This year officially marked Sophie's second Easter, but for me, it was really her first true Easter. She was only nine days old last Easter, and to be blunt, it was not the most enjoyable holiday. Sophie had just decided the night before that she would only sleep on my chest, and we were in the midst of sleep deprivation and nursing difficulties. This year promised to be a much happier day; I envisioned Easter egg hunts, beautiful smocked dresses, and special time with family. I was not disappointed! We started with my ABPA Easter egg hunt the Wednesday before, and then traveled to Houston to spend the weekend with our families. Saturday we had a delicious breakfast buffet complete with an egg hunt, pony rides, a petting zoo, and the Easter bunny at Houston Country Club with my in laws. Sophie loved the Easter bunny, and literally propelled herself into his lap from her daddy's arms. No fear. Sunday everyone else went to church, Sophie took a nap, and then we had Easter brunch at The Houstonian Club with my family.
Easter weekend was also special because Sophie started walking. She began taking steps on Good Friday, and by Easter Sunday she was walking around my parents patio. They were overjoyed to be able to share this special moment with us, and Steven and I both got emotional. It was a great start to Sophie's first birthday week. But, that's another blog.......
