8 Months / Happy Easter

Josh and I started off our weekend with taking Daphne to church on Saturday morning for an Easter Egg hunt. Josh took Daphne to see some clowns while I waited in the small chapel. There are no pictures of this part of the event for obvious reasons. They had a good time singing songs and dancing. Then we started the hunt.

Daphne did a great job finding the eggs and then liked chewing on them!

After church, Daphne had her first of many trips to come into "the windy city". Our first stop was to Millennium Park

One of our stops was to see Buckingham Fountain.

Daphne finally fell asleep after long walks throughout the city.

Our last stop for the day before going home was to Navy Pier. It was very crowded but we did luck out on choosing such a beautiful day to go.

Daphne turned 8 months old on Easter Sunday. She is crawling around everywhere and having such a fun time exploring. At times she will crawl on one knee and use one foot. Because of this I am thinking that she will be walking around in a couple months. I will have more updates on her after her 9 month well check.

Daphne enjoyed bouncing in her new Jumperoo. We all had a great time watching Ellison, Jack, Nolan and Daphne play together.

Family filled Weekend

We started our weekend off by taking the family to Busse Woods for a nice walk. The dogs really needed it and so did we. Josh and I had a long week of unpacking, getting settled and Josh starting back at work in a new office. We are enjoying our new apartment and enjoying our new neighborhood. The train is just blocks away along with tons of amazing restaurants and shops. We even have a swimming pool just a block away that we can't wait to use in the summer heat!

Josh, Daphne and I are very happy to call Illinois our home! We are pretty sure that Bosco and Pete are enjoying it too. We are so pleased to be welcomed back home by family, friends, lush green spring grass and trees!

On Saturday afternoon we headed to Jason and Sadaf's house. We had a wonderful time catching up and watching Daphne play with her cousin Layla.

Daphne enjoyed playing with her Uncle Jason

On Sunday, we headed to my mom's house to play. Daphne really enjoyed setting with her daddy looking at the pond in my mom's backyard. I couldn't get over how cute they looked together.

Awwww...Daddy, Daphne time!

She didn't seem to mind the feeling of the grass and loved picking up leaves and sticks.

Sooooooo Adorable!!!

We have tried Daphne in the swing a couple times but she never enjoyed it, that is until yesterday! After my mom's, we went to Jonathan and Erin's for more play time and dinner. They also wanted to welcome Josh to his new home.

Ellison also loves to swing. Here is Daphne with her cousins Ellison and Nolan. We don't think that Nolan liked the feeling of the grass on his legs and feet.

Daphne loves to "hang out" with her daddy!!
