Your life is filled with so many firsts! It's like every day you've got at least one new first! This weekend is no different!! You had your first hike in Forest Park, your first time in a swing by yourself (don't worry it's in the backyard and there's plenty more times of swinging in your future!), your first Easter bunny basket, your first ride in the stroller.

The weather was so beautiful, we knew we had to be outside. Daddy suggested a hike in Forest Park while we were on our weekend coffee walk through Laurelhurst Park (oh how Mommy misses coffee!) You seemed to enjoy the hike. We stopped at one point in a little nook of tree seats to nurse you and potty you. You've been doing such an amazing job with pottying and you definitely won't be afraid to go in nature (I just hope you don't just drop down to pee in 'inappropriate' places once you are a bit older - which will probably happen anyway!) You fell asleep on our hike and slept through our lunch (which meant Mom and Dad were able to eat and enjoy each other's conversation without too much interruption - thanks sweet baby!) the drive, and a quick stop at the grocery store.

We spent as much of the rest of the day outside. Daddy took a nap, so you and I went to the backyard to sit in the grass. You loved it! You kept leaning over the side of your Bumbo picking grass. I even took your socks off so you could feel the grass with your toes. I cannot wait for your first summer when we can spend lots of time in the grass playing!
