Firsts

It feels like everything Bryce and I do together is more exciting now that we have Jayda. Not only are they "firsts" for her, but for us also. This past month has been FULL of "firsts".


Jayda went to her first funeral for her great Grandpa Schow.....

Where she let her first balloon float into the sky for him.



She went on her first road trip up to Idaho to see her cousins....

Where she had her first Easter egg hunt. It was freezing cold with fierce winds and she slept through the whole thing, but we still did it. :)

Her first Easter basket. (The Easter bunny i.e. Londi added two more adorable outfits to the basket on Easter morning. Thank you Londi!)
She loves, loves, loves her cousins. I would love to have a family just like theirs someday.
She crawled for the first time and I am loving it. She is so independent and you can just see her little mind taking everything in, learning what everything is around her; vents, tables, door stops, etc. I had little hand prints on my stove for the first time and I loved it. I almost took a picture :)
She has also said her first words. The first one was "mama" and her second one was "baby". She can wave to you now and pull herself up on things.
I guess when you are brand new to this world everything is a "first" but these were some fun ones. We are looking forward to the first time we can put her in a swing, take her fishing and camping, take her to the zoo, and all the fun things that come with summer time. They all seem that much more exciting because we get to experience them for our first time together as the 3 of us.
