Easter festivities

We had a busy Easter weekend!

Friday we dyed Easter eggs!  Brynn had a blast making an egg for all of us and pointing out which colors to use.

 Putting the eggs in

Yay for eggs!

An egg for Brynn, Mommy, Evan, Daddy and the Rock!

Saturday we headed over to visit the Easter Bunny {we didn't wait to the last minute or anything, did we?}  We had to wait for a bit, so we entertained her by going over to see the other kids sitting with the bunny.  We waved at him, talked about how nice he was, that he ate carrots and she even said "Me sit a bunny?"  I stupidly thought this years picture might have two smiling kiddos.  Boy was I wrong....

As soon as it was our turn to see the Bunny, Brynn clenched her legs around me and started crying.  And Evan was whining because he could see me and I wasn't holding him.  I told Scott that it was his turn as I took one for the team last year.  Instead of two smiling kids, we have one smiling Daddy and two little zombie kids!  And as soon as we were done she was back to waving to the bunny.  Oh well, there is always next year!  {In her defense, could they make the Easter Bunny look any creepier?  And she was way past lunch and a nap!}


Then it was off to Matt and Anna's for a crawfish boil and egg hunt!

Filling her basket!

Mason stealing helping Brynn with her eggs!  :)

The crawfish.

{3 of the 4 of us didn't partake...I bet you can guess who did eat them!}  :)

Sunday morning we woke up and Brynn found her Easter basket.  She likes the Easter bunny now!  We ate breakfast and headed up to my Mom's and enjoyed going to Easter service and then back to my Mom's for a yummy Easter lunch.  Brynn dined on salad, broccoli, ham, and apple pie!  Aside from the dessert....are we sure this is our child??

 We hope you all had a fabulous and blessed Easter with your loved ones!

{And hopefully the Easter bunny treated you well.}

9 months

Seriously y'all, where have the last 9 months gone?  I mean in just 3 short months we will be celebrating the little man's birthday.  And well, that just doesn't seem possible!

We had his check up today and he is now 19 pounds 13 ounces {45th %ile}, 28 3/4 tall {75 %ile} and his head is 47 1/2 cm {95 %ile}.  Again, big brains hun!  No shots for the lucky little guy this time, just a finger prick to check his iron levels.  Easy peasy!  Next appointment isn't until 1 year.

Evan is all over the place!!!  He isn't officially crawling, but he is quick.  He is basically doing an army crawl...ya know where he is using his upper body to pull him along.  He never really lifts his tummy off the ground.  I will set the little mover down on the rug in the living room and before I know it he has made his way to the kitchen to see me!  Doesn't that mean when he figures out the whole crawling thing he will be even faster???  When we try to change his diaper he doesn't want to stop, so he is eager to get away as fast as possible.  Proof.....

 See?  I couldn't even get a new diaper on him before he was off!

Evan is waving hi and bye-bye and saying "mamama", "dadada" and "bababa"!  And he gives sweet slobbery kisses...one of the best kinds of kisses!  He is eating 3 meals of solid foods and 4 bottles a day.  Overall, he is a healthy and happy little guy!!

We hope everyone has a Hoppy Easter!!

Evan waves bye-bye!

How cute is that?  

He had done it for me a few days before, but I kind of thought it was a fluke.  So as Scott was leaving for work we decided to see if he would do it again.  And he did!  I'm not sure I'm ready for him to be getting so big!

We have an escapee

About 2 weeks ago Brynn figured out how to open doors.  She had done it previously, but only when we were right there.  Now...she likes to do it when she wakes up in the middle of the night, or when she doesn't want to go to sleep at night, or to let Rocky out in the garage.  Yeah, it has been a fun few weeks around here.  I was hoping the novelty would wear off, but so far, no luck!  I especially love the 4 am wake up with a baby being shoved in my face and Brynn saying "Mommy see me!"  Good times!

We are working on finding a solution so our little door opener stays put!

Tooth number 15

Brynn's bottom right canine peeked through on Saturday and you wouldn't have known from her behavior!  She wasn't cranky or anything and I only saw it because I asked her to open wide so I could brush her teeth.  We are almost done with teeth for awhile...although I  hear the 2 year molars are brutal.
