Easter Egg Hunt

We went to the Easter Eggstravaganza at church yesterday. Here's Philip and Daddy watching the puppet show.
There also had a fun bounce house to play in with animals to climb on.

Philip's favorite was this alligator.

Philip also hunted Easter eggs - here's a big one that he found!

Philip really liked the balloons much better than the eggs.
The Easter Bunny also made an appearance before his busiest day of the year!
Philip liked to touch his soft ears.

Helping Daddy Rake

Dad, I'll rake for you!

Raking is fun!
I can lift the rake high in the air.
Okay - I'm done now. Time to play.

Are these ants, Dad?

Where should I put this rake?

I'll just leave it here. Dad will get it later.

Sunglasses

Philip has been trying out his sunglasses to get ready for summer and the beach. He thinks they are cool like Mommy's.
He doesn't know you aren't supposed to wear them in the house yet.

Pancakes & Blueberries

We had breakfast for dinner tonight - Pancakes, eggs, bacon. Oh, and blueberries - note Philip's blue mouth and hands.

After several weeks of minimal interest in eating - Philip cleaned his plate and wanted seconds, and then thirds! The blueberries seemed to disappear as soon as they hit his plate.

Outside (Soutside)

Philip's new love is to be outside, or "soutside" as he calls it. We've had some warm weather lately, so he's been outside a lot more in the past few weeks.

He loves to look for cats outside, and says "Here kitty" and clicks his tongue like his dad taught him.

Philip loves to run around the yard, and usually says "RUN!" while he's running. I guess just to let us know what he's doing.

We have balls and toys to play with, but the sprinkler is the favorite backyard toy.

Philip's 1st Haircut

Philip had his first haircut today. Here is the before shot with his curls .

We're ready to start!

He had a big cookie to distract him from what was actually going on, and he actually sat still the entire time!

Here he is at home coloring after the haircut.

Happy (Late) Valentine's Day

We are way behind with the Valentine's pictures! Philip and Daddy gave Mommy some roses. Philip enjoyed them more than anyone!

18 Month Check Up

Today was Philip's 18 month check-up. He weighs 23 pounds and 13 ounces, and is 31 1/4 inches tall.

Birthday Party!!

Philip was invited to a birthday party this past weekend at the carousel at our Mall. He got to color a picture when we arrived.

Philip also got to wear a crown for the party, which he surprisingly left on for the entire party.

Daddy rode first with Philip. At first, Philip wanted to stand up and get off the horse. Once the ride started, he sat down and was very excited!

Mommy had a turn on the carousel with Philip.

Philip was very still and serious while on the horse. Although I did hear him say "Whee!" a few times!

After the ride ended, Philip looked at the horse and said "Again!"

We had a snack of chips and juice in between rides.

We had some yummy birthday cake, and Philip practiced his new skills with a fork.

Mmmm - Icing is so Good!!
