"I Said A Hip, Hop..."

...the hippie, the hippie. To the hip hip hop, you don't stop the rock it to the bang-bang, boogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat..."

Happy Easter!

We hope that everyone had a fun and Spring weather filled Easter weekend. We had a great time in our household. The Easter Bunny brought some new toys for Bailey and some treats that are mostly for Trevor and I.  She took her official first steps over the last week so we are hoping we can encourage more of that. She is standing more and continues to walk along everything - if we can just convince her to walk unassisted we will be golden. She also does great while holding just one of my hands. I am sure it will happen soon enough and I will regret encouraging her to do it. Ha! She also is starting to play like a big kid - sitting at a Lego table or playing with trains (see below) - it's crazy that she is 16 months old. Time is flying, but we are loving everyday. She does have her 13th tooth coming in - so she is an overachiever in that field.

We recently went to my cousins new house (we are more then a little jealous of their house and phenomenal yard) and Bailey got to play with their fabulous dog Will Rogers. She loves animals - sometimes not as softly as we would like, but we are doing our best to teach her and make sure that Storm also survives her "loves" and "big hugs." So far no scratches or big bites - on either side.

We finally retired her infant car seat and purchased a new toddler car seat. With the new rules she is supposed to continue to be rear facing for a while longer, but she is loving her new car seat. When we do finally turn her around it will be a whole new world for her. With the improved weather we have been out and about a little more and look forward to more adventures in the coming weeks and months. (Before it gets too hot for me and I must stay somewhere air conditioned as much as possible). We are excited that Trevor's parents are coming this weekend and I am sure we will have photos and stories to share soon. Happy Trails!
