New to Nature

The air was still a bit cool, but the bright sunshine warmed our faces as we sat in the lawn for first time barefoot. Bo wasn't sure he liked the feeling of grass beneath his feet. He would slowly bend forward to feel the grass with his hands and would immediately grimace and pull away. Soon, he found a dandelion and was captivated by its bright yellow color. This afternoon outside was Bo's first true introduction to the outdoors. No bulky winter coat or frigid temperatures to distract his experience of fresh air.

Mama's Little Obstacles Begin!

I identify this as "the beginning". Our well approached daily routine would begin to have interesting interruptions. This is the time period that I stopped blogging because I found no time to sit and concentrate alone. These photos will illustrate only one example of Mama trying to stay on task by emptying the dishwasher. Bo has other plans for me and the dishwasher. He has turned into a natural climber. His lack of fear keeps him curious.

This of course was what he was into at that very second. Two minutes from now he will be in the pantry trying to eat a raw potato, that he plucked from the basket, with his two little teeth.

So, if anyone was wondering why it has been nearly four months since I've blogged, remember these photos in your mind. Then, pray for Heath and I that we always stay one step ahead of our little one. Also, that we stay clear headed enough to remove our son from the dishwasher before starting it.....just joshing you!

Easter

Bo loved looking at the brightly colored eggs that we dyed.  It wasn't until he was actually sitting in our laps when we thought maybe permanent dye and kiddos shouldn't get too close to each other just yet.  So, Bo went from active participator to simple observer almost immediately with this family activity.  Bo's first Easter was wonderful.  We went for an Easter egg hunt at Grandma Alicia's house with all his cousins.  He got a blue bucket and shovel to play with in the sand.  It was filled with candies for Mama.  He also, got an Easter chick that flaps its wings and sings  a catchy tune.  His Easter outfit had three spring chicks on the front, light green pants and a sweater to match.
