Happy St Patricks Day

I had a cute St Patricks outfit for little Erica- I know that it is shocking. I had some extra time because someone ( Erica ) would not nap.. so I figured I would take some pictures. Here they are she looks so cute.

big girl swing

On thursday and friday the weather was FINALLY nice out so we made the most of it!! We went for walks and we also went to the park. This was Erica's first time in a swing other than the papasan swing she loved as a newborn. She loved this swing too! Look at that smile, she was so content and happy. We also helped her down the baby slide but she was not much into it. I can't wait for summer though all the fun things to do.

easter eggs

Today we were coloring easter eggs. Erica did not do any of the dirty work though she did hold an try to bite an egg. We took a few pics today too- thank god for becky's battery. I took one picture and my battery died luckily I I was able to use Beckys. Erica was so interested in the plastic eggs she just wanted to eat them. Here are a few shots from today.

Zoo

Sunday was finally an -OK- day and I had to get outside this winter seems to be lasting way to long!! We headed to the zoo-- my mom got us a membership for christmas and we finally got to use it. We had a great time the last time we were there was when erica was barely 8 weeks old now she is just about 8 months old what a difference. We had her sitting up in the stroller not in her car seat so she could see the animals. She looked so cute all bundled up!

Here is her picture from 8-17-07 and a comparison from today 3-2-08. It is amazing watching her grow.

Here is Erica being measured in the dolphin viewing area-- we are over two feet!

We went into the childrens zoo and the goats all wanted to be pet- Erica was in awe of the animal of course whil daddy pet the goats.

We took Erica on the Carousel and I am so glad - she sat on the baby hippo- she loved it from the moment I placed her on the seat she had a smile on her face and she grabbed on the bar. When we started to move she loved it- she was smiling and laughing it was awesome to see.
