Easter

On Good Friday, we headed to Diana's.  We had a really good trip and made good time--that means Elliot went to the bathroom when we did. Ha!  We have had trips where we stop six times within an hour before he can relax and go to the bathroom. Saturday morning started out with a nice bakery breakfast.  We ate and ate and ate.  After that, we headed to the local DIY store to get some spring plants for Diana's terrace. 

  

Elliot and his Dili

 

We had to wait for the train to go by. :)

 

 

 

 

Our eggs that we hunted.  Only about 5 came home.  Elliot is really hard on hard-boiled eggs.  He dropped his little baskets a couple of time. :)

 

 

Saturday afternoon we went on a walk in a nearby village where they had warm springs.  We got to see horses, cows, ducks, fish and a lot of turtles.  And we hunted for eggs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We were able to go to the church of Christ in Augsburg in the morning and headed to LEGOLAND in the afternoon!  That was a really neat place!  Very children friendly.  They even had a whole building where you could take care of your baby.  Very convenient.  I was able to warm up Nolan's bottle.  Elliot had a blast!  His face was just smiling the whole time!

 

 

 

His face says it all!

Easter is coming!

Elliot is pretty excited that Easter is coming.  "We go to Dili (our niece) and then Easter comes!  How exciting!"  When we go outside, many trees have plastic Easter eggs hanging on the trees.  I guess I should take a picture!  It is hard to catch on video, but Elliot is really dramatic.  I realized that the other day.  It is quite funny.  He just doesn't talk.  He TALKS.  With his hands, face and whole body.

 

 

 

 

Elliot put lots of this shiny stuff on the eggs...and the eggs got stuck to the egg carton when it dried...we'll have egg salad soon.

 

 

Nolan can turn a 360!  I am cheating a little...he sits on his rump on the mat in the boys' room and uses his feet to turn himself.  Otherwise, no teeth, no crawling...BUT he can drink out of a glass!!!!  I am excited about that!  Andre bought this really expensive sippy cup--and of course, he didn't want it.  After about two weeks of trying, I just gave up and went to a normal glass.  Why should I buy different expensive sippy cup???  It took him about a week, but he has it down now!

 

 

I'm over here, people.  I'm over here.

 

 

 

 

Just Can't Resist--Part 2

The first one is one of my favorite videos of Nolan so far. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our little boy is getting big!

Just Can't Resist...

 

Just can't resist posting all these pictures of Nolan! 

 

 

Pinchers and Crocus

Nolan's pinchers are starting to work!  He was rolling the little ball in the middle of the rattle with his index finger.  We have tried giving him a little piece of bread and he is starting to pick it up with his pinchers, but he doesn't put it in his mouth.  It is just so amazing how children grow and develop.  I guess I will have to start vacuuming more often....

 

 

I tried to get some pictures in the crocus field near our house.
