Easter weekend

He is risen!

We had a wonderful Easter celebration this year!  Everything seems to take on more meaning when you have a baby to share it with. :)

On Good Friday we attended the annual crawfish boil at the Boudreauxs!  These are our "couple friends".  In 2016 and 2017, we will have added THREE babies and celebrated THREE marriages within the group.  So blessed by these friendships!

The Easter Bunny came to see Perry on Sunday!  She had fun looking through her basket (mostly shaking the puff-filled eggs).  She got a new swimsuit, beach cover-up, a book, and bubbles!

We headed to church in Katy, then went to my parents' house afterwards for lunch, Easter egg hunting, and swimming!

Love these sweet cuzzies!

Perry loved the pool! 

We are blessed!

NINE months!

Perry Frances is N*I*N*E months old, and month nine was the best month yet!!!  John and I are basically obsessed with our daughter and constantly talk about how cute and funny she is.  Her official 9 month stats are:

Weight:  19 lbs. 9 oz.  (74%)

Height:  29.5 in.  (96%)

Perry is in a really easy and fun stage.  She is super predictable with her schedule, able to entertain herself without getting into too much mischief while I'm getting things done, and just overall happy and easy!  We are loving it!

Perry has been extra snuggly this month, which of course we LOVE.  She had been going through a "miss independent" stage where she didn't like us to hold her for very long, but lately she has been doing things like falling asleep on my chest at night, sitting in John's lap to watch the news in the morning, and randomly laying her head down on our chest when we're playing.

She has also been laughing a lot more lately!  She especially loves it when you blow on her stomach or throw her up in the air.  She makes herself laugh a lot, too.  Her laugh is the sweetest sound to me, and her smile is the BEST!  I was trying to think about what her favorite toys are, but she doesn't really have any favorites because she does not play with a toy for more than three seconds before she moves on to the next one.  Haha!  She does love our "house toy" and opening and closing the door.

Perry got her first two teeth last month!  They appeared on March 4th, and now they finally show when she smiles.  Obsessed!!!

Her schedule is similar to last month.  She is sleeping from about 7:30pm to 6:30-7am and napping around 9:30 and 2.  She is drinking four bottles a day, but the number of ounces has decreased as she is eating more food.  We have gotten more adventurous with the foods we give her, and she has been eating more as a result!  She especially loves avocado, chicken and veggie meatballs, strawberries, and cheese.

We love you to the moon, Perry Frances!
