Someone has learned a new trick at our house,

so we had to lower the crib.

I know I'm a bit partial because I'm his mom,

but this kids is seriously cute!

He's 10 months old already?!

Ice makes EVERYTHING feel better...

Even tummy-aches

Megan has been taking swim lessons for the last several weeks. Since this is our last full week of lessons and the focus of the lessons is teaching survival skills in the water, Megan did her lesson fully clothed on Wednesday. She knows to float on her back to breath and knows how to do that from about every situation she could be in when she's in the water. She loves jumping from the diving board and has LOVED swimming lessons. I can already tell she's going to be heart-broken when they end.

My sister-in-law, Jen, had her third girl last Friday. They names her Ana Christine. Eric and I went to the hospital for date night and of course I had to bring my camera. On the drive there, I mentioned to Eric that I am extremely glad that I am not pregnant, nursing, or have a newborn at my house right now, but there's just something about seeing and holding a new baby that tugs at my heart...

You know it's starting to warm up when you feel compelled to buy the BIG bottle of bubbles!

He's not quite crawling, but is slowing getting there.

He doesn't quite know what to do while on his tummy as evident with his facial expressions.

At least once a day, Megan tells me this, "Mom, I am very sad. I need to call Daddy."

And so she does...

For Easter, we some of Eric's brothers and their families over for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. I was a little bummed when we woke up to snow that morning, but it melted enough that we were still able to let the kids loose outside. It was madness, but lots of fun!

There are so many things that I love about this picture:

Frosting on Emily's face and her squinty-eye smile

Megan's crazy half-smile and NOT looking at the camera

Meg's arm around Emily

Both girls wearing their Winter coats at an Easter egg hunt in April

But, mostly I love that they are friends. I am so grateful for the good friends I have in my life and that Megan has some too! In fact, as we were driving to this Easter egg hunt, I told Megan that we were going to see her friends, David and Emily there.

She then responded, "And Lindy? (their mom) I love Lindy. She is my girlfriend!"

I guess she is grateful for good friends too!

Megan came downstairs today with this:

Not something terribly out of the ordinary for her to want, except for the fact that I knew that I had put that on top of my tall dresser in my bedroom after finding it earlier in the day after cleaning out some drawers in my room. I thought maybe I put in on the lower dresser afterall... That was until I went upstairs and saw this:

All the pillows from my bed piled up high by the dresser so she could reach and get the sucker.

This girl is too smart for her own good. I just had to laugh and grab my camera!
