Mommy's little helpers

I took the girls grocery shopping with me to Trader Joes. They have the "shopper in training" shopping carts so each of the girls pushed one. Basically, I loaded their baskets with what I needed to buy. It was one of the cutest sights I have ever seen.

Sand, water, sun=fun beach day

We took our first trip to the beach last week. The girls have been eagerly waiting to go all summer and were so excited as we got ready in the morning.

Sophia loved dipping her feet in the beach waves. The water was freezing cold to me, but it didn't seem to bother her. Hannah loved playing in the sand, filling her bucket with sand and dumping it out 5 feet elsewhere. Then, she would repeat that again and again. Alexandra enjoyed sunbathing and relaxing by the ocean breeze. Noah was a trooper. He really enjoyed his first beach experience and had lots to look at, especially his sisters running around and exploring.

If the weather stays warm, we'll be making another trip to the beach very soon.

Noah is 6 months old

At Noah's 6 month check up, his stats:

21 lbs. 7.9 oz.

28 inches

He is growing super fast and reaching many milestones. He has graduated into a Britax Marathon carseat since outgrowing his infant car seat. Now, he has the same carseat as his sisters.

One of his favorite toys is our beloved jumperoo which has lasted through all three girls. This toy is well-built considering how much we have used it. Here's Noah reading his Pooh book in between jumps.

First ballet class

The girls are starting a ballet class through our Parks and Rec. It's a 2-3 year old class and they make up half the class.

Here they are at home getting dressed for class.

In class and checking out the other little girls with leotards and tutus.
