A Freund Easter

We had a beautiful Easter Sunday and hope everyone else did, too. Lucy wasn't very happy that she had to wear a dress. She's used to her sweatpants every day. I had to convince her it was just a "long shirt" and that the Easter Bunny only visits girls in dresses. Eventually, it worked.

Greta wasn't crying about her dress... I dont think. It was a bit snug...chubby girl can't even fit into a size 6 mo dress at 10 weeks old!!! I'm not so sure why she was crying, actually. It made for a classic picture though!


This one just made me laugh.

Griggy meets Greta while having Easter dinner at Christy and Andy's place.


And of course we had an Easter egg hunt. Apparently, I made it too easy for Lucy, cause she pretended she didn't see some of them to make it more fun for herself.


And the Easter Bunny did come! Lucy was able to draw with the bunny for a little while.

Baby Chubbs



Greta had her 8 week check up ( at 6.5 weeks old) - and my doctor just laughed at her. She couldn't believe her size. Greta is at 95-97 % for height, and off the charts for weight! Over 13 pounds. She's a really chubby baby!!

She's a strong little one, too. She showed off for her doctor at the appointment. She held her head way high for a long time while on her belly; and then she tried to do some crawling tricks; and then she tried to roll off the table! The doctor just stared all wide eyed and asked Greta, "Do you know how old you are?"




Lucy is trying to be a really good big sister. She likes to put toys on Greta's belly or head, and give Greta her "fossil" - Lucy's word for pacifier. I have no idea where she got that.

3 weeks later.......

Greta is a chunky monkey! Take a look!

Lucy is doing a great job with the adjustment, too. Occasionally she humors us and sits for a photo with her sister. I don't think she finds Greta too interesting just yet. The Legos are definitely higher on her list of things to do. She will sit and rearrange the blocks over and over. She says she's building a castle for Cinderella, the mice, and Lucy. Oh, and sometimes Thomas the train is invited to live there, too.
