A Mix: Mark at One Month Old, Easter (Part 1), Roxborough Park

Our little Mark is one month old!! Hard to believe! I took some pictures of him at one month (he is now actually 6 weeks), but our computer has since crashed and in the meantime I am using Jamie's MacBook from work which has taken me a couple weeks to figure out. I 100% want nothing to do with this MacBook once our computer is fixed. I have had so much trouble trying to figure it out. Maybe I'll learn to love it if I'm forced to use it?? At any rate, I did manage to get a few photos downloaded and onto this blog. Here are some photos of Mark at one month and Isabelle at 2 years, 3 months.
These two truly love each other. The best part of my day is hearing Isabelle say "love you, honey" to Mark. She says this about 10 times a day and kisses his little head. She takes such good care of him. When he is crying she does everything she can to help...get his blankie, his binkie, a stuffed animal, or just kisses and hugs him. Mark just stares at her when she is around. We love watching them together and can't wait to watch them grow up together!
Here are a few of the exciting things happening in Mark's life:
-He is awake quite a bit more
-He still eats about a 1,000 times a day and is growing like crazy
-He babbles, coos and caas quite often
-Just recently we've seen a couple smiles, but it has been almost impossible to get it on camera
-He still has to be carried in the Ergo carrier at all times of the day. He really wants nothing to do with being set down. His favorite position is smooshed against your body, upright.
I could only manage to post the Easter pictures my mom sent me. For some reason this computer won't let me get any of my new pictures off the camera. So, once our PC is fixed I'll post our family Easter pictures. So, here is Part 1 of Easter and who knows when Part 2 will come??

Belle on an Easter egg hunt. (The outside hunt. The inside hunt will come later).

She was a little hesitant to meet the Easter bunny and it took some warming up. We found this unusual for Little Miss Brave. However, it didn't take long before she ran up and gave him a big hug.
The last couple weeks I have taken Belle and Mark to Roxborough State Park for their kids nature program. We meet up with her good friend, Marisol and they have the time of their life. They are true little girls--laughing, holding hands, and running around. Mark is a trooper and hangs out in the carrier being the perfect little boy.
Listening to the Grouchy Ladybug story
On the nature hike looking for ladybugs
Doing the craft activity which involved gluing all the habitats for a ladybug and using red paint to put the ladybug in their habitat. She also learned about eagles the second time we went.
Being goofy with Marisol after lunch. We'll probably continue to go to these over the summer. She is an outdoorsy girl so this program is perfect for her.
