Easter 2012

Updates on Clifton -
Each day we realize more and more that Clifton is growing up and becoming a big boy.  He is traveling well, sleeping better, and eating well.  We are finally getting past a lot of the things he struggled with.  He understands a lot of the things we say and ask.
He says no to EVERYTHING.  Usually he does not listen and just responds no.  We have tested it a lot:)  It makes us laugh at some of the things we ask and he responds no.

Cute pictures of Clifton at bath time.

Updates on McKay -
She is having a rough time at night lately.  I think it is because of the acid reflux.  How much medicine I give her depends on how much she weighs and her weight is changing so fast.  So I think I need to increase it but I have to go into the doctor's to do that.  We have a doctor's appointment Friday.  Hopefully that helps, because she is starting to fight food a little and spitting up a ton.  Besides that she is our happy and beautiful girl!

 

 She is such a cutie!

Alex and I need to be better at making time for us.  So we made arrangement with some friends to swap babysitting for date nights.  So I made a date night jar with date ideas in it.

I am excited to start going on dates with Alex again:)

I went and got a Bumbo for McKay.  She likes it, but not as much as Clifton did.

Clifton really really wanted to sit in it too.  

 McKay is sleeping in her crib at nap time now.  I went to the bathroom and came back to see Clifton had climbed into the crib with her.  I had no idea he could climb in there.  Next time I will shut the door.

Clifton thinks it is so funny when McKay chews on his finger.  Silly kiddos!

We had a few beautiful days this week.  So we took every opportunity to go outside!

We got McKay's sun hats out because it was so sunny!  We went on lots of walks this week:)

Daddy and McKay's nap time:)

Our ward had an Easter Egg Hunt. 

 McKay got dressed up as the Easter Bunny for it!

We went down to Alex's parent's house to visit and get together as a family for Easter.  I love getting together with his family.  Especially because Clifton loves his Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, And Grandparents.  

We stayed the night Saturday and it was nice to have Alex's parent's all to ourselves for a day.  

Sunday was Easter and it was a beautiful day. Almost all of Alex's family got together to celebrate. At times family get togethers can be stressful but I love them dearly.  

 Aren't they cute in their Easter outfits?

 Love our little family!

We love our kiddos!

 The Peterson grand kids (minus 2).  What a cute bunch!

 Clifton loves his Cousins so much.

Easter egg hunt!

Clifton insisted he open every egg and get the candy out before moving on to the next egg.  It took us a long time to find his portion of the eggs (40)!  He is one silly boy!

That night we also celebrated the family March and April birthdays.

He could not quite figure out how to blow out the candles:D

Another wonderful week!
