Here is a shot of Sienna diving into her birthday cupcake!! 
It's true, we spent my birthday celebrating Sienna's birthday. Then we went home and relaxed for a while and Alex went and picked up carry out sushi and a birthday cake for me. Alicia was a really good girl the whole day, and it seemed like she knew that she was supposed to be extra good for her mommy. This was a good end to a week that was not so good for Alicia, and just as I was suspecting from her cranky mood all week, I felt a big molar popping through the other day. So, it was a relief to know that her crankiness and pickiness with food had a cause.Alex and Alicia made me feel very special on my birthday, and my phone was ringing off the hook all day from everyone calling to say hi. So it was a special day, and I went to bed feeling as though my birthday couldn't have been any better...I loved the day with my little family.
We celebrated Easter with Alex's family at his parents house. They set up a little Easter egg hunt for Alicia in the backyard. I think that some of them were doubtful of her skills, but she caught on right away, and loaded up her basket by herself, finding every egg and racing on to the next one. Here are a couple of shots, it was really cute!!
I love this one, you can she that she is focused on the egg she is approaching!! (So what if the eggs weren't really hidden, she's only fifteen months old, give her a break!!)
A family shot while Alicia proudly holds up her basket full of all the eggs that she collected!!
This was a quick shot of my time with Alicia just before the hunt...I gave her a little pep talk, which seemed to pay off.
We ended our Easter sunday by going over to swim at Ken and Silvia's...Alex and Alicia didn't get in the water until about 7, and Alicia was so exhausted that she barely moved, but she definitely enjoyed her first swim of the season with her daddy. The water was heated to about 90 degrees, so it was just like her little bath at the end of the night.
And this is for anyone who thinks that my duck story was exagerated. I made Alex go back to the park with me to feed the crazy ducks again while I took a few pictures. Here are the shots of some of the ducks. You can see the normal duckks, and then the monsters in this picture with the red heads.
And this is one of the crazy ones with an afro type of crown thing on its head!
Seriously, just a bunch of UGLY ducks!!! Alex agreed with me about how mean and nasty these birds were...especially after he got pecked in the leg three times! He even hit a duck a few times to push it back. If you get a close up of this picture, you can see the variety of odd ducks surrounding Alex and Alicia...so it was by no means an exageration!!
