Easter

Well, I was contemplating trying to “catch up”, but realized that is a lost cause!

So I’m just going to start again with this past weekend.

We had some gorgeous weather this past weekend. It was in the low 70’s so we spent a lot of time outside!

We got this great sand/water table at Costco a few weeks ago that we finally got put together. Carson had a great time with it…although kept catching him drinking the water…YUCK!

Saturday we dyed eggs with Carson. We were prepared for a huge mess, but he actually didn’t make much of a mess at all. He liked watching the little bubbles that formed on the eggs. When we took the eggs out, he thought her really need to “smash” them into the hole we were setting them to dry. I thought we were going to have instant egg salad a couple of times!

On Sunday, Carson got his Easter basket from the Easter Bunny and then did a little egg hunt in our living room. He actually did pretty good finding the eggs. We had to point him in the general direction a couple of times, but he did end up finding them all. Every time he found one he handed it to Dada to put in the “choo choo”.

Sunday he also helped me plant some seeds in the garden and we all went on a bike ride so he could wear his “helmee”.

It was a great weekend!

He also turned 18 months last Tuesday. He had his 18 month Dr. appt last Friday. He was 25lb 15oz and 32.5 inches tall and doing everything he should be at this age. He definitely keeps us entertained! He loves imitating everything we do, wants to “help” me cook all the time, helps daddy take out the garbage, and has new words every day. He’s starting to know his colors. He’s fixated on “lellow” and “boo” these days. He LOVES cars and especially the car that’s attached to the shopping cart at the grocery store. Everytime we get in the car to go somewhere we get “ca” like a broken record regardless of how many times we explain that we aren’t going to the grocery store. And he loves the train Papa and Nana got him for Christmas. He pushes it all over the house.

Last weekend Nana and Pap came to visit. Papa and and Dada went to Whiskies of the World in San Francisco on Saturday night. They had a great time and are already planning their trip next year. Nana, Carson, and I got to hang out while they were gone. Nana spotted a battery powered F1 Ferrari car at Tuesday Morning while we were doing a little shopping. Steve and I went back the next day and got it for him. It’s still a little big so, it’s being stored until he grows a few inches so he can reach the pedals…but he is going to love it!! then we had sushi for dinner…one of Carson’s favorite things!! He LOVES salmon and tuna nigiri. It was a great weekend!
