Easter Weekend

Not too much excitement in our neck of the woods this week. Since the weather was so beautiful Gabe and I spent several days this week going on walks and spending time in the park. He has also refused to eat anymore rice cereal. He clamps his mouth shut like they say in the scriptures "tight like a dish." Meaning, NOTHING'S GETTING IN THERE! I just can't see how forcing him to eat is a good thing and he sure doesn't seem to enjoy it (I sense this because he's crying and gagging on the cereal), so I think we'll give him a break for a couple of weeks and then try again.
His new thing this week is rolling over! He has become very good at it, however, he gets very frustrated when he is on his stomach and can't get back onto his back. So he spins circles on his stomach and protests the fact that he is on his tummy. The past couple of weeks he has also become very "vocal." (That's a nice way of saying he screams like a little girl.) He has just started screaming... screaming in delight sometimes, screaming in anger other times, doesn't really matter why he just likes to scream! It's cute now, but it wears on you after a while, so I hope it is a phase he'll grow out of fairly soon. But, in the meantime we live in a very happy "shrieking shack!"
Easter weekend has been nice, but uneventful. Gabe and I spent Saturday with my good friend Angie. We went shopping for summer clothes for Gabe and had a picnic in the park. I just can't get enough of being outside whenever I want! I love not being cooped up in an office all day and being able to go outside and cure my SpringFever on beautiful days like we've been having! I'm getting super anxious for the pool to open now that the weather is nice...I'm so excited to be a pool mom!!! Today, Easter Sunday, we went to church and then John, Gabe and I had a quiet Easter afternoon at home, just the 3 of us. Strawberry shortcake for dessert was our Easter treat!
