At the zoo with my cousins...

We got to go to the zoo with Aunt Michelle and Isaiah and Ayla - what fun!

The highlight of the day...real live construction!

Honestly, how cute is that?

A day at the park...

70 and sunny. Got my hat, got my guitar shirt, got handfuls of wood chips...let's play!

Liking the birthday party scene...

Christopher got to go to his friend, Kai's, 3rd birthday party today. Sure, it was fun to play with the other kids, but the cupcake may have been the highlight.

Easter Egg Hunt

We got to do an Easter egg hunt at Aunt Michelle and Uncle Trevor's church today (which means we got to see Ayla and Isaiah, too - yeah!)...



It took him all of two seconds to get the concept and off he went, determined to collect every egg in his path...

Surveying the loot (and eating the first jelly bean of his life, which he liked)...

He didn't quite get the concept of this game, though - note the spoon in one hand and the egg in the other...

Arts and crafts at the end - what a fun day!

1st haircut

He wasn't so sure at first...
But then he realized it wasn't going to hurt, so he just sat there like a big boy...

No extra charge for the mohawk styling at the end...

Day at the Zoo...

I'm ready to go exploring...
Ooohhh...gorillas...

and giraffes (do you think they'd like a Nilla, too?)...

What's a day at the Zoo without some ice cream?

You can see the chocolate beginning to collect on his shirt (an ode to Aunt Val)....

So happy to have seen all those wild animals...

2nd Birthday Party!

A jam session to get the party started...

How many kids does it take to open one gift?
Mmmm...Nillas...my "aunt" Heather sure knows the way to my heart...
Singing to the birthday boy...
Almost figured out how to blow out the candles...
Chocolate icing everywhere...
Even aunt Meg got to be at the party (all the way from Illinois!)...
Some quiet Play-Doh time...
Goofin' around with Daddy...
If I sit on this balloon and try really hard, perhaps I can get it to make that loud POP noise...

Happy Birthday, Christopher! We love you!
