A Growing Girl

Good morning all! My mom took these pictures over the weekend. The weather has been beautiful here! People keep talking about this record-cold winter we've had, but I don't see it. I feel like I've been waiting for winter to get here, since we've all been in short sleeves every other week (or so it seems anyway). We went to Rome for a long weekend, and had a great time. We spent some time walking around our soon-to-be new neighborhood and met a couple of our neighbors. They seem very nice, and there seem to be a good many kids on our street, so I'm extra excited!

Christa is now cutting her top teeth. She had a rough weekend getting one of them through, but she's been fine since then. She is sitting up like a pro, now and pulling her legs up when she's on her tummy. Apparently, all you have to do to get your kid moving on the milestones is blog about it :) I put away her boppy last night (sniff, sniff), and Cline lowered her crib mattress.

Cline's new rotation isn't too bad so far. He's got most of the stuff he's supposed to do scheduled, and it worked out at convenient times. They may add a project here or a lecture there, but at least he doesn't have to work nights or weekends for the month! We're looking forward to another trip to Rome and a few days in Hilton Head at the end of the month!

Well, that's all of our news for now. We're going to an Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning, so if I get some good pictures, I'll post them over the weekend. Speaking of Easter, has anyone else started looking for an Easter outfit? I have about 4 to choose from for Christa, but couldn't find a single thing for myself when I went to look yesterday. The only dresses I could find were these silky, flowy dresses with a lot of black and wild patterns - the ones like you see on What Not to Wear. I got one, because I really liked the dress, and it was cheap ($22 at Ross; then I saw virtually the exact same one at Macy's for $98). But I'm not convinced it's Easter appropriate because it's black and white and blue (a darker blue, not a pastel blue). All I could figure is that since Easter is so early this year, the Spring lines haven't caught up yet?? Or everyone else is going to be wearing these darker dresses since that's the style this year?? Or that was the style in the fall and winter, and I'm going to look like an idiot wearing it in the spring??
