Happy Easter!!

This year's Easter was definitely unconventional for the Cox family, but still so wonderful! Due to bed rest, we weren't able to go to church this morning but we did enjoy a nice, quiet morning at home. Jacob was up early (as always!) and was so excited when I told him it was Easter morning! He came downstairs to find the eggs hidden around as well as his basket filled to the brim with all sorts of goodies!

With his birthday and Christmas so close together, Easter is a great time for the "Easter Bunny" to get a few new toys for Jacob! They were all a big hit!!

One of Jacob's favorite toys was the game Hungry Hungry Hippo! He spent most of remainder of the day playing either with Mommy, Daddy, or alone!

Jacob in his Easter best, ready to go to Mim and Poppa's house!

We headed to Mim and Poppa's house for yet another egg hunt in the front yard followed by a delicious lunch (and lots of time on the couch for Mommy!). The house was full with all six cousins present as well as Grandaddy and CiCi! Luckily, we were able to enjoy the egg hunt before the rain came!

Searching for the coveted golden egg! Jacob did find it, unfortunately we didn't get a picture!!

Cousins!!

Easter Eggs!!

Jacob has been so excited for Easter this year! As he gets older, holidays just get more and more fun! He has been talking about the Easter bunny and egg hunts for weeks now, so it's fun to finally enjoy some of those activities! Unfortunately, our church didn't have the Eggstravaganza this year, but we're trying to make up for it with plenty of fun activities at home. This is our last weekend of just the three of us, so it's even more incentive to do some special things together.

Of course, Jacob was so excited about yellow, his favorite color!!

Waiting patiently for the colors to absorb.

Jacob was so careful transferring the eggs from the cups to the holder to dry!

What a fun spring activity!!!

Easter 2009

Cutest. Diapers. Ever

The diapers I ordered from The Honest Company arrived this afternoon and I couldn't be happier! First off, they are absolutely TINY but also come in the cutest prints! I have been reading up on the company and the diapers for a few weeks and was excited to finally place my order earlier this week. I was also sent the skull and crossbone diapers, but they aren't really my style and I probably won't reorder that print in the future. Each month, a new shipment of diapers and wipes arrives on your doorstep, all you need to do is make sure the settings in your account are updated and you change the size you need. The diapers are 100% non-toxic, chlorine free, sustainable and biodegradable. I look forward to trying them out on our little guy and am hoping they work well also!!

Muffin Man

With one week to go before Jonah's arrival, Jacob and I enjoyed some mommy/son time in the kitchen! He loved using his kitchen tools he received at Christmas, if only he'd actually eat the muffins!

It's hard to believe that in a little over a week we'll be welcoming another little newborn into the Cox family!!!
