8 months and First Easter!

Your first Easter was wonderful! We went to Arkansas and had a great time. You and I went up for a week and then daddy met us up there for the weekend. It was our first time back since Christmas so it was so fun to go back! Your Mimi and Pops had the moving trucks at their house to move everything to West Virginia. We are sad to see them leave but excited for them at the same time. We found a bunch of your daddy's baby things as we were helping them pack up and brought it all home. There is a brown teddy bear and a little rubber ducky that you love. By the way you LOVE rubber ducky's. It is too cute. The Easter bunny brought you some rubber ducky's. We had a fun Easter egg hunt with all your cousins and had a big Easter lunch after church. Here are a few Easter pics...












We took you to the aquarium a few weeks ago and you loved it. You were so good the entire time. You stared at all the animals and just looked around everywhere we walked. It was our first big family outing to somewhere big like that. So fun!


The blue bonnets are beautiful this year so your Granny and I took you to a field close to the house and had a little mini photo shoot. We also took some pics of you around the neighborhood with some other pretty flowers. You are definitely use to the camera by now.




Still no teeth this month but I definitely think they are coming soon! You are not only standing now but you are cruising around while holding things. There is one toy that you are absolutely in love with right now. You wake up wanting to play with it. We took it to Fayetteville with us and you played and played and played with it. Don't worry we brought it back home with us too. You have started eating a few finger foods. There are these rice cakes called mum mums and you love them. I can't believe you are almost 9 months. Now I know why EVERYONE tells you it flys by....cause it does! We love you more than words can say! God has truly blessed us!


Seven sweet months and STANDING!

You have just learned how to stand up in your pack n play and you love every minute of it! You are such a smiley thing. Still no teeth but I absolutely love your gummy smile. You truly have the best smile in the world! Here you are standing your pack n play! We put pillows all around so when you do fall back its nice and comfy. When you do fall you just lay there and wait for us to come pick you up and stand you back up. You are not interested in trying to get back up on your own. Lazy lil thing :).

                                                
The weather is starting to warm up here in Texas and we have been getting outside as much as possible. You love to go on walks and look at everything around you! I am afraid its going to be a very HOT summer so we have to take advantage of the pretty weather while we can! Santa brought you a cute little tricycle for Christmas and you LOVE it. You look so cute in it too. We have attempted to let out doggy Ranger go with us on some walks but it is near impossible for me to keep us with both of you so he has been pretty upset about missing out on walks lately :). Here you are on some walks.



Easter is next month and you have so many cute outfits. I can't wait to show you off! Ohhhhhh my I almost forgot you have officially said YOUR FIRST WORD!!!!! It is........... DaDa! You love your daddy so much and you love when he gets home from work and plays with you. We both love you so much!
