Easter Recap

Since I've been so tired the last two weeks my midnight ramblings have been reduced to deep slumber by 9 p.m. hence no daily (weekly) recaps.

Anyway, Easter was eight days ago. We went to Andy's parents house, after we spent the night at my parents. We left Posa behind (my mom said she had a blast streching out in the sun and doing all lazy basset-y things)

At Andy's parents house, it was the usual humdrum, with his sisters and their families, Gramps and Ronnie's mom.

Ivan got three Easter baskets with all sorts of stuff. (Of course, Andy and I didn't let him eat the candy, but we divvied it up between ourselves during the course of the week.) But he got other cool stuff.

When we got there, he was initially shy. But then he loosened up. He had a good time with Josh. I caught them in a very cute moment, reading a book in the kids room. It just cracks me up that Josh is so attentive to Ivan. Of all the cousins, I'd expect him to be the one least interested in babies.

After lunch, Ivan and I went into their back yard to pick up eggs, which they had thrown all of the yard for Ivan to pick up. It was lots of fun. He kept saying "ja, ja."

He also played in the grass with Andy, Josh and Jacob....some sort of ball-related activity.

Later in the day, Josh and Jacob were playing video games in Andy's parents bedroom. Ivan stood by the entry way, looking at them. He was interested in what the big boys were doing but he was too shy to go in. It was really cute.

He didn't take a nap that day. I didn't even bother to try to put him down because I knew he wouldn't sleep. So by the time we left at 5, he fell asleep in the car before we even managed to turn onto 83. He woke up for a second when we pulled to my parents' house to pick up Mariposa. But I handed him Medic and he fell back asleep. When we came home, he woke up cranky while we were trying to change him. But with some milk and Medic he was out like a light when I put him to bed. So in other words he fell asleep at 5 for the night.

Of course, I knew he was going to be up at 5 a.m. And he was. At 5:12 to be more exact. Chipper, babble-y and starving.
