Still no crawling

By -
Whitney isn't interested in crawling one bit.  You put her on her knees and she flattens out faster then you can blink your eyes.  She does however roll and roll around the house like it is her job.  When she hits a wall, chair, the fireplace, it doesn't bother her because she keeps rolling (in place) .... haha.  Perhaps Whit will just skip the crawling stage and move right onto walking.  Or it could be that she starts talking and just says, "mommy move me over there..." :)



This weekend we went to Jamison's first birthday party.  Whitney and Jamison go way back;)  It was fun seeing him open his gifts and try cake for the very first time, Whit's day will be here before we know it!!  She got tired at the end of the day and would only laugh/smile and not cry when she could pull Ryan's hair.  This is a new found hobby for her and it is apparently soothing!  Poor daddy is going to be going bald one strand of hair at a time!! (p.s. this is Ryan's fault she likes to do it because her encourages it.....tsk tsk tsk)



Jamison was nice enough to share his toys!

Whitney is feeling better now that we have that cold behind us, whew!!  It broke my  heart to see her struggling like that.  It is true that you are in pain when your child is in pain! Since she was feeling better we took a nice walk this weekend and she loved every second of it.  I think people in the next neighborhood could hear her talking/singing!!  



I've mentioned it before but we have the BEST babysitter.  Not only is she my friend but she is just absolutely wonderful with Whitney.  Its a win win situation because I get girl talk when I drop off and pick up Whitney and I can go to work knowing she is in loving hands.  Whitney even reaches out for her when we get there.  Amazing how she adjusted so well:)  Below are two pictures from this week....
She is having fun at Jenny's reading books and finger painting.  YES, finger painting...Jenny is brave:)  


Whitney loves lift the flap books, she goes for a book at our house like that too!


You better believe that is going right on our fridge!!

South Haven, Michigan

We love Michigan and had such an amazing time on our family trip to South Haven this year.  The 4.5 hour drive was easy with older kiddos and totally worth it for the memories we made this year! An old high school in downtown South Haven was renovated into lofts recently and we decided to check it out.  It was such a cute place with pieces of the high school here and there for memory sake.  They had old school desks as the sinks in the bathrooms and lockers turned on their side used as planters throughout the building.  The lofts were very nice and spacious and had an indoor pool and movie theater. We had some great food this time around and even met up with some friends that were staying nearby.  The girls loved being on floats in the water, swimming in the pool and checking out downtown.  I would say the highlight of the trip was the dune ride we took on a rainy morning.  It was so much fun and had such amazing views!! Spending five uninterrupt...

Broken Bone

During quarantine Ryan and I were always saying to the girls, "be careful and don't break anything, we dont want to have to go to the ER during this crazy time...." Whit of course breaks her wrist smack dab in the middle of it all!!!  Myself, Ryan and both girls have never broken a bone -- why does it happen when we literally aren't supposed to and don't want to leave the house!?!? Whitney was riding her scooter on April 22 and the wheel got caught in a crack on a neighbors driveway, down she went catching herself with her left wrist.  She immediately screamed out, "I BROKE MY ARM!!!"  I knew it was a bad fall but everything looked okay, just a little blood and I thought this is like her other falls where she is pretty dramatic.  Fast forward and hour and she is feeling sick to her stomach and still in a whole lot of pain.  We luckily have several neighbors in the orhto field that took a look at her arm; she put it in an ice bath and they suggested t...

Fantasy Football

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
