Easter 2012

Well Augusta's first Easter has come and gone, but I have to say it was a great one. And I think she would agree with me on that!

We woke up and gave the baby girl her Easter basket. She was so sweet reaching in for her little bunny rabbit. She also enjoyed playing with her eggs.

Then after an uplifting church services with our families, we had a little downtime before the first Easter gathering. So of course, my loves took a nap! We also snapped some pics bc Miss Augusta Kate was looking exceptionally gorgeous in her Easter best and Mommy had to document!

My favorites!

Then it was off for a get together with some of Chase's family. We had a great Easter lunch, and enjoyed everyone's company. We even had a egg hunt for the kiddies, but Augusta was too tired to participate. I think seeing everyone wore the baby out bc she had a good afternoon nap when she finally went down. I hate she missed hunting eggs on her first Easter, but hey, next year she'll actually know what's going on and get to have fun with it so no worries. I'll take the snuggle time while I can get it!

After that it was back home for a little more rest before we went out to my parents' house for dinner. It was fun having most of the family together, but we did miss Aunt Lys! No more being away on holidays! Deal?

The best part of Easter was being able to thank our Lord for sending his son to suffer and die for us. What a gift it truly is that he has forgiven us for all our faults. I cannot wait till Augusta is a little older and we can really share the great message of Easter with her, and have her begin to understand what a blessed God we serve!

Four Months Old

Who can believe its been four months since this little blessing entered our lives?!? I surely can't. People always say time flies, well you never really know the meaning of that expression until you become a parent. Trust me, it takes on a whole new meaning! So happy four months to my sweet, sweet Augusta Kate! There is nothing better than waking up to your beautiful smiling face, Lovie!

This past month has been a big one for Augusta. She started laughing! It is the most precious sound you can imagine! I love it when she giggles and throws in some squeals, makes everything so worth it! My big girl is now also able to roll over! Yesterday was the first time she did it, but it won't be the last! Only more movement to come from this wiggle worm! She was Reaching for things last month, but now shes really grabbing them. And they go straight to her mouth! She's also started staying awake longer during the day, and sleeping longer stretches at night!

She's still loving being outside, and especially strolling around. She's also decided she's not completely into her paci. It's a love/hate relationship! Ha! She is very into her Sophie the Giraffe though, and also being read or sang to. But her favorite things are her hands! They are in her mouth constantly...guess they must taste pretty yummy!

Here are a few pics of the sweet girl from the past month!
