Our little lady

Look at that little girl all dressed up for Easter. Where did my tiny baby go? I was recently complaining that with a new baby on the way we had to get Harper to sleep in her own bed till morning rather than coming in with us at 5:30 or 6:30 and sleeping another hour or two. Will kindly reminded me that we should be enjoying that hour of snuggle time as it won't happen forever. And thanks to him I have been. It's not easy but so worth it to appreicate things as they come and enjoy them while they last.
March was a great month. We had a visit with Theo and met baby Ana for the first time. Harper loved her and was very nurturing. I helped her hold her twice but no one else was near to take a photo otherwise I would have shared one. When we got home she named one of her dolls baby Ana. Harper enjoyed several play dates with the McClellands (and by play date I mean Dana watched Harper and I paid her in bunny crackers and strawberries for snack time...she keeps saying she'll collect on babysitting from us but it hasn't happened yet.) Alex and Kyler are always Harper's first guess (hope) when I say "guess where we're going today." It's my goal to have some actual play dates with them this month. She has the best time.
We have been super lucky to have some unseasonably warm weather these last few days. We've been making trips to the park and playing in the yard.
We just celebrated Easter with a day that included a visit from the Easter bunny in the morning and then brunch at Ashley & Jarrod's and more Easter goodies for Harper. Then at Nonie & Papa's we had an easter egg hunt that was a big success. It was so nice out that Harper hunted for eggs in the nude. It was glorious. Here are a couple of my favorite Easter photos & the latest belly shot:
