Oh Sunny Easter...

For the most part, Easter day was pretty uneventful.  Church was amazing and the mini Easter carnival was great fun.  But after those quick festivities, we had a very relaxing day at home.  Meme bought us a grill!! Woohoo!!  So we grilled hotdogs (Nathans of course) and played outside in the beautiful sunshine.  Phia LOVES being outdoors, as you can see.  Autumn was sleepy but really enjoying the fresh air and special time with daddy.  Here are a few snap shots of the day :)

Brian's replica...only more adorable!!

What can I say? she's my sweet Autumn Joy...

She certainly has spunk like that of a boy...

She's crawling, she's babbling, she's eating like mad...

She's crazy, she's BUMPA!!, she's just like her dad  :0)

I thought we left the white stuff behind?!?!...

Well much to my dismay, it snowed a little over a week ago.  Of course, now being a "southerner" I was not too thrilled (but Sophia sure had fun!).  As school principles panicked, businesses shut down and grocery stores were packed with crazed hillbillies, I enjoyed a warm cup of cocoa and a small backyard adventure with one enthusiastic two year old.  

                                       

Oh Buuuumpa....

So my little munchkin has now fully surpassed all of my wildest dreams. She eats WHATEVER I put in front of her chubby little face. I should say, rather, that she attacks and devours all foods...haha I am thrilled beyond belief that the Lord has rewarded my struggles with picky little princess Sophia and given me a child of great ease and flexibility (in the food department at least!!) Here are a few pictures of bumpa chowing down. (And just to give you a sample of her new eating habits, today in total she ate all of the following...)

Cheerios
Half a Bagel
Banana slices
Puffs
Veggie Cheese Doodles
5 Mini Meat and Veggie Raviolis
1 1/2 Chicken Nuggets
Chicken and Stars Gerber Graduate soup
Half a Pancake
AND 4 bottles totaling 12 oz of whole milk and 12 oz of formula
(at least that is all I can remember...)

GOOOOODNESS CHILD! :)

A New Addition...
