Daddy's Work

This past week Raven and I went to visit Mikel at work to eat lunch with him and visit his office. I always enjoy seeing where people work, that way when you think of them when they are at work, you can have a more accurate picture in your head of them. Here's Mikel's cute little cubicle!

Easter

On the Saturday before Easter we went to Vogel to hunt for Easter eggs, eat food and have fun!


Raven's checking out her goodies that the Easter bunny left her.


I had a giant basket and I thought, 'hey, I bet I could fit Raven in that basket! That would probably be a cute Easter picture!' But Raven thought more along the lines of 'Why did mom just put me in a basket?'


Regardless of her thoughts, I ended up with two decent shots.


Hope every 'bunny' had a great Easter! Haha...hah?

Oh well, here's our Easter pumpkin! Who knew pumpkins could last six months? What resilient fruits!

Nap time


This baby would sleep all day if someone held her during her naps, but I've been fighting with her for a couple of months now to get her to nap in her crib. It has been awful. At first I let her nap with pillows on both sides of her to simulate being snuggled and I checked her often to make sure she could breath. She did okay with that, but the last couple of weeks I've taken the pillows out and she hates it. She rolls around, sticks her arm between the bars, has her face pushed against the sides. In rage she found the strength to roll over, but not sleep. I can't stand hearing her cry, so I'll go in there after ten minutes and she falls asleep the second I pick her up. Anyway, it has been crazy, but yesterday she actually fell asleep in her crib, so I was looking forward to testing her out today. However, Mikel texted me during his lunch and we talked on gmail, so I set Raven down on her activity mat. After his lunch I go to pick her up and put her in her crib and she is out like a light.


It's probably bad, but I just let her be. She slept a half hour before the crinkle of freddy the fireflies wings woke her up.

Rice Cereal

We started Raven on rice cereal last week. Most of it ended up on the bib or her face or hands, but see really seemed to like it. She kept trying to suck the spoon, but she was opening her mouth wide. She'll be a star eater in no time!
