sshhh...

i have found a moment to blog!! and to fill you in, i am sitting at my kitchen table with my coffe and a NEW laptop...love it. i actually forgot how fast the internet is {without all the million things i've downloaded slowing it down}. well, baby is asleep, which he does most of the day, however usually i am playing catch up...catch up on the laundry, catch up on the dishes, catch up on my reading, catch up with old friends, catch up with the family, and catching some zzz's. catching up blogging is passed to the way side.

so as to not keep you waiting lets start with easter, it was little's 1st and we spent it at home. we put him in his uber-cute outfit and took too many pictures. i know that he is too little for candy, but how could i resist a hollow chocolate peter rabbit {it's ok, it wasn't wasted: i ate it!} he does enjoy the animal bath squirters though, as much as we do? not so sure. and so begins the years of easter baskets and sunday best's.

and out of the tumultous basket of goodies......came his 1st toy {at least the 1st one he's taken an interest in} which i'm not sure consitutes as a toy considering its a blue plastic ring that attaches the real toy to the activity play mat, at this stage we'll take what we can get :) and if it entertains him for longer that 2 minutes, i'll call it anything.

the past month {april} also marked the milestone of elliott's 1st trip :) we drove all the way to michigan, and back, in 2 days. he was the best little one a mama could ask for, he slept all 13 hours both ways, waking only to eat and be changed. which, for those of you who are familiar with the little you know that he HATES his car seat, and hes a bit COLICKY. make no mistake i didnt capitalize that to down play it. he truly will scream for hours on end.

so from 1st trips to 1st toys...and so many, many more 1st's to come...here's to looking @ you kid
