A Perfect Night!

Elizabeth, for the first time in a long while, slept through the night last night! She has done it a few times before, but not since early February. Hopefully this could become a trend?!

Elizabeth's First Easter

Elizabeth had a great Easter! This morning she found her Easter basket. She even tried to break in to her candy!









The first attempt to feed her solid food went well. Here are her first bites of rice cereal.


Someone found not only their Easter basket but their feet too!!

Uncle Jacob

On his way down home for Easter, Elizabeth got a Saturday evening visit from her Uncle Jacob!

An Idyllic Friday in March

Today a wet March snow fell here in Rochester. I even caught myself humming Christmas tunes as I made breakfast for Sam and (sort of) Elizabeth. Emily and Eric brought Kylie over to visit this afternoon. When Kylie cried, Elizabeth (not to be outdone in her house) felt compelled to squeal much louder and in a frequency that brought a few neighborhood dogs to the front porch. OK... So maybe no dogs showed up, but our ringing eardrums were no hallucination.

Elizabeth says: "Keep those hats on kids! There's snow on the ground!"

Enjoy the Easter weekend!

Baby Kylie

The Grant family visited Eric, Emily, and new baby Kylie at the hospital Sunday night after spending the weekend in Hibbing.

Here is a picture of Elizabeth's new cousin.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Elizabeth had her 4 month checkup today. In the last ten days, she has gained over 10 ounces! She now weighs 14 lbs, 11 ounces! Just to impress the doctor, she rolled over from her stomach to her back. What a show-off!

She cried hard when she received her 4 shots, but she recovered quickly and is doing well. Tonight, she celebrated St. Patrick's Day!

Elizabeth's First Sleddin'

Back in February, Sam and I took Elizabeth in the backyard for her first sledding experience!

Kylie Ann Sinn

I have the pleasure of reporting that my sister Emily (Scheevel) Sinn and her husband Eric have had a daughter, Kylie Ann.

Kylie was born at Olmsted Hospital in Rochester at 5:19 a.m. With lots of dark hair, she weighed in at 7 lbs 5 oz and is 19 inches long. Kylie and her new parents are all doing well.

Congratulations!

Back on Valentine's Day...

So... Where do we begin to catch up?

Back on Valentine's Day, Elizabeth got her first Valentine treats. Enjoy the picture - she was really happy. What you should see is the photo of her face when her mom told her she couldn't eat her treats! (Editor's Note: Mom ate the candy, so in a way Elizabeth did get her Valentine's Day treats.)

As promised, expect more frequent contributions to the blog site. Is it spring yet?
