Sunny Day Playdate

It was so nice today! We had a great time soaking up the sun with Elin, Marin and Lilia and their mommies.

The Face

 This is the new face that Laken started making last Friday.  And she hasn't stopped making it since.

 The face, combined with the constant growling and grumbling noises that she likes to make, has led us to fondly refer to her as our little gremlin. :)

Laken Lamb

Biker Babe

 The weather was great on Friday, so Stephen decided to ride in to work.  I just couldn't help but snap a couple of pictures of him on his way out.  

Something New

Laken tried puffs this week!

We are still working on the hand to mouth coordination - and Auntie Lisa and I had some good laughs watching her "practice" - but she's getting the hang of it and starting to like them.  I mostly just like that they serve as a great distraction for her while I'm getting her food ready for her!

Nisqually Pictures

Boardwalk at Nisqually

 Last Sunday was May Day and a rare sunny day here - since we were coming out of one of the coldest Aprils on record, we decided to make the most of it and get outdoors.  We drove down to the Nisqually Nature Refuge and enjoyed a nice long walk on the boardwalk.  The tide was really low and we didn't see much wildlife, but we had a wonderful day.  Laken started out in the stroller...

And then she got in the Bjorn with Daddy - she LOVES to be in the Bjorn

 Then she got into the Bjorn with Mommy - still as happy as ever!

 And, finally, she got out of any constraints whatsoever when Mommy and Daddy decided to do an impromptu photo shoot with their pretty little girl - I mean, who could resist!?!

 We took a ton of pictures - I will post some more soon!

7 Months!

 Seven months and I am on the move!

Easter Part One

 We spent Easter Saturday down in Kelso with Stephen's family and had an absolute blast.  It was the most beautiful day we've had all year and we spent lots of time outside enjoying it.  

We had an Easter egg hunt in Jeff & Deb's backyard.  They hid $300 in eggs all over the backyard and it was every man for himself!

 Laken got in some good Great-Grandma time as we all sat out on the patio drinking wine and enjoying the sunshine.

We had a blast shooting bb guns at pop cans and starting up an impromptu dance party

 And, of course, we spent the majority of the time oogling the newest member of the bunch in her cute little Easter dress
