Bikin' and Trikin'

If you couldn't tell by the photos above, we took Christian for his first (and second) Easter egg hunt today. The first half of today was really nice here in Seattle. It is now rainy as usual but we had a nice break in the weather for a little outdoor activity. At church they broke the hunt into three categories, 0-2, 2-5 and 5 and up. As you can see by the lawn in the top picture above, the eggs were pretty easy to find for the youngest group. He is not old enough to want to get as many eggs as possible, like some of the 2 year olds, so he was pretty happy to get just his one.

Later we went to Mike and Sarah's for brunch and engaged in a similar hunt with their baby, Claire, who is one. Again, Christian was perfectly happy with his one egg, (with cheerios inside so they rattled).

While he still can't crawl, he now goes from his belly to sitting up, which is quite a move for him. And he will get into a near football stance and rock back and forth, and a couple of times he has even moved backwards, which is not the way he wants to go, but I'm sure he'll figure it out soon.
