Well, it has been a little over a week since we have been home now and we are celebrating our first Easter. Grandma and Grandpa are here with us and we decorated Easter Eggs last night. Us adults did most of the work. It was still fun. Grandma, I mean the Easter Bunny, hid baskets and Daddy and I helped the kids find them this morning. They were very fascinated with the crinkle paper. Brooke got a princess basket and Kyle got a fire engine basket. How appropriate.
This past Friday, we went to Victoria Gardens to visit the Easter Bunny. The kids did really well and no one cried. We even got Brooke to crack a smile. I went crazy and purchased the family package but forgot to get the images on a CD. I will have to go and make a copy so I can post it here.
Until then, these are some photos of the kids with some of the bunnies they have gotten this Easter. Thank you to everyone who has brought them by. We have bunnies galore now.
Not much else is new. We're getting on a schedule and it seems to be working out quite great. Grandma and Grandpa have been a huge help. Grandma is helping in the kitchen and around the house and Grandpa is helping with projects around the house. Steve went back to work last week and was gone Wednesday night until Saturday morning. I thought I would be a bit more freaked out by myself but I was on "the schedule" and it went fine. I felt like I was constantly running around though. My girlfriend just said, "Welcome to Motherhood!"
We did just have a milestone though. Kyle slept until 7:30am this morning. Happy Easter Mommy! I started feeding him rice cereal AND a bottle at bedtime and that seems to help. Brooke will still have nothing to do with a spoon. I tried to give her oatmeal one morning and sort of forced it in her mouth. Yah, well, she blew it right out and all over me. Guess I sort of had that one coming. I'll keep trying. Kyle is catching up more and more every day. He can now sit on hit own for quite some time. He can't put himself in that position but once there, does just fine. He balanced and will catch himself if he starts to tip over. He is also learning to pull himself toward all sorts of objects. Their favorite toy are these light up ducks they got from Robi. I need to get more. Kyle will crawl a long way to get toward them.
So that is it for now. Life is just rolling on with our 2 new little ones. They are adjusting just great and Brooke is smiling and giggling a lot more and that is nice to see. She will crawl toward me and put her arms up meaning she wants me to pick her up. That just warms my heart. She has come a long way since the day we took her from the orphanage and she was afraid of us that night. She is now giggling and laughing with Grandma and Grandpa too. Life is good and for those of you who haven't met them yet, I can't wait for you to meet them!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this Easter.
