Ivy

Sorry to keep her Grandparents waiting!

Here are a few pictures of Ivy.  Once we got home Noelle was much more excited about her.  She keeps patting her tummy saying "k" (Noelle speak:  "you are going to be okay").

Easter Morning

We had a fun Easter morning with Noelle.   It was hard getting her to smile she was so distracted.  She got a special surprise princess outfit and an Easter book from Grandma Karen and Grandpa Larry.  Here's her eating all her jelly beans (Starburst jelly beans of course--best kind out there).   

It was cute watching her look for her basket (she's been toting it around all week), the video clip is a little long but grandparents might enjoy it.

Afterwards we all got dressed up to get some Easter pictures.  

This is the dress I made for Noelle for Easter (and to wear to Aunt Christine's wedding).  

It's getting harder to get Noelle to smile for the camera.  We'll take what we can get :)

Here's my 38 week tummy if anyone cares.  I don't think there is anymore room inside me, so good thing she will be joining us soon!

After pictures Noelle wanted to be back in her princess outfit (which worked out because mom didn't want her in her new Easter dress for lunch.  Pizza sauce + new dress is no fun).

Notice how well she is looking at the camera (not!).  She was so enamored with her fancy outfit she couldn't hold still or look at me.  Below she is spinning like a princess with her fairy wand.

We have been practicing a question with Noelle due to an upcoming event.  


Here's a little clip:

Hunting

Noelle went on her first hunt this morning!  Easter egg hunt :) 

All the kids did really well about letting others get some eggs too.  We went with our little play group.

Notice how often Noelle would look at the camera.  Never.  She was too focused on the prize.

Once the hunt was over Noelle was eager to open all her eggs.  It appears she doesn't like the  robin eggs because she'd take a bite out of each one and spit it out (I was too slow to snag them for myself).  Noelle did find some other candy she liked and enjoyed eating those.
