Spring Break and a Trip to Southern Illinois

Before I headed to Southern Illinois to celebrate Easter a little early, I had to stop by the doctor's for my five month appointment. I weighed in at 18.6 pounds and just under 28 inches...both in the 95%....as you can see I was born an over achiever!
I was so happy to get to Southern Illinois and visit with my family. I really enjoyed sitting on great-grandpa's table. He would give me a hard time about sitting "on" the table rather than "at" the table...however....I know he really didn't mind....he just likes to joke! As you can see it really worked out well for me...I could see everyone and my grandma hooked me up with some toys!
I also tried bananas while I was there....yummy! And the best part....mommy lets me play with the peeling after!
They also kept me busy in Belleville. I had to manage the icing of Easter cookies...I stuck my hand in the icing bowl and thought I would get away with a quick taste....however I got caught. Hopefully next year I can try one!
My Aunt Colleen, Mommy and I headed to the park on Friday since it was such a beautiful day! Aunt Colleen was funny...she wasn't sure about the whole walking thing at first....but she enjoyed it!. As you can see it was sunny...so I had to sport my shades.
Aunt Colleen took me down the slide....what a fun time!
And then mommy did...
Parks sure are fun!
On Saturday, I attended my first Easter Egg Hunt. But....I did not get to hunt for eggs. The hunt started later than we thought, and it was cold and windy....so instead I got to see all the animals including a bunny and a pug!!!! I was thrilled when I saw the pug---at first I thought it was Bruiser...I was really missing him. Even though I did not get an egg...it was fun!
Animals!!!!

We also celebrated my Grandpa Bo's birthday! It was so great to see Uncle Joe, Aunt Jenni and Clara.
Clara and Aunt Jenni...
Me and Grandma
Once we were back home, I was ready to watch t.v. and relax. What a great trip!
