Easter 2012

What a wonderful Easter we had this year! We were able to go and freely worship our resurrected Savior at church Sunday morning. Our church had a beautiful service - we are so blessed to be members of a church that praises the name of Jesus every Sunday!

After church, Alan, Elizabeth, and I went to Fuddruckers for Easter lunch! I've been really liking burgers and fries this pregnancy (especially Five Guys and Fuddruckers), and Alan was nice enough to comply with his pregnant wife's wishes.

When we got home, we kept Elizabeth occupied with her Easter basket full of goodies - a swim suit, hat, sunscreen, and her favorite, books.









When Miss E woke up from her nap, we had her second Easter egg hunt of the year (the first was Saturday in Uncle Dustin's apartment with Gammie and Pops). She had fun... Until she figured out how to open the egg and found the goldfish inside. :)

Love your baby...

The past week or so, Elizabeth has learned the cutest thing ever! If you tell her to "love your baby," she'll find her nearest baby doll/stuffed animal and give it her version of a hug. I love it! She'll also do it to people, as long as the person holding her isn't doing the asking. What fun times!

Party Post 4: Elizabeth's "Big" Present

Elizabeth got one big present for her birthday... And when I mean big, I mean, honestly, it was too big...

But that's all good, because she has seven months to grow into it...

We made the "big" announcement at Elizabeth's birthday party. We had the shirt wrapped up, and it was the last present that Miss E opened. Of course, I couldn't keep my big mouth shut, so some people already knew, but it was great to surprise everyone else!

The details...

Baby Letz #2 is due November 3, which puts me at 9 1/2 weeks! We had our first ultrasound Friday, March 30, and s/he was measuring 8 weeks 3 days with a heart rate of 184bpm! We go back April 26 for another ultrasound, which I can't wait for. Alan and I are so excited about this new addition and can't wait until November when we get to meet him/her!

Party Post 3: The Smash Cake

Elizabeth had TONS of fun with her smash cake!! I'm so glad Aunt Amber was there to take all the pictures - she did a great job capturing the moment! Because so many amazing pictures were taken, I had a hard time narrowing it down... stay tuned for a very picture laden post! :)

One Year Stats

We had Elizabeth's one year well child check-up today! Poor baby had to get 4 shots... and goes back in a month to get 2 more (her awesome pediatrician doesn't think it's right to the child to get 6 shots at once, so he has them split up!). All the pictures you see in this post are courtesy of Natalie Blazei Photography. She did a great job and we are so in love with all the pictures! It was hard to just pick a few to show! :)

Now... on to the pictures and stats:

Elizabeth, you weight 17 pounds, 13 ounces (25th percentile)

You're 29 1/2 inches tall (between 50th and 85th percentile)

And your head circumference is 17 1/2 inches.

We love you to the moon and back!!

Party Post 2: The people

We made sure to take pictures with family BEFORE everyone came! I'm glad we did that, because by the time everyone left, I was ready to go eat dinner!
