Happy Easter!

We enjoyed a trip to Des Moines to celebrate Easter with Ethan's family at his Aunts house. We stayed over night at a hotel so Maddy got to enjoy some swim time.


Gotta love those rolls!

We can't believe that Maddy is almost 1 year old! It's crazy how quickly time has passed and how big she has gotten. I recently put her is size 5 shoes and a toddler dress. Yeah, I wasn't kidding, she's gi-normous! She is also increasing in skillz! Here are some recent videos...

Maddy shaking it...

Maddy walking on her own...

Slurping noodles... (ps not a cool diaper change after that!)

"Swimming"...

"Jumping" into the pool... (she did much better the first two times, by the time I got my camera, I think she got cold)

She will also play ball with you, babbling a ton (no words), understands no (but doesn't always listen!), and getting into all sorts of trouble now that she's mobile. I went to the bathroom and when I came out there was dirt from the potted plant on the floor, her hands, and unfortunately her mouth. Ah, baby proofing. She's our crazy girl and we love her! Hope you enjoyed the videos, pics, and most importantly I hope you enjoyed your Easter.

Love
Liz

My kids an I love watching your videos. I think you and Ethan are so funny. It looks like you are having fun and loving parenthood. Maddy is a cutie. Peter even said so. Peter and Marie also like watching the dog, Lola, try to be part of the show. Keep having fun and sharing it all with us.
