The Easter Bunny brought Eli this huge lollipop! I think he liked the stick more than the candy....
Daddy, Mommy & Baby on Easter
About to dig into his Easter crate (1 of 4)
His first egg hunt. He didn't want to put the eggs into the basket.

Basket from Nana
He totally posed for his picture before we left for church.
My favorite pic of the day!Hopefully, all of you had a wonderful Easter. Ours was very nice, but very busy! We got up early to get ready for church. It was the first time Eli had really been to an actual service, and he was a very good boy. I was quite impressed! After church, we went to Nana's for brunch, and then to visit with Grandpa and Rita. Of course, Eli got presents at both places. Later, we went to Grandma and Pappy's for an egg hunt, and more presents. It was basically like Christmas for Eli, in terms of gifts! He was very spoiled. Unfortunately, I had to be at work by 3:30, but at least I got to spend a good bit of the day with family.
In other news, Eli is working really hard to cut a tooth. I can feel it, but I can't see anything yet, other than swelling. He's been rather unpleasant and irritable at times, especially at night. Mommy and Daddy are very sleepy! I hope he works it through soon, so he can feel better. I'm just a little scared about what is to come when he nurses with teeth!
Eli has been working really hard at walking and standing. He loves to do both with assistance, and actually demands help often. He still doesn't seem to be getting any closer to crawling, so who knows? maybe he will be one of those babies that skips it. He's getting less and less wobbly when walking and he goes right towards what he wants with no guidance, just balance. He tries to pull himself up, too, and he's almost there.
Oh yeah, and he waves now! It's adorable :)
