Easter Fun!



Well... it was kind of fun. Poor Dan was very sick, which meant we missed out on some of the Easter fun we had originally planned on. We weren't able to visit with family and participate in the fun Easter egg hunt on the farm, and we also missed out on a "date" a friend had offered free babysitting for. I am sure all will be made up in time, and Quincy was never the wiser. He had a great weekend just hanging out with mommy (daddy was too contagious!) It is so fun for us to watch the pure joy on his face! It is amazing the difference between now and just a few months ago at Christmas. At Christmas, he really could care less, and showed very little interest in all that was going on. This weekend, he was so excited for the small activities we participated in. My mom sent a sweet package full of Easter goodies, and he was so excited to open the box and all the gifts, giving the stuffed bunny rabbit "love" as he pulled it from the bag. Sunday morning a modestly stocked Easter basket awaited him. He peered into it and immediately smiled and removed the toys to play (no candy from the Easter bunny yet!). Later in the afternoon, after his nap, Daddy "hid" (more like randomly placed in obvious areas) Easter eggs full of crackers, raisins, and little cookies all around the living room. I had some serious doubts about how successful this would be. To my surprise, after I showed him what to do... he took right off, gathering all the eggs into his basket with very little prompting. Once all the eggs were gathered, then the fun was eating all the "treats" that were inside them. Our biggest surprise of the weekend however was when we blew bubbles from his Easter basket and without a moment of hesitation he began to exclaim "Bubble! Bubble!" We about died! He probably says this better than any other word, and we had no idea until now! Still, days later we blow bubbles just to hear him say it. It is one of the cutest things ever! He is such a smart boy! They even told us at his daycare that they are going to advance him to the next class because he is developing so quickly. He is still a little guy at only 20 lbs, but don't be deceived, he's a smart one! He is also waiving and saying "Hi!"... but only when HE feels like it. Another word he is getting the hang of (which is actually pretty helpful) is "More". He is growing so fast. Its really hard to believe.

Hopefully with my next blog we will ALL be healthy, and have more fun to tell you all about!
