Our Week

Peek-a-boo fingers is a fun new game at our house this week.

Not so new but documented well this week, Baby Beluga is all about books.

Someone decided she wants to skip crawling and just focus on standing and walking. 

Bought a new sunhat for Baby Beluga this week. Now we are ready for summer! She was in charge of giving Aunt M a massage the other day. She did a great job. Meanwhile, Big Sis has been wearing her new bike helmet. 

Today we had a picnic lunch at the park. There were lots of people and kites. 

Big Sis did some people watching.

If you don't want to read your books right away, they also make a great bed. Big Sis will come over after a while and say "These are the grown up girl books." We are still working on teaching her that she is getting bigger but she's still a kid. 

Easter and General Conference

Things we've been up to the end of March and the beginning of April.

Took pictures in a field of blue bonnets. 

We dyed our Easter eggs on the Saturday before Easter and enjoyed them with Handsome at his work on Monday as egg-salad sandwiches. Yum!

 

We celebrated the Resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, on Easter Sunday. Our family basket had our first set of Scripture Scouts, our first subscription to The Friend magazine, and this years edition of our Family Faces Book. I think I may have been more excited about all of this than Big Sis and Baby Beluga.

 

 

We did an egg hunt for our Family Home Evening the Monday after Easter and Big Sis really enjoyed finding all the eggs and eating all the candy. We had a number in each egg that corresponded to a picture of the Savior to teach about the events leading up to His death and resurrection, but I think the candy may have been too distracting...

And this weekend we listened to our living prophets and apostles during General Conference. In between the 2 Saturday sessions we went to a book sale at the library. During the last session, as we were getting a little restless, we made a temple out of our play-doh. Big Sis told me, regarding the flowers on the grounds, "actually they are alive."

 

And Baby Beluga turned 9 months old! She's been outside the womb longer than inside and boy, is she all about moving around. Today she was really working on balancing on her hands and knees. She can almost get herself back into sitting position.

We watched our garden grow some more, and harvested our first round of spinach!

We did some water coloring on the coloring book Grama T and Grampa A gave Big Sis for Christmas.

And practiced buttoning buttons.
