Easter Weekend

We just had a really fun Easter weekend! On Saturday we had lunch with some friends who have a daughter Seara's age and are expecting a son next month. After lunch we all went to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. We saw some pretty cool fish, including Tiger Sharks, and even got to see a gigantic squid be fed. They fill a Mr. Potato Head with food, then give it to the squid, who proceeds to pull out all the arms, legs, etc. and finally open the back and suck the food out. They even had an aquatic petting zoo, where Seara got to touch a starfish, a sea cucumber, a sting ray, and a few other fishy things. It was really cool!

On Sunday we went to my parents house for Easter dinner. Seara squealed in delight when her cousins Savanna and Makenna walked in. She calls them both "Tanna" and talks about them almost every single day (she tells me "Tanna bye-bye" and "Tanna Pama gone" - Pama is her name for both my parents, and we usually see "Tanna" at their house). Anyway, at dinner Seara and Makenna were sitting at a little table eating together and it was so funny because Seara just sat there chatting incessantly at Makenna, who ignored her completely and crawled around the table, playing with their food. After dinner we had a little Easter Egg hunt. Seara refused to hold her basket, so I had to follow behind her with it. She really liked finding eggs and putting them in her basket, but when it came to the candy inside she wasn't too interested. She either opened the egg and dumped the contents out, or else she put the candy in her mouth, chewed it a bit, then spit it out. Needless to say, I took the eggs away really fast.

Elijah didn't really care about the aquarium, although he enjoyed the two hours he spent being held in the carrier. He also didn't care about the Easter Egg Hunt. He has, however, begun following a predictable schedule, which I am thrilled about! He rolled over for the first time on Friday, then he did it again today. I have yet to see him do it, I just put him on his stomach and go about my business, and when I look back at him he's on his back. He and Seara are becoming good friends, in fact right now he is laying on his back, and Seara is sitting next to him "reading" a book to him. Pretty cute!

Oh, the pics are some we got taken a month ago - Elijah is 3 mo., Seara 18. :)
