at first, but once she warmed up to Mr. Mike, she got really into the lessons! I look forward to watching my little guppy turn into a fish!

Spring has sprung (almost!)

Finally Spring has made an arrival here in Michigan! Even though the snow took 6 days to melt, the warm temps, the birds chirping, and the sun put all of us in a great mood!! I took the kiddos out to the park Monday and we had fun even though there was still 5-6" of snow on the ground...

William loves his first time in a big kid swing!

Swinging in the snow!

Word has it that next week it is going to keep staying warm! YAY! Perhaps we can say goodbye to winter until next year?!!?
