7 months

Reagan is growing so fast. She is 7 months in the picture. Reese thought it would be great to decorate her sister, and she was okay with it for a while.

Reag sits up well on her own so we sit her next to a toy basket and she will usually play for a long time. She isn't crawling yet, but I think she's close. She will roll all around and get to pretty much anything that she wants anyway. This girl is a sweet baby.

Pre-Easter Celebrations

The day before Easter here in Utah is almost always freezing cold or raining, or if we're really lucky...both. This year we had both. Yipee (said with much sarcasm.) Freezing cold in the morning and then rain later in the day.

We went to a city Easter egg hunt in the morning. The rotary club was nice enough to sponsor the event, and the whole football field was covered in candy. My girls look forward to Easter because they know they will get a crazy amount of candy, and they are right. They always do. (I give them the day before and Easter day to eat however much candy that they want, then they have to have a break completely so they don't get sick.)

Later in the day we went to my parents house and they had another Easter egg hunt. I know, I know, it's too much. Then we had a nice dinner with them and my brother and his family.

I asked Abbi and Reese if they even knew why we celebrate Easter, and Abbi said, "Jesus?" Oh my, and here I thought I was actually teaching my children. Andy and I decided to have our FHE the Monday before Easter be about Easter, and why we celebrate it. It turns out that after they were reminded they said, "Oh yeah, we knew that." Good to know:)

Easter Day

Easter day was pretty chill at our house this year. We did the big dinner and 2 Easter egg hunts the day before. However, they still were not lacking in an enormous amount of candy on Easter day too. My girls love Easter! The Easter bunny leaves them a small basket of candy on the end of their beds to wake up to. Then they also get to hunt around the house for eggs. (Lucky girls!)

Abbi thinks it's really funny to smile like this. Crazy kid.

Getting a smiley picture of all of them was impossible, even though I took about 20, so these were some that I like because they show my girls how they really are.

P.S. Reagan is 8 months now. She learned to do a one armed army crawl, but starts it off and ends it on her knees. She gives kisses on demand, and they are the fun open mouth type. She loves baby food, and those puff things. She didn't love green beans at first, but now she will eat anything. I don't know how much she weighs, but she's a chub so she probably close to 20lbs. Another fun trick she learned just this week is sitting herself up from the laying down position.
