Happy Easter!

A week later, not to bad.  We had a wonderful Easter.  Hannah and Eli are really starting to understand the true meaning of Easter.  We did many more things this year that were all age appropriate to help them with understanding what Jesus did for us and how unbelievably wonderful he is.  I think walking into church on Good Friday was a huge eye opener for them.  Our church treats it like a funeral, people were dressed in black, no lights on, and very quiet. They asked many questions after leaving.
Coloring eggs was on the agenda for Saturday.  Bonus, it was nice enough to do it outside, better lightening and easier clean up.  I wanted to do something different this year.  They are too old to just dip them in color, but still young enough to make it fun for them.  I found something on Pinterest using a baking soda and water "paint."

They would paint on the egg the color they wanted to use.  Then they would drop a few drops of whatever food coloring color they wanted to use.  Finally, they would take a syringe full of vinegar and put it on their egg.  Voila!  You have a bubbling egg!  They really enjoyed this.  Will have to make more than 12 eggs next year!

The Easter Bunny hid baskets and they were blurs of madness trying to find theirs.  Daddy helped Reece find his.  Big boy cups and spoons!

After baskets were found an promptly dumped, the mad dash to find the most eggs hidden around the house began!

He just liked eating the empty egg :)

And then super cute pictures of everyone all dressed up ready for church.  What a wonderful day, message at church, and reason to celebrate!

6 Months

Hard to believe our little guy is 6 months old. I know I say that every month, but I just can't believe 6 months have gone by already.

His personality it starting to come out. He is a bit shy and reserved. Very serious so much of the time.

He got an exesaucer this last month. He loves this toy! Loves to jump when we are holding him, and now he can do that when he plays.

He has figured out how to roll from his back to his belly.  He loves to challenge us now when it's time to get dressed or change a diaper :)
The only downfall of this new trick is that he has forgotten that he knew how to roll from tummy to back, he lets us know when he's done playing on his tummy now.  Mom, Dad, Hannah, or Eli will rescue him when he's ready to be flipped.

Mismatch day at school! (PS, we LOVE Duck Dynasty at our house!)

New Milestones:
rolling from back to tummy
jumping when being held
a little more time playing on own

Things he loves:
the exesaucer
books, storytime with Hannah and Eli before bed
links, rubber blocks, swinging his paci around

Things he does not like:
taking a pumped bottle from grandma (no problems from Daddy)
napping for longer than 30 or 40 minutes
