Speakin Sie English?: Happy Easter!!!!

Happy Easter, everyone!!!!!!!!!

So......this week started out with some serious CABIN FEVER!!!!!!

Lennan and Mommy decided to make some beautiful music....complete with punk hairstyle. Yes, Mommy was bored:

This setup gets the thumbs-up from the drummer! We are ready to ROCK!

Yeeeeeeeah!!!!! Fist pump and mad drumstick holding skills!

Or eat the drumstick?

Drumstick #2! That first one was tasty.

Doh!

I suppose the show must go on bongo-styles!

Bangin' and droolin'. Typical drummer.

What's that terrible sound!!!????!

Yes, those are just a few of the hundred photos Mommy took during this adventure. Come on, spring, we need to get outside!

Hear the Animal for yourself on these two videos:

Drum it!

and

Creative drumming

Fun times. Maybe next time I pull out the pots, she will have better aim....

The next time cabin fever struck this week, we played with the mirror. Lennan was quite taken with her tiny new friend:

Who is that beautiful creature??? Please ignore Mommy's wackadoo pajamas.

Yep....let me try to put it in my mouth.

Oh, thank god for the magic window cleaning cloth. Thanks Nana Jan! That thing is amazing!

Then finally..........the weather was WARM!!!!! (ish) We finally got outside for a walk, and Leni wasn't wearing a snowsuit! Woah.

Not sure she loves the loss of her thumbs. Oh, baby mitts!

She looks huge in this picture. Ha!

And we finally had some patio time:

Leni spent much of the time trying to get her hat off. Probably wanted to eat it...

Yay sunshine!

ALSO THIS WEEK:

Easter, and a visit from the Northern Grandparents! And that means lotsa pictures, folks! Here are the photos of our adventures this beautiful weekend:

Fashion show! Getting ready for a pool swim! Polka dots are SO in this season.

Leni's learning the ins and outs of the sippy cup.

Daddy's at home!

Family togethernessness.

A beautiful moment with Grandma and Piglet's foot.

Bright pink teething cheeks! She has TWO teeth now!

Here's a fun video of a baby laughing at a dog:

Leo's a silly-billy

We tried to have an Easter photo shoot with Lennan all dressed up and all the Easter-like props! Unfortunately Leni was too interested in growling and playing with / eating the props. Oh well, here are some of the cute results from the shoot:

Getting ready to taste the lamb chops (stuffed, of course)!

Um.....does that ribbon taste good, Lennan Elizabeth?

Um......Lennan....LOOK UP HERE!!!!! BABABABOOOOBOOBOO LALALALA oh forget it

Um.....WE'RE OVER HERE SILLY GIRL!!!!

Mid-GROOOOOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least she's looking this way.

**BLINK**

And that's the photo shoot...great, eh? Arg.

Hmmmm what else happened that was adorable and memorable and photographable?

We went to the PARK with the grandparents!

First we went on the swings...we tried out two different types to determine the best baby-fit:

This one's a hit!

She loves the swings!!!

Mommy pushed!

Peekaboo!

Woah don't get too close, little one! Momma needs her teeth to hold her face up!

Swing #2 was also great...Leni was very much interested in watching the bigger kids on the slide. She wanted to play too!

Just had to pose for a few more pictures before slide-time! I think she's over it at this point!

We went on the slide, but I didn't get the video from Grandad so we'll have to revisit that later! But let me tell you....it was a baby being carried down a slide. Imagine!

Then....a mistake:
