Happy Easter!

Oh, we're only a month late in posting these....

On Easter Sunday, Jadyn enjoyed dying eggs at home with Daddy and hunting eggs with our neighbors.

 

 
Here is Joseph, chilling out, before we headed to the neighbors' for the egg hunt and an informal dinner.

Jadyn took to her little brother quickly and easily once he came home from the hospital, wanting to hold him and snuggle up next to him frequently.

 

Joseph saw the pediatrician about 36 hours after he was born, at which time he had dropped to 7 pounds, 5 ounces.  One week later, at his weight-check at the doctor's office, he was up to 8 pounds, 0 ounces.  Joseph has shown himself to be quite a good eater, snacking frequently, with a lot of enthusiasm (which causes a lot of burping and hiccups).

The weekend after Easter, we drove north to the tulip fields in Mt. Vernon, which we heard were beginning to bloom.  We were all pretty tired in the late afternoon, when these pictures were taken.  But with this much sun and pretty tulips all around, it's easy to smile!

 




Just in his second week of life (in the photos below), Joseph doesn't sleep in long intervals; most nights Jenny's up with him 3 or 4 times, and some wakings rouse the rest of the family as well.  We keep taking pictures though, because he's just so darn cute!
