On Thursday we went to the playgroup Easter party at Caroline's. The kids had a blast and Caroline went out of her way to make it a wonderful party. After the party we visited Lawson. On Friday I went to visit Lawson again and had lunch with the Carvilles. Since Peter was off and stayed with B I got to spend some quality time with Lawson--she's so tiny and sweet. On Friday afternoon P, B, and I went to do a bunch of errands--I think that was my downfall--we walked a lot. We went to dinner at Crazy Johnnie's. P and B split a steak and I ate a stuffed artichoke and salad. On Saturday we went to Gumbo's for our annual day before Easter crawfish boil. I spent the whole time lying down in Gumbo's room while B ate a tray full of crawfish and corn on the cob. I got up in time to watch the Easter egg hunt and B ate a bunch of chocolate eggs. Yesterday P and B woke up at 8. I was up at 7 with the camera and video camera ready to capture B's reaction to the Easter Bunny's visit. B was a bit nervous at first--just like on Christmas morning--but soon she dove into her basket. Marme, the sisters, the boys, and baby Lawson came over for breakfast. It was Lawson's first outing and she was so good! Since I wasn't feeling well P and B went to Vacherie without me. Peter said she ran around all day with her cousin Charlie.
B has been doing lots of great tricks lately and saying lots of cute things. I gave B some chicken for dinner a few nights ago then I brought her some peas. She looked at the peas and said "boos"--that's what she calls a spoon. I brought her a spoon and she ate her peas with it and did a great job. She's such a big girl! Whenever I put on lotion B will come up to me and say "keem" (cream) and I'll give her a dab. On Saturday she came up to me and said "gimme keem." I've been talking to B about colors using her crayons. I held up a brown crayon and said, "what color is this?" and she said, "meat." Later I was drawing shapes and I drew a box using the brown crayon and asked what it was and again she said meat.
B is now starting to say Marme, Attie, and cookie instead of Maw-Maw, Adda, and cook cook.
B always hands me a crayon or the pen on her Doodle Pro and says "bunny" or "meow" so that I'll draw bunnies, cats, and other things for her. I'll draw things and she tells me what they are. She recognizes the letters B and E, stars, moons, hearts, and circles. Now whenever she sees a bunny she says "hop hop" and then Saturday she started saying "hoppity hoppity" when she sees a bunny. She has had this music box that projects animals on the ceiling for a while, but she's really into it now and is starting to name the animals "mon-KEY," zebra, hippo, and "ella."
She loves Mickey Mouse and can name most of the characters and she loves Little Einsteins on Disney and constantly asks for "Eye-dyes" (Einsteins).
Whenever she hears music she starts to dance. She has a few signature moves--waving her arms, shaking her booty, jumping, clapping, and trying to snap.
When I give her anything to eat she'll say "hot" and wave her hand and blow on it--even if it's ice cold.
Lately when I ask her who is in my belly she turns her head and walks away or ignores me. Yikes.
She is starting to put together little sentences like "mamma, sit, lap, read" or "eat cookie."
This morning B was so snuggly and would say "mama" then give me a kiss then "dada" and give P a kiss. Then she would giggle and say "kiss."
Yesterday I gave her something and said "what do you say?" and she said "ta ta." My girl is learning her manners.
Ok, I just wanted to get this all down. Eventually I will put it all in her baby book.
Here are some pics from Thursday and some that Gumbo took on Saturday. I need to upload my Easter weekend pics.
