Spring 2011


Hey Buddy, I know these posts are few and far between, but when I do get to them, there's lots to tell. So sit back and relax 'cause this one's going to be long!! We've had such a fun spring so far. We're getting lots of use out of our zoo membership! One day we went with Ellie and Baby Grant (and their parents, of course). You and Ellie were so cute in the garden together holding hands!





In April, we went to Little Rock to make one last trip before your baby brother comes along! We timed it perfectly because we got to celebrate TJ and Kevin's birthday with them too. You had so much fun playing out at the farm, looking at bugs and playing in the leaves. Mommy was EXTREMELY worried about snakes, but luckily there were no sightings!

We also went to see Grandpa and Meemo and Beepo. You love their dog Riley, but poor Riley, all he wanted to do was nap and you kept getting in his face and starting at him and trying to pet him. But he handled it very well, I must say!








While we were in Little Rock, we went to the zoo with Emme and Papa. (We love our zoo time, can you tell!?) You got to ride the carousel AND a train, and you saw lots of fun animals!









We've also had lots of picnics. We've had a picnic in our backyard with Ellie and Abigail, and we've had picnics at the park as well. There's one park in particular that has a sandbox with TONS of trucks which you love. We've been there a couple of times and you seem to really like it.















Next was Easter! You got a great Easter present from your Grandpa - Thomas trains! You were so excited to get them. It was such a nice surprise!







Then you had an Easter egg hunt at school. Your dad and I went to see it, but by the time we got there, you guys had already picked all the eggs off the playground! (I think it took a total of 2 minutes for them to be found!). But the teacher got you all together for a group pictures. You all were SO cute!!!!








Also for Easter you and I made birdsnests out of Peeps and pretzels! I wasn't sure how this was going to pan out, since the last time I tried to get you to help me make cookies, the only interest you showed at all was when it was time to pour the sprinkles on. Then you were quickly back to playing with trucks! But you were all for making these! You were such a good helper! And you loved eating them too!!









We're also hitting a big milestone this month. You've officially moved into your big boy bedroom! It's still a work in progress, but the beds are your dad and your Uncle Jay's old bunk beds from when they were little. Now Mommy was not about to let you have bunk beds at 2 years old (that's just a head injury or broken arm waiting to happen!), so you have 2 twin beds! I was a little worried how this was going to work, but you are doing SO well in it! You love to get under the covers, and we read books before bedtime. You also have to have your sock monkey and your dolphin stuffed animal with you and your 2 tag blankets! It's so cute - I didn't think you were ever going to get attached to a stuffed animal - it just hasn't interested you at all so far. But it looks like maybe that's changed (at least for the moment!).




It's been such a good spring, and there's so much more to come. Hopefully I won't go so long between posts next time! More to come... Kiss Kiss from Mommy!
