Stacie is 12, Mateo 8 months, Easter, and other randomness...

Happy 12th Birthday, Stacie! We celebrated her birthday early with family. I told her I would make her anything she wanted and she chose enchiladas. Abue brought Stacie's favorite rice and we had a nice dinner. We gave her Twilight on DVD (I've lost count how many times she's watched it) and a visa gift card to go on a shopping spree. Her Abue made her a beautiful knitted green blanket. Lime Green is her new favorite color this year. Can you tell??
Mateo's first trip to the park... I'm thinking he likes to swing...

Bathtime... those rings are his favorite toy. I thought they would be used to fasten toys to stroller or car seat...I never knew he would love those little rings so much by themself. I think it's because they are so easy to handle with his little hands and easy to chew on.

8 months old! We are loving this age. He is really getting a personality and is so much fun. He is just such a happy baby. We love him!

Chicks dig me...

He has recently started doing what we like to call "funny face". We smile at him and he pulls his neck back, raises his eyebrows, and gives us a big cheesy grin. It's hilarious.

Happy Easter! I thought he would be scared of the bunny...but he wasn't at all. He was happy to take his picture with him!

First Easter basket. He got a bunch of empty plastic eggs, his first toothbrush (to brush those 8 teeth he has now!), arrowroot cookies, and a cute yellow stuffed duck.

Easter Sunday...back from church...

Mommy and her Boy...

I finally finished Mateo's cross stitch!! Started when I was 7 or so months pregnant. Now that he's sleeping so good - I've had some time to finally get it done! It's all framed and ready to hang in his room. Isn't it sweet??

Our blue birds are back for the spring. Mom, can you tell me what kind of bird they are?
