Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny made a mid-afternoon drop at 4709 on this sunny, spring day. Sawyer sat and squawked orders from the deck as Evs zipped around the backyard piling her basked full of the traditional treat-filled, plastic eggs.

6 months

Our baby is halfway to one! Here's the monthly update:

A few of Sawyer's latest tricks are...

• Increasingly quick and accurate "Go Go Gadget" arms (she'll spill your coffee and bust your necklace in the blink of an eye)
• Fake crying (I'm sure she's been playing us for months... but we're on to her now)
• Sitting (Ryan: "We listed sitting last month", Lindsay: "That was 'tripod sitting', she can sit without support now... that's totally different")

A few of Sawyer's latest favorites are...

• Her big sis' (Sawyer's neck is on a swivel and lately tracks E's every move)
• The TV (not that we're plopping her in front of the tube, but if it's on... she'll work herself around to see what's happening)
• Puffs (a Cheerios-like "first finger food" for infants)

Urbanite

EJB's a hawk for airplanes and buses whenever we're out and about in the big city... and at a recent trip to the Minnesota Children's Museum, E got to play the role of captain.

*The marks on her face, you ask? MCM's do-it-yourself face paint (not that Evie would have it any other way).
