Rah Rah Ree!

 At the end of January we signed Lily up for a Cheer Camp at Cane Ridge High School. Keaven gave me the heads up about it and she signed Taylor and Maddie up for it as well so Lily had a lot of fun. They were there for a Saturday and then performed at the next Friday night's basketball halftime. Oh my goodness. It was adorable.

Lily, of course, has already made plans to go next year!

Half Birthday

 Um.. Jane is six months today. What? And honestly we spent her half birthday hanging out. She pretty much did what she does every day. Eat, play, diaper change, sleep, repeat. I definitely snuck cuddles and kisses in there too.

 What can I say about this little girl that I haven't already? Our whole family is still just as smitten with her as the day she was born. Jane has just brought a whole new element to our family. Now, I'm not going to say that I don't remember what life was like before we had her because we loved being the awesome Townsend Family of Four. But since we had Jane, somehow I feel like we have rounder edges than we used to. Does that even make sense?

 Jane spreads so much joy to us. She makes us smile and laugh and love even more! It's been so great to see William and Lily love and serve and sacrifice more than I have ever seen. They're amazing siblings and have stepped up more than I could have ever imagined.

 This month Jane has been progressing. We got her a bouncy chair that she loves and we all have learned the little tune it plays. I switched the music and William commented that it was different.

 I started making baby food and she seems to like it. She eats like a champ, which makes feeding her more pleasurable. I have to say that fruits win by a landslide.

 Jane is still not a big fan of rolling over, but she is a pro at rocking on all fours! Crawling will be soon upon us. She's almost sitting up by herself also. I think she'll be a lot happier when that's accomplished.

 Jane still "talks" and makes all kinds of noises. She's especially chatty in the mornings.

 

Jane is a beautiful little soul. I feel lucky that I get to squeeze her little body and kiss her cheeks every day.

Next six months, you have my permission to slow down a bit. 

If William was 100

So, last week the kid's school celebrated their 100th day of the school year. William told me that he didn't want me to see a picture of him that his teacher sent home. I didn't really think about it until I went through his folder that night and found this gem..

 

 What William will look like when he's 100. Thank you Ms. Byrd for this awesomeness. I'm not going to lie, I laughed until I cried. I got it all out before I talked to him before school the next day and told him that his picture was silly. He then told me that it wasn't anything compared to another boy's in class. I wonder what that one looked like!

 

Speaking of my dear William Rigdon, he started basketball this season! He's on the Ragin' Cajuns team and he's absolutely loving it. His team has won 4 games and lost 4, I believe. He was excited because his friend from his first grade class is also on his team.

 Isaac is also playing in the same league but for the sharks. Our games ended up being back to back one Saturday. It was awesome and I totally stole Krystin's cute picture of them both.
