"Mama, take a picture!"

Its crazy that Eli has been with us three months already! But at the same time, it seems like he's always been here. There's no doctors appointment this month, so we aren't exactly sure how much he weighs, but we know he's growing! He also started sleeping 12 hours at night! This momma is very happy about that. :)

This month, Eli loves:

**sleeping all night

**laughing at his family

**bath time

**tummy time

Twinning with Uncle Nate!

Getting really good at holding his head up!

Happy Birthday Stro!

Strother turned 33 at the end of April, and we had lots of fun celebrating! He had a party with friends at the Baby Cakes baseball stadium. There is a party spot with a pool and hot tubs that we rented, and it was a blast! We got to relax in the hot tub (the pool was pretty cold!) and watch the game. We also had a great family dinner and some delicious cupcakes on his actual birthday.

Birthday boy!

Going to dinner on his birthday! Lily loved singing happy birthday to him and was excited to eat cupcakes:)

Happy birthday Stro! Cheers to a great year!

Happy Easter!

This Easter was so fun! Lily loved egg hunts, even simple ones in the backyard. She loved opening the eggs to find the goodies inside, mostly bracelets and other small toys she already had. She loved the Easter train at the mall, and we did some fun Easter crafts. Both Lily and Eli looked adorable for church on Easter Sunday, and we had fun teaching Lily that Easter is about Jesus coming to be our friend forever!
