Easter Morning

Here's a few pictures from Easter Morning!!

I especially like the one of Julianna looking at her lamb. So sweet!! She really does love all animals - stuffed or real. (Wonder where she gets that from??)

Egg Hunt Time

Julianna went to her first egg hunt today. She knew exactly what to do. She headed out into the field carrying her little bucket. She was happy to pick up the first eggs she saw and drop them into the basket. Except this was a special egg hunt. Each parent brought 12 filled eggs for their child and the eggs were LABELED with the kid's name. Julianna didn't care. She picked up all she saw. It was MY job to casually toss all the eggs BACK out that were not labeled for her. She ended up with 2 of her own. Thank goodness the big kids also picked up hers!!

Having Fun at Gymboree

I've started taking Julianna to a Gymboree play class once a week. She loves it!!! When you ask her if she wants to go she makes her "Yes!" sound. She is not quite saying yes or no yet, but she sure has her own sound for either. For no, she shakes her head no and adds a certain squeal to it. You can ask her anything and get a yes or no answer.

Anyway, back to Gymboree. She loves the music, the slides, and the bubbles!!

New Panda PJ's

I found these cute panda pj's at Babies R Us. So Cute!!

Dancing to the Music

Julianna loves to dance. She turns her CD player on, and she loves to press the button on her fridge farm music. You can often see her standing in the kitchen swaying to the tune of "Old MacDonald". We love the fridge toy (thanks Georgette for telling us about this cute thing). The only downfall is that we find animal "behinds" all over the house.

Warm Weather Means a Trip to the Zoo

We had some nice weather this past week. After Julianna woke up from her nap on Wednesday, we hopped in the van and drove to the zoo. It was Julianna's 2nd trip, so she remembered seeing some of the things there. She likes to ride the train and see the barnyard animals. I think she liked the pig the best!! ( I wonder where she got that from) There is one pig there that really reminds us of Ziggy. This pig is a bit bigger than Zig was, but still that same potbellied way. He comes to us when we call him over.

Finally... A Nice Day to Play

We finally had a good day to be outside. This has really been a long, cold winter. The girls had fun in the backyard. Julianna has really taken to the slide. Caroline gave her a ride in the wheelbarrow too.
