Easter Fun!

Elsa had an egg packed Easter weekend.



On Saturday morning, on our morning walk, we saw a line of kids outside the Palo Alto toy store. We headed over and found out they were doing an egg hunt. Elsa got her free bucket and learned how to pick up eggs.



That afternoon, we headed out to Cuesta Park and Ally's Easter hunt. I enjoyed making a lemon Easter Bunny cake.



Elsa once again enjoyed picking up eggs (and playing with Daddy).



On Sunday morning, after a photo shoot with Arne's 'Foxy' Foxgloves that he planted from seed a year ago, we headed over to Karen & Pat Anderson's house for breakfast and Easter fun.



Morgan made Elsa her first Easter basket and then yes, another hunt.



On Sunday afternoon, we headed up to my Mom's house and Elsa got to pick up and play with the eggs my mom dyed for her. Elsa was the star of the family and so cute in her Easter dress from Auntie Amanda.

On Easter Monday, I headed out to Boston for work. Arne captured Elsa laughing on the swing for me. It was just another reminder of how lucky we are to have such a great baby girl.

Elsa April Adventures

April has been an amazing month for Elsa. She turned 9 months old and is now 18 and a half pounds and 28.5 inches long. She has her 2 bottom front teeth, but no top teeth yet.



Her weight gain has slowed down as she now feeds herself and does not like us to help her.





She does enjoy dinner with friends and we enjoy have other families over, like Gavin's family and Oliver's family.



This month she started waterbabies swim class. She has a lot of fun in the water and I have a lot of fun dressing her up in cute swim outfits!

Elsa is also learning. She learned from the dogs how to go out the dog door and has almost mastered coming back in. We finally captured this on video and will post a link soon.





Like her uncle Paul before her, Elsa has discovered toilet paper. It is the most fun to play with!



At daycare she had her first art show and both of the grandmas attended. She was quite the star with them.



Elsa continues to explore everything and it is a joy to watch her grow.
