The start of April found us on the mend from Maya's first real fever which she came down with at the end of March. My sweet little baby just wanted to cuddle with me. And my sweet big baby was so cooperative with me a little less involved with playing than usual.

Poor, sweet, sleepy snuggled baby in my arms. Get better soon,
my love. |
 |
What do you do when you can't have a popsicle to make you feel
better? Let your big sis have one for you. #thatswhatsistersarefor |
 |
One day after she came down with her fever, Maya
was totally feeling better. |
 |
| And Kate was all decked out in princess gear! |
Since we're officially in Spring, Kate and I decided we'd refresh our dos. I got a little cut and Kate got a little trim. It was her second official hair cut and we'll be staying with Chrissy for as long as we can. No more children's haircut locations when Mrs. Chrissy is the best!
 |
| Kate's before - long, beautiful locks. |
 |
| Kate and Mommy - BEFORE! |
 |
| So big but still so small. |
 |
| Ruff Ruff! Puppy dog ears! |
 |
| Precious! |
 |
Mrs. Chrissy even added sparkles. #sheisamazing

 |
| Kate and Mommy - AFTER! |
Back at the homestead, Kate started gymnastics and absolutely LOVES it! And Maya is still as cute as a button!
 |
| Mrs. Jill and Kate's classmates: Ezra, Lucy, and Joshua. |
 |
| Attempting the rope swing! |
 |
| Success! |
 |
| My little bear. |
Maya has had many milestones recently with crawling and tasting lots of new foods. We've noticed, in the food department, she is most happy when she is feeding herself with food that looks similar to what we have on our plates. #notafanofpurees #wecantblameher
 |
| She wants what she wants. |
 |
I'm not entirely sure why Jackie had a t-shirt on but we put one
on him and he looked ridiculous. |
 |
Kate masters the art of multitasking by eating a
popsicle, while meditating on top of a bag of dog
food.

This was a momentous night. Let it be recorded that on the night
of Saturday, April 9th, 2016, Kate officially bathed herself. |
There was a very bittersweet moment in the bathing of oneself that night for me. I was putting Maya to bed after bath. Our typical night, if Kate is not out of the bath by the time Maya is, then I will put Maya down and then go back in the bathroom and bathe Kate. On this night, Kate came out of the bathroom, hair sopping wet and wrapped in a towel and said, "I washed myself, Mommy." I mean, a part of me cried because my little girl is most definitely turning into my big girl. But a part of me cheered because it was kind of a milestone! #yougogirl
I'll leave you with a little sisterly love because there's really nothing in the world better than that.

| The sisters that scoot together, stay together. |
That was our first week of April, as told in August. #onedayillbecaughtup #oneday
