Hoppy Easter!

We had a nice little Easter at home this year. I didn't really think Attia would be too into the Easter bunny and egg hunt stuff yet so I didn't plan much, but as usual she surprised me!

We started our day off with some good old hard boiled eggs, which Attia LOVED! After the day warmed up a little the Easter bunny came by and hid a couple of golden eggs so that Attia could have a mini egg hunt. I thought this would consist mainly of mommy finding and opening eggs for her, but as soon as we stepped out the door she spotted her first egg and made a beeline for it!

And what was inside? M&Ms! Yum! That was enough incentive to look for more of those eggs!

She brought each of her eggs back to daddy on the porch, and then she spotted her easter basket. She speed crawled right over and excitedly pulled out her goodies. What fun!

Little bunny nerf shooters! Oh boy!

The beautiful weather made for some nice family time outside, and all-in-all we had a lovely little Easter here at the Elser house. 

Attia's Second Month

1 Month Old
April 1, 2011

       By the beginning of the second month we were still very sleep deprived, but things were starting to feel more 'normal.' Maybe not what normal used to be, but a new normal. We were starting to get into a nice little routine. Austin had been back at work for a while (he stayed home with us those first two weeks), and I was enjoying maternity leave and the time that it gave me to bond with Atti and go to mommy/baby groups. She continued to put on weight at a quick and steady pace and had many 'first' experiences during her second month of life. She went to her first bike race, celebrated her first Easter and rolled over for the first time (a feat which is yet to be repeated).

Here is a photo re-cap of Attia's second month:

Attia's First Easter

I thought we would change a diaper, but she had other ideas.  (She'll thank me for the black spot later)
