Thanks Easter Bunny!

Jack's first Easter Basket. The Easter Bunny went old school with a classic wicker basket, bubbles, eggs filled with Gerber puffs and a cute bunny that shakes when you pull its tale. Poor Jack is absolutely terrified of. It's difficult to get Easter treats for an 8 month old baby boy so we just filled the big bag with toys. He preferred to eat the tissue paper.

We spent Jack's first Easter in the Windy City! I'd like to say we planned it that way, but in all honesty, it happened to coincide with the White Sox home opener that Christian attends every year with his high school friends, aka, the Chicago bohunks! But regardless, I was so happy that we were able to go and celebrate with the family. Mandi and Mike came in from NYC so the whole gang was there. We haven't all been together since Dani and Lionel's wedding in September so it was really special.

We had such a fun weekend! We stayed at the Impastato's because Aunt Melanie still has all her baby gear. And she spoiled Jack with an Easter basket loaded with all his favorite things. Jack had a blast hanging out with his cousins and they doted on him all weekend. Especially Sami - she's 1o and a great little helper. She's going to make a fabulous baby sitter in a few years!

We spent most of the weekend hanging out, eating a lot of delicious food and playing with the kiddos. On Monday when Chris went to the game, the girls (and Carson) went into the city and enjoyed a gorgeous, sunny spring day. We went to Millennium Park, had lunch in Bucktown and ended the day with cupcakes and cookies at Sweet Mandy B's - yummo! I love downtown Chicago and Dani showed us a great day!!

We also made a stop at my favorite kids boutique - Psycho Baby. I found an overpriced Motley Crue shirt and a few others I just had to get for Jack. His daddy was very proud of his future Rocker! Now I just need to get Jack some surf gear in Huntington Beach next week when we are in Cali and his summer wardrobe is complete! No southern smocks and sear sucker for this beach/city baby! Until next time...

Happy Spring! Jack doesn't like the bunny ears so you can see Christian holding his hands down. Otherwise he'd rip them off!

The David Family's first Easter photo...one of many Jack will be forced to take. As you can see he's ready to slide out of our arms.

Jack with his Aunt Dani and cousin Sophia. It was a beautiful Easter Sunday afternoon.

Jack with his Aunt Mandi and Mike (hopefully soon-to-be-uncle) who came in from Manhattan. Mike is probably the happiest guy we've ever met...can't you tell?!

All the cousins - Jack, Carson, Samantha and Sophia. This was the best picture we could get because we had a few meltdowns along the way. Jack is so long, he looks more like a 2 year old than an 8 month old.

Baby Jack with his Gigi and Papa. I love this picture! I think Jack looks a lot like his Gigi here.

In honor of the Chicago White Sox home opener, Jack wore his new Sox jersey from Aunt Melanie and the kids.

Rocker baby! I am embarrassed to admit that I spent $39 on this t-shirt but it's Christian's favorite band so I had to get it. I think he's giving his best tough guy face here. He's saying, "Hey, don't mess with my grilled cheese!"

Our fun day in downtown Chicago! We were at the Bean at Millennium Park.

Touring the city really wore Jack out! It's tough being pushed in a stroller and carried around all day.
