April already!

Wow, I can't believe it is April already! We had a beautiful sunny Sunday here today and we enjoyed it by heading to Vedder River after church for a walk. Then we enjoyed dinner at Brad and Rebecca's place :)

March was a busy month. I realize I haven't posted since Brant took his first steps! Oops! I should try to post more often but I find myself mostly posting to Facebook these days.

Kristina celebrated her 8th Birthday on March 22nd and I celebrated my birthday on the 17th so we had a combined party with my niece Elayna (her birthday is on the 18th) at our house on Friday the 20th to celebrate with my side of the family. Then Kristina had a friends birthday party on her birthday after church with a few of her friends from school.

Brant continues to do well as he learns to walk independently. He now can walk very well holding just one hand, in fact he almost walks better that way now than he does with his walker! He can walk across a room by himself but is still a bit wobbly ... but with Brant we have learned over and over and over again that he does things in his own time and we may as well sit back and wait patiently! But certainly we are encouraged that he is getting stronger every day and we hope to be able to have a "walker burning party" (only symbolically, we do have to give the walker back! LOL) soon! Maybe by the end of summer for his 6th Birthday, just before he heads into first grade? A good date to aim for I think. Oh and as far as his celiac goes, he is doing extremely well on the gluten free diet and has so much more energy now! Along with all that energy we are also hearing a bit of back talk! Not our sweet little Brant! Oh well, kids are kids! Now he will just have to learn what a time out is if he doesn't want to listen ^-^

Anyhow, that's enough of an update for now I think. I will do my best to take another video of Brant walking in the next few days so you can see how much he is improving already.

Happy Spring!
