Happy Easter from our house to yours
HAPPY Easter!!!!!
We have been home about a month now and thought I would share our Easter pictures. Carlos is doing very well. We are enjoying him to the fullest. He seems to be slimming up a lot. It could be the reduction of bottles, or the change of diet, or the activity level increase or just a plain old growth spurt. He is sleeping thru the night most nights and is down to only a night night bottle. YAY. Our house is complete except for the Air conditioning and some outside cosmetic stuff but that will likely be ongoing. Should be moving in this week. I was going to move in last week but it is too hot without AC here. I sneak onto the forums whenever I get a moment to see how everyone is doing. Not very often with 4 babies 2 and under in the house. Here are some pictures of me, Camille and Carlos taken before Church today. I just added a closer up one from today of Carlos with his Easter basket goodies Hugs to all Sandra
