Easter 2012






We had a fabulous Easter weekend! We had great weather, got some yard work done, grocery shopping done, colored eggs and enjoyed Easter dinner with Jason, Nicole & Olivia.
This year was really the first year Elli I think 100% understood what easter egg hunting was all about. The Easter bunny came in the middle of the night and hid eggs. When Elli got up she was SOOOO excited. She woke up and then came to wake Ryan and up very surprised with all the eggs and the Easter basket! It was cute. For Easter dinner we enjoyed the company of Jason, Nicole & Olivia. Elli and Olivia had so much fun playing. The guys watched the Masters and the ladies just chatted. I made ham, scalloped potatoes, corn, asparagus & roll. Nicole brought some deviled eggs & cupcakes. It was yummy.
This past week Dexter had his 5 month birthday. Crazy how quickly time flies (I feel I say that in every post). He is still a happy fella. As many of you know he spits up A LOT. I have been trying all sorts of formula but none seem to help much. I have settled on Gerber's PROTECT Good Start for now. Seems to be a little less spit up but the doctors don't seem to be worried since he is gaining weight, happy and pretty much comfortable. He is super active with wiggling his arms and legs and scooting. He is very strong but isn't yet sitting up on his own. He has rolled over each way a few times but doesn't seem to interested in doing it consistantly. He is eating rice ceral along w/ fruits & veggies at night. I believe any day now he will have his two front teeth along with the two bottom teeth next to his front bottom. All four areas are very swollen and pink. He is drooling lots and has rosie cheeks. He is super super happy of course. I am very lucky! Both Elli and him are great kids! Enjoy the Easter pics. Cna't believe we got Elli into a dress, earrings in and a hair barrett in! WAHOO!
