Our little lady is already 4 months...I know that I say that every month, but I just can't believe how fast it is going and how BIG she is getting. I love it! I love watching her grow and learn new things. She is such a happy, smiley baby...just take one look at her and you will know why. Whenever someone takes a glance she is all SMILES!! I love her. She is almost sitting up by herself, is still only sleeping 3 hours at a time (that's pushing it sometimes) at night, LOVES to eat all the time, loves cuddles from anyone really, LOVES her Mommy, and is always watching everyone around her...especially Elle.
I am getting more and more excited about having my girls so close together. It is getting much easier as Paige is getting bigger, so I am now able to really enjoy that they are always going to be good friends. Paige loves Elle and Elle LOVES making Paige laugh and smile. She gets really excited when Paige sits up for a bit and when she plays with toys that she gives her. It's so fun to watch. I need to remember these special times that they have together...becuase I'm sure they will also have many "battles".haha.
As I'm writing this I am exhausted! Elle was such a stinker this evening while Jared was at work. Why do children feel the need to act differently when there Dad's are gone to work? I have had to deal with temper-tantrums, pee all over the top of her potty instead of opening the lid (she has never done this before), press play-do into the grooves of my hardwood floor, and hitting me in the face. I feel like she is purposely acting naughty!!! What do I do?? Jared keeps telling me that it's just a phase and she will "grow" out of it...he definitely has WAY more patience than I do.....I DO LOVE THAT LITTLE MONSTER THOUGH!!
I took it upon myself to re-instate the Easter Bunny Bag Hunt (I just named it right now...has a good ring to it, doesn't it??!!). We had so much fun. Everyone pooled all the candy that they brought together and then Karen hid all the bags. We looked everywhere. Some of the fun spots where: under the sink stapled to the top corner of the vanity, in a light fixture on the ceiling, at the back of a cupboard in the bottom of a blender, sealed in a can of potato pearls, and under the garbage bag in the garbage. It was hilarious watching people search. The little kids were also able to join in the search by looking for all the little chocolate eggs that we hid everywhere. Elle had so much fun and really got into the SEARCHING part of the adventure. haha. It's so fun that she is actually understanding the holidays now and is able to get really excited with us. She even saw the "Easter Bunny" jump across the road on the way to Gramma Baker's house.On Easter Sunday Elle woke up to goodies in her Easter basket....books and a little table for her and Paige to enjoy in the kitchen. She was really excited and had to eat her breakfast on it right away. It's perfect for her to draw at, play with play-do, and eat there. I can't wait for Paige to be big enough so that they can sit together. We went to Karen and Don's ward for the Easter program that Karen puts on every year. It was so amazing and the Spirit was so strong. I love Easter!! I am so thankful that we are able to celebrate this time of year and be grateful for all that was done for us.
