Day 90

Happy Easter! : : I captured many great photos today but this one is, by far, my favorite. My little girl looks just so grown up in the pic, practically standing on her own, with this expression of 'I got this.' And I absolutely adore her Easter attire. :)

Day 89

Easter Lamb : : My husband requested lamb for Easter and I was happy to oblige. But we found the lamb wasn't. It was the toughest piece of meat either of us had ever encountered.

Day 88

Asleep in Her Bed : : This is a huge accomplishment. We've been making huge progress this week with getting my daughter to sleep in her own bed during naptime. She always wants to be where I am but it is difficult because she doesn't sleep as soundly now, and I wake her if I do anything besides sit quietly in the same room.

Day 87

Altar of Repose : : Today is Holy Thursday. In anticipation for Mass tonight, we've been decorating the altar of repose with dozens of white and yellow roses. This is where the Holy Eucharist -- Christ -- will reside until Easter vigil. It is not in the church. It symbolizes the fact that He is gone, descended to the dead on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, and returns {to the church's tabernacle}, risen from the dead, on Easter!

Day 86

First Shoes : : Bought a pair of 'glass slippers' for my princess today. These are her first shoes. She's not that fond of them yet, but they will be good to have when she starts walking. 

Day 85

First Knit Hat! : : My daughter was sporting the new hat I made her today. It wasn't bad for a first-time project. She loves it! Keeps her naked head warm. :)

Day 84

The Family Bassinet : : We just packed up the bassinet my daughter's been using since she was born. It was getting to the point that her arms and legs would hit the sides whenever she would move about. This bassinet has been in my husband's family for generations. He, his mother, brother and sister, and many others in the family have used it as babies. There is a record on the bottom of all the babies who've been inside.
