Church Egg Hunt

Our church had it's annual Easter Egg hunt Saturday. It was a cool and windy day for an egg hunt, but it turned out just fine. It took Stratton a minute to figure out what to do, but he caught on fast! They put a total of 1300 eggs out and they were all picked up in 3 minutes! They had a separate area for the small kids, I don't know how many eggs they hid there, but Stratton got 7! And he was the youngest one there!

do you like his baby "aviators", well he sure does! He loves wearing them! We got some many comments about how cute he was with them on, but we aren't making him wear them, I think he is just trying to be like his daddy! He even likes to wear them on his head- pretty funny! He did not like the Easter bunny, but I must admit he was a little scary looking! Later that evening we took Isabella and Alexandra out to eat at Olive Garden then went to Barnes & Noble and the mall. It was a busy day!

This post is a little late! He was 21 months on the 12th!! Stratton is such a little man now! He is so smart and funny. He has an opinion about almost everything and doesn't care to let you know about it. He has lots of phrases, which is fun! And will repeat (or try to repeat) just about anything you say, which is funny- but also alarming! He loves to sing and go to "class" (bible class) and likes to GO! He is really on a motorcycle ("cycles") kick right now. He can spot one 10 miles away! He still loves and talks about tractors all the time, and thanks to my dad thinks that any tractor he sees he should be able to "ride". We are surprised everyday with something new he has learned or shows us! He can count to 10 but rarely does, he counts to 4 a lot then gets distracted. And he knows the letters of his name up to the second t. . .He will say "S, T, R, A. . .then forgets the rest! haha! He does really well with writing utensils and eating utensils. We were thinking he might be left handed but he is favoring the right hand now more, and more. He is a mess (and will tell you so) and we are exhausted from chasing him around, but we wouldn't change a thing!
