Happy Easter!

Jason loved playing in the "cool" with Anya and Jonah.

See what I mean? This is days after the trip up north. Jason found his swim trunks and tried to put them on so he could go swimming with Anya and Jonah.

He loves the book, "Green Eggs and Ham"

Rosie is a girl that knows what she doesn't want...

and also knows what she does want.

Getting so good she doesn't even look any more.

This is what "nap time" looks like for Jason these days.

Spring Break in the Northeast

Sad circumstances brought us north over Spring Break, but it was so good to see family.

Jason having a blast in the "cool" with Jonah.

Two future partners in crime.

What everyone does at Grandma's...eat.

In every home, Rosie will find your pots and pans.

Everybody loves the rocking chair.

Watching "Beauty and the Beast" at Nana's. Rosie loves clutching her dolls.

Jason getting some reading in with Grandma and Pop Pop.

Two adorable girls.

Jason and Rosie loved playing with Anya, Jonah, and Norah.

Back in NC, Rosie pulled up a chair to watch Baba, Mommy, and Jason play in the back yard.

Enjoying the new furniture in the porch.

Playing Under the Crib

Sorry for the Delay

Two favorite reading spots. 

Rosie's hair is getting really curly.

Starting to enjoy a little time in the porch.

Once again finding a nice place to rest. Jason, on the other hand, ran in circles for 10 minutes.

"Careful blocks."

Crawling across the table to get some raisins that Jason didn't finish.

Clearly Baba was in charge as Rosie climbed on almost every high surface in the house.

Getting ready for a trip to Home Goods with Grandma Bates.

Got so excited about the adjustments to his crab that he actually wanted to go to bed...for about 5 seconds. Jason finally made the leap and climbed out of his crib. It actually happened during "nap time". Lauren was cleaning the bathroom and didn't hear anything. Jason climbs out. Does he go and find Mommy? Of course not. He just walks downstairs and starts playing. Lauren eventually hears some movement in the house. She walks downstairs to see Buddy coloring in the play room.

First really warm day of the year. Rosie is really starting to pick up speed.

Playing with "Clue" figurines. See if you can figure out what he is doing with them before the end.

Here's to #2

Rosie likes be on her perch to read.

She is often drawn to Peter Rabbit for some reason.

Apparently reading is fun.

Enjoying his haul after going #2 in the toilet!

Playing with Mom's hair to help her fall asleep.

Rose being Rose.

Getting pretty good at going down stairs.

Not a fan of the paprazzi.

Not sure who's happier--Jason or Mom and Dad.

Next Generation of Shifty

Uncle Bud couldn't be prouder.

I stand corrected.

Rosie Holding Her Own

Rosie beating up on Jason.

Actually, he's just reacting to the flash.

After taking a few pictures of them, Jason got up and said, "Scooter's turn."

"Dino's turn."

"Rabbit's turn."

"Sheep's turn."

Rosie has picked up a few tricks from Jason. That's what he gets for doing this to me and Mommy (usually with hugs and kisses) all the time. Buddy's faces are hilarious.

"I have a turn? Have it first?" Rosie is so pleased with herself.

You play with fire long enough and you will get burned. "Thankome. Thankome."
