Horses and Bunnies

A few weekends ago Ethan's hippo therapy session was switched to a Saturday,

so everyone got to come and watch him ride...

which meant I had my hands free to take some pictures!

Here he is telling Hamilton to "GO"

Ms. Ellen made sure to involve YaYa in the session --

here is Ethan handing her the stuffed horse

holding the bucket after he put his brush back in

Owen and Cara on the sidelines

Owen really loves Cara's hair

loves PULLING IT, that is...

After hippo therapy, we headed to the mall for some walking practice

and happened to run into the Easter Bunny.

Ethan wouldn't sit on his lap,

but he would have stood there watching him forever if we'd let him

Wedding Weekend

Congratulations Aunt Jenny and Uncle Kevin!

Happy Spring

We got ourselves nice and ready

put on our mommy's sunglasses

and headed for Rita's free Italian Ice day

we waited patiently in a very long line

for this sweet yummy goodness

to celebrate

the first

day of spring

A Month in Pictures

(and a few words)

In the past month we've...

spent a week and a half sick, laying on the couch, practicing our pucker face

and waiting for our brother to feel better

practiced standing with daddy

showed lots of smiles, despite our first ear infection

ate our VERY FIRST bank sucker

(Bank Sucker: the sucker I used to decline when the bank teller offered because my son wasn't able to eat it...then he could, but needed help holding it...and now can eat ALL BY HIMSELF in the backseat while I'm driving!)

practiced sitting in our big-boy-high-chair

made it known that we DID NOT like rice cereal,

but really enjoyed eating our fingers

played dress-up with the hat our big brother made at school

let mommy take pictures of our feet with her new camera

learned to eat daddy's nose

had a picnic in the yard

went on a few walks in the neighborhood

(and yes, we made sure to bring Abby along)

spent A LOT of time chewing on Sophie

wore this cool new coral shirt mommy picked up

at one of her many spring consignment sales

learned to play with our toes

laid on the front porch naked, like a beached whale

(and yes, as you can see by the bandaid on the leg...got our first vaccination)

played with our toes some more - we have become a pro at this, by the way

smiled some more for mommy's new camera

took advantage of the warm weather and

spent some more naked time on the front porch

played in our playroom

(if you are a physical therapist and you are reading this blog...please ignore the W sitting)

ate the letter "o" with mommy

learned to grab at anything coming our way

and though we were sad we didn't get to wear the cute snowsuit and winter hats this year,

we decided we could really

really

really get used to playing outside in this beautiful spring weather
