Amelia met her first boyfriend this morning. Chase was born yesterday morning and is as cute as can be! Don't they both look so excited to meet each other?
Congratulations Christi, Brian and big sis Maddie!
Evidently last night was just a warmup. This morning at daycare when Ainsley's teachers announced it was time to go outside she knew eggs-actly what was up. She immediately took off and got out the door about 4 kids and 3 moms in front of me and went to work filling her basket.
Dustin braved the crazies at The Colony's Easter Egg Hunt this evening with Ainsley. He said she picked up the concept fairly quickly and came away with 8 eggs! No prize eggs, but she still had fun opening them up and pulling the candy out. She also was brave enough to give the State Farm Neigh-bear a high five. I guess the Easter Bunny hasn't permanately scarred her from liking big furry animals forever. However, I don't think she would have sat on his lap given the opportunity. Tomorrow she has an Easter egg hunt at daycare and I'm going to try to make it to take pictures.
(For those of you who don't live around here, notice how brown the sky looks in the pictures. That's from the wild fires west of here. I've only seen it liks this one other time when there was a grass fire north of us, but it wasn't this brown from what I remember. It was actually a beautiful blue sky day before this moved in.)
She's been working hard and has some skills to show off now! And she does NOT want our help. She kept her clothes clean the entire meal until she turned to see her daddy. Oh well!
Amelia still loves to be swaddled. Ainsley was well over it by this point. We had to go buy Amelia a larger swaddle because we can barely squeeze her in this small one.
Ainsley and Amelia visited the Easter Bunny today. Amelia was very laid back throughout the whole ordeal. Ainsley on the other hand smiled and waved at the bunny while we waited and then freaked out the second we got near him. Mommy giving him a hug and petting his ears didn't help. Notice she's trying to escape in the picture.
It was too cold and windy today to play outside, so Ainsley played in the play area at the mall. She really liked sitting in the coffee cup and gave another little girl a very stern, "No!" when she tried climbing up into the cup with her. Bossy! Bossy!
