April Fools!

Has she tricked me by sleeping through the night last night :)

Our little one has been quite busy since my last post.  Not only is she crawling but she's standing up (pulling up) on anything and everything, and loves climbing the stairs.

We had a great time in Florida.  There was a long delay on our outbound flight and Liza took it really well.  We arrived in the middle of the night, and we were dead tired the next day, but soon we were back to normal and enjoying Florida.

My mom and Greg met us in Tarpon Springs for lunch, then came back to the house for the night.  This gave Ryan and I a chance to go out to breakfast and have a little 1 on 1 time.  When my parents moved on south we went to Myakka State park and saw some gators along the water.  We walked Celery Fields each morning, visited Caspersen Beach (our favorite!) and Bradenton beach.  We had some really good food, my favorite being a seafood lunch at The Seafood Shack in Cortez.

Each night we watched the Westminster dog show and had key lime pie!  Liza had a great time crawling all around the house and seeing palm trees and ocean for the first time.  We can't wait to go back again.

March flew by!  We had some nice days and Liza and I took advantage and walked out side a lot.  We are part of a group called "Hike it Baby" and April starts a challenge to log 30 miles in 30 days.  If it doesn't rain today we will get started!

Our second session of Music Together has started, and our friends Shannon and Tyler are in class with us.  They are also in our storytime group with our other friends Angela and David.  We scored another Spanish childrens' book at the end of the last session.  Liza has been really loving being read to lately, and I even catch her "reading" by herself.  Its so cute!

We've been hanging out with our other friends from Mom Group - Beth and her baby Thea.  We walked with them yesterday and enjoyed the fresh air.  However, I did come home with a few mosquito bites - of course!

We have a big consignment sale coming up in a couple weeks, and I'm selling a bunch of stuff that Liza has outgrown.  I'm excited to get her some nice new things at great prices.  My mom will be coming down to help me get all my stuff to the sale and shop.  She'll be able to make it to the library with us too!

We had a great Easter, although it went fast.  We were able to go to Canfield and enjoy brunch with the Pannunzio's and visit with Baba too.

Someone is awake - gotta run!
