Happy Easter!

Okay; so I think that it has been almost 3 weeks since I have added an entry in here! Eek! I have been a little frustrated because I have some really cute videos that I want to share, but am having constant problems uploading them. I am sure that there is an easy fix to figure out why Microsoft is all of a sudden overriding the necessary software that I need to use, but I can't figure it out!! Hopefully I find a way to get someone here or fix it myself sometime soon....

Holland has picked up more and more words and animal sounds lately. She now also likes to give Modoc commands- Stay, Go, NO! I think it is funny. I also like that Holland rarely uses the word no as we rarely us it also, so she does not say it all the time like a lot of toddlers seem to.

Holland has really enjoyed egg hunting the past few days. I thought that I would at least share a few pictures of her on this Easter weekend since sadly I am unable to share the videos that I have. But, hope you enjoy these just the same. We have mostly just done a lot of hiding eggs inside. But, Friday a friend of Holland's came over and they both hunted for eggs in our backyard. It is just so fun to watch little ones interact, especially at this age!

























And this one was taken this morning after opening up her Easter basket. She loved the little chick that we gave her:

a glimpse into an ordinary Monday

I took 3 videos of Holland today. I realized that I really have not taken of her talking or doing so many of the things that she now does on a daily basis.

Holland talking! I will have to take another video of her saying her other words!


This is just a video of Holland being her usual silly self. Joe said that the chair looked tacky because it is facing directly towards the tv. Haha. So, just in case anyone was wondering, I had only moved it there today while I was cleaning up the living room and we never even have the tv during on the day (other than to listen to music!)


Dad coming home!
Holland gets so excited when Joe comes home from work. Often she points and yells, "dada" as she sees him drive up, while watching him through the window. Today, she was a little more reserved with her excitement, but I know it was there all the same.

Weee!

Here is a little video taken of Holland in our backyard this afternoon. There is an elevation change on one section in the grass and Holland loves to run down it saying "weee!" I really don't know where she picked this up. I guess that either Joe or I must have said it to begin with though neither of us really recall doing that.

You might notice that we got a new fence!!! It so nice to finally have a private backyard! Of course, now the back section of the fence looks horrible, but we plan to have that done also in the next month or so.
