Spring Break: Crazy Horse and more

Today has been a full, fun day! This morning we spent some time at the library and also went grocery shopping. After lunch and a nap we spent some time at the play area in the mall and out to dinner at a place called Crazy Horse. Mommy and Daddy had been told good things about Crazy Horse and decided to check it out. We all had a fun time and yummy food. Here I am after taking a bite out of Mommy's lemon. I made quite the face but went back for more!

New hobby

Sometimes I like to go in my crib just for fun and get all snuggled up under the covers. Mommy and Daddy say I'm pretty cute!

Spring Break!!

Yesterday Daddy started Spring Break! Yay! We have already had so much fun spending time together as a family! This morning I got to swing outside some more and while we were out there, Mommy took some pictures of the flowers coming up.She discovered the first few flowers on the Vinca.
Next, we all went to Sam's Club to buy batteries and wipes. We ate lunch there too and I discovered the perfect spot to sit.
Whoops. Don't worry, Mommy didn't push me around the store like that.

More play!

Mommy says, "This morning Lillian and I had some errands to run. On our way back, we drove past the mall and Lillian immediately started pointing, saying "play" repeatedly, and taking off her shoes. I decided since we had nowhere else we needed to be right then that we could stop and play. She was very glad!""During Lillian's naptime I got her swing out of storage to get ready to lend to a friend. I tried to keep Lillian away from our room, where it was hiding, but she caught sight of it and had to give it one last swing. I think she spent about 20 minutes in it!"
"Here she is kissing the turtle goodbye."

Big Sister Party!!

Tonight Mommy and Daddy let me open a special "Big Sister" present and we had a little party together.
They gave me a book called "I'm a Big Sister" and a special "Family, Feelings, and Fun" Signing Time DVD. We watched the video and read the book right away.
I think being a big sister will be fun!

Surprise visitors

Mommy says, "Our friends Jen and Bryan had to be in Holland this evening so we had an impromptu dinner date with them. Anna and Lillian had fun sitting across from each other as they ate and, as always, had a great time playing."

Play!

Mommy says, "Lillian was in a really good mood this morning. After grocery shopping she said she wanted to play, which often refers to going to the mall and visiting the play area. She had a great time!"
"She spent a good deal of time playing on the benches outside the play area too!""She also discovered a new fun spot."

The Lion King

Mommy says, "Last night Lillian had a sleepover with her grandma while Dan and I chaperoned a trip of 80 Hamilton students to see The Lion King. The show was great and everyone seemed to really enjoy it! Lillian also had a great time with her grandma and even got to go to church with her this morning! We are very grateful that my mom was able to watch her, since we didn't get home until after 1 am!"

Abbey's doctor

Today we took Abbey to her doctor. She has not been feeling very well and Mommy and Daddy wanted to make sure everything was okay. The doctor gave her some medicine that should make her feel all better again. I had fun playing at the vet's office!

The swing is back!

Mommy says, "Lillian has already been breaking her swing back in now that the weather has been a bit warmer! She loves it so much!""If you look closely you can see her slightly blue lips, not from the cold but from a sucker she got at Waukazoo!"

Baby boy bedding

Mommy says, "Today the bedding we ordered for our baby boy arrived! So exciting!"

Swimsuit shopping

Monday is usually our day to get groceries. Today we also made a special stop at Target to pick out a swimsuit for me. I had fun modeling them! Here I am in the "runner-up."
And the winner!

Future singer

Mommy says, "This morning all three of us went to church early so that Dan and I could practice with the worship team. We never know quite what to expect from Lillian during these practices; sometimes she wants to be held, other times she wants to play. Today she wanted to sing!""At one point I turned the microphone off while she was singing into it, but she immediately noticed and started saying 'help' repeatedly until I turned it back on!"

Shopping and baby shower

Mommy says, "This morning my friend Jen, Lillian, and I went to a Mom-2-Mom sale in town and got a few onesies for our baby boy."
"We also made a stop at Carter's and picked out an outfit for baby boy that was just too cute to pass up! Lillian enjoyed visiting the ducks one more time!"
"Later we went to a baby shower for our friends Jess and Peter, who are expecting their first baby in June!""I have heard of people making these diaper cakes for shower gifts, but this was my first time seeing one up close. Very impressive!"

Shower shopping

Mommy says we have a baby shower to go to tomorrow. Today she was wrapping the present we bought for it. But before she got a chance to do that, I had to test things out!
