early april and a 'surprise' party

Piper really wants to roll from back to front; however, the brace makes this difficult. His shoes will get stuck in the carpet and he won't be able to swing the bar and other foot far enough over. Not sure if this will ever happen while he's wearing the brace...we'll just have to see. Another problem when he does roll over is "what's he going to do once he's on his stomach?". He HATES being on his stomach and no matter how long we lie him on the floor on his stomach, we won't be able to make up the time he wasn't able to do it with the cast.

It will be interesting to see how long it will take him to figure the brace out...


Spending time in the sun out on the porch...he likes it as long as he's out of the direct sun and has a good shade over his eyes.


His head control is so much better than it was a few weeks ago. He enjoys just sitting still in the jumperoo and watching what goes on around him. He also likes looking at the dining room light and talking and smiling to it...haven't gotten that on video, but it's cute.


My 'surprise' 30th birthday party! Matthew had a big party planned, which was supposed to be a surprise, but he left his Facebook page open and I thought it was mine. I saw that 'I' had a message from my mom. When I opened it, the first line read "Are you still planning to have a surprise party for Sharon?". I realized what I had just read and was not going say anything, but then I would've had to act surprised with the house totally cleaned and looking way better than I would if people had surprised me! There was no way I could pull that off! So, I told Matthew that I knew about it. We talked about not telling everyone else and me jumping out and surprising them, but that wouldn't have been very nice. =) It was a really fun time with a lot of our friends and family!


My good friend, Denae and Piper. She's the one who's always getting on me about posting new pictures and videos on here! =)


Finn was sick of pictures and apparently just refused to smile anymore.
