16 Weeks Today!




Highlights:
-This has been a fun week
-She has started (finally) grabbing at things and holding toys & showing interest in them
-She is now reaching for people, which is heart-ache-ingly sweet
-Her raspberries are now hysterical and basically just her spitting at you
-Is experimenting with bringing things close to her and away from her
-She holds onto her bottle and uses her hands to pull it away from her and then back to her mouth (she doesn't get it into her mouth every time, but she tries)
-Found her feet !
-In Fuss Watch: she is very mommy-centric and quite fussy when not with her

Happy Birthday Bubby!

Elias & the Praying Mantis


1st Annual Adamstown Throwdown


























We had a wonderful time at Tom & Anne's this weekend. It was so great for almost the entire Schattenfield clan to get together (you were missed Leah, Sarah, Brigitte, Joe & Diane). We played lawn games badminton, volleyball, golf, soccer & at night we played music and sang songs. The food was sublime. The house, garden & orchard were awesome. Sitting underneath the willows listening to the wind, we had a blast. It was so great watching the cousins play. It is hopefully the start of a yearly thing.
