Easter!!

Yay for your very first Easter! We been having so much fun this Easter season! We started it all off with a trip to the Easter Bunny! Now for some reason your Daddy has some strange fear of the Easter Bunny and was convinced that you would not enjoy sitting on the bunny's lap one bit but Mommy has fond memories of the Easter Bunny and decided that every baby needs to see the Easter Bunny on their first Easter! So off to the mall we went! Mommy was so excited but in the back of my mind was just hoping that you wouldn't freak out at the site of a giant bunny! So there we were in line for the Easter Bunny and Mimi is holding you while we wait and the little girl in front of us has a meltdown at the site of the bunny! Oh dear thought Mommy this is not going to be good....so here comes our turn and Mommy puts you on the bunny's lap and waits for the meltdown and low and behold you L-O-V-E the Easter Bunny!!! I mean you are lovin it! Just a sitting on his lap and smiling! People passing by even stop and comment how happy you are! Mommy and Mimi were so happy!! First Easter Bunny picture a smashing success!!




Meanwhile you have had SIX teeth coming in at the same time!! Oh my goodness love you have been such a trooper! You now have four teeth on the bottom and four on top! You look like such a big boy! You have also become quite the talker and singer! You say "Momma" and "Da-Da" and "Ba-Ba" for your bottle! You also love to sing in the car! Mommy has so much fun riding along with you, one of you other favorite things to do is to wake up singing! Even though sometimes it is VERY early Mommy just smiles at the sound of your beautiful songs in the morning! Oh my goodness love you are doing such big things now! You can stand up all by yourself!! Pretty soon you will be walking I bet, soooo big!

Easter day was such fun love! The Easter Bunny came and filled your basket with lots of goodies, including your very own baby pool for the backyard! We met Mimi, Poppy, Uncle Pook, and Aunti Shanti at church on Easter morning and you were looking exceptionally cute in your Easter outfit! You were such an angel in church love! Just looking all around and smiling at everyone sitting around us! I think you were a bit of a distraction to some!! But a good distraction, who doesn't love a precious baby boy in knee socks?? After church we went back to Mimi and Poppy's house where you had another Easter basket with goodies!! The Easter Bunny also left a very fun walking toy for you so we can practice walking together! Well my love you were having such a fun time on Easter that you didn't even want to take a nap! I think you knew that your MawMaw and PawPaw were coming over and you just didn't want to miss anything! Needless to say you went to bed a bit early that night! All in all though a perfect Easter!!

So Long, Farewell...

Well my love we had to say goodbye to dear old friend today, your swing. Yes, it's true that fateful day has finally arrived where we had to bid adieu to a friend that has treated us both very well. To say it was an amicable breakup would be a reach, in fact a third party was involved. That party being your every gaining weight my friend. You were just too big for your swing! I know love, it makes Mommy so sad too! In fact Mommy may be taking it harder than anyone because that awesome swing provided Mommy the opportunity to shower in those precious few minutes of your morning cat nap. Mommy knew the day was coming, I kept looking up the maximum weight the swing could handle and yesterday it was if you knew this was the end because instead of your usual 15 minute nap you slept for an hour in your trusty and faithful friend! But today when Mommy put you in it, you leaned forward and so did the swing, and Mommy knew that was it for the swing! So Mommy put you in your pack and play to take a cat nap, oh my you were not happy! You looked at me like I was crazy! Needless to say a cat nap did not take place and the carpet is all wet around the pack and play where Mommy rushed over after jumping out of the shower to your very vocal misgivings! I guess this is just a sign of your sooooo bigness! Mommy will always look back on these past nine months with your swing with fondness, boy oh boy you loved to swing! But now we will be passing on the swing to another Grugett baby! Here is a look back on some fun times...
