I know I am way behind on my blog so I am going to try and catch up for April. We had a quiet, happy Easter at home just the 3 of us. Since we expected the weather to be bad on Sunday we did an Easter egg hunt for Dylan in our front yard on Saturday and then again on Sunday. He liked finding the eggs especially since I put candy in them! Easter morning we went to church before the storm and the lights went out during mass. Crazy weather but after lunch the weather was beautiful and we were able to spend time outside with Dylan.
Steven's mom was here for Easter weekend - she came to help her siblings get her mothers house ready to put on the market. She babysat Dylan Saturday night and they did really well together.
On April 16th my sister had baby girl Juliette Pearl Anderson. My sister had a placental abruption during labor so Juliette had to be given oxygen and rushed to the NICU. It was a very stressful, emotional weekend but thanks to lots of prayers and support Juliette is improving everyday. She is still in the NICU but doing much better and breathing on her own. She is one tough, beautiful little girl. We are headed back to Austin this weekend to see her again. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind wishes for baby Juliette and our family. I will post a picture of her soon my sister said she was able to take a good one today.
Dylan is growing, talking a lot and have temper tantrums when he does not get his way. He is sleeping much better in his big boy bed than in his crib. Some nights he makes it all night by himself and others he wakes up around 4 or 5ish and Steven or I go and sleep with him. He prefers to be with me all the time now. Sometimes he does not want Steven or the nanny to hold him or play with him just me which can get exhausting. When we wakes up at night instead of crying he just says Ma, Ma. He also loves picking flowers out of the yard and bringing them in to me. I do not think we will have any left on our bushes soon - such a sweet baby boy. He is also really into Thomas trains and likes to put together and pull apart the tracks.
Steven and I will have been married for 5 years this Friday. Time is flying! That is all my April news so far. Hopefully the rest of the month will be calm and relaxing and we are praying baby Juliette gets stronger and healthier everyday. Below are some Easter egg hunt pictures of Dylan.
