You celebrated your first Easter

I love you Easter Bunny

I'm so crazy, you can't keep me still tonight mama (dress she wore for Easter)

You got a fun new toy from your aunt/uncle/cousins

eeek! so.many.buttons

Nana and Brad came over to hook up the new oven so you showed nana your new toys

Oh hey nana - just showing mom how to run this thing

We were able to squeeze in a few walks before the snow returned - yes, I said snow in April

Out for a stroll on April 4 and then we got several inches of snow :(

We met up with your cousins and nana for dinner and a movie

Hanging with nana and my cousins. Watching Finding Nemo

The stupid snow allowed mama to stay home from work 1 day

Mom I'm so happy you get to stay home from work today!

You became interested in mom and dad's food

What ya eatin there mama?

We went to Psycho Suzie's for a birthday lunch. You were there (in mom's belly) with the MN Bloggers last summer!

Leaving our mark at Psycho Suzie's

Mama fed you some solid foods on April 11

I'm ready!

Nom - that was good!

You can feed yourself a bottle...with some assitance

Look mom, I'm such a big girl!

Mommy likes: still very interested in mom's hair and necklaces, when mom sings and dances, when mom makes some cool noises with her mouth
Daddy likes: seeing him when he comes home from work - it is the highlight of everyone's day melts.my.heart times a million, watching sports with daddy, hearing daddy's voice on the phone when he's working. He tells you that he loves you and that you're pretty and you smile and hide your face - it is so precious!

I never knew how much fun it would be to have a little baby in our lives. You truly are such a blessing. We love to just watch you and make you giggle and see your reaction to anything that is new (usually met with a smile or giggle). You have such an amazing impact on everyone that you come in contact with. It honestly baffles me how many strangers will come up to us and admire you and tell us how lucky we are. I couldn't agree more. Every day I look forward to seeing you and holding you. Love you Bailey Rose!
