Easter!

My little lady in her Easter dress...destroying a truck

My handsome little man..

Rachel tunnel-vision

Easter egg hunt in the backyard

..and they're off!

Grandmama helps Rachel collect her eggs
Josh isn't quite sure about this whole production
Rachel decides she needs to put the eggs back where they came from
Josh is going strong
Rachel on the move

Josh looks for treats

Rachel adds to her purse - I mean, basket

Josh takes a moment to reflect

Taking the eggs inside to find goodies
Rachel trades baskets for buckets
Josh runs to hide his loot from Rachel

..too late, Rachel found him

17 Months and counting..

The Bakers growing up

Clowning aroundand playing chase
Hangin out on the deck with Papa

Mommy, pick me up!

I'm as crazy as I am cute!

15 Months and oh so cool

Super cool in our shades!

Lovin' the sun Already a little mommy, Rachel reads to her baby
It's not a good bite for Josh unless his entire mouth is full

Rachel endures her first haircut..

..and comes out looking so pretty!

From Babies to Toddlers

For the record we are walking now - Josh better than Rachel - and hopefully we'll figure out how to post some video soon!!

Josh avoiding a head bashing from "deek" (drink)

One final swing before mommy sold all our baby stuff
The baby area gets a makeover complete with riding zebra, balls, a pillow lounge.....and our very own bookshelf!
Okay, the livingroom is cool, but not as great as our kitchen
After returning from pajama day at daycare, Rachel prepares dinner in her slippers
Josh also enjoyed pajama day, but hasn't decided what to cook yet
Rachel displaying her typical silliness
These are a few of my favorite things...cool hat, Rachel's paci and mommy's phone
Josh can keep the paci, I've got his drink and my hat is cuter! My superhero relaxing after a long night at Mimi and Papa'sRachel snoozes on the way home too - as she usually does 5 minutes into every road trip
