Sleeping Nate

I don't need no paci. I don't need no sleep sac nor a swaddler. Just put me on my tummy and leave me alone.

Awake Nate

Nate is having more awake time. About an hour (including his feeding time). Our routine the past day or so has been to eat and then "play" on his mat for about 15 minutes or until he starts yawning/fussing. Then it is off to the old pack-n-play for a 2 hour nap. This afternoon Streed got on the bed with him and was talking to him. I heard him say, "hey baby nate. peek-a-boo."

Another Hand-Me-Down

Yesterday Ella wore my old Easter dress. My mom took a smocking class and made me this dress when I was three. Nate was sleeping while I was taking these pictures. I basically scooped him up right before we left for church. I am sure it won't be long before he too is a part of their photo shoots.

Easter Bunnies

These were Ella's ears last Easter. She loves to share with Taylor.

Sweet Nathan

Here is the sweetest baby. He sleeps ALOT and rarely cries. The kids love him.

Time with Nana

Chip's mom came and helped us out for a week. She did lots of fun stuff with the older kids like coloring eggs, painting a bird house and playing in the yard. Here they are painting the bird house...and Ella's face.

Bubbles

Ella blowing bubbles. She looks cute in all she does.

Look Close and Look Quick

Nathan has started opening his eyes a LITTLE bit more. They are looking bright blue like Streed's.

Easter Egg Hunt

Last Saturday our church had an Easter Egg Hunt at a park in town. It was a gorgeous day. Ella had her hair up all week while Chip's mom was here. Chip later said he didn't like it b/c he couldn't see her curls. I don't know what was wrong with Streed in the picture of us. He perked up once the hunt began. Ella was enjoying her corn dog.
