4 months, a birthday, 5k, and Easter

Sydney turned 4 months last week and she looked so cute and springy in this dress, I just had to get pictures!
Jon celebrated his 37th birthday. I snuck in and decorated his office. That weekend we took advantage of a bye week in rugby and had a few family and friends over for cake and Krispy Kremes.
I forced my mom to do a 5k with me. My best friend Jess is part-owner in a race company called The Pink Series. They kicked off race season with a 5k in Alpine and I signed my mom up as a surprise. She did so awesome and we ran 2 out of the 3 miles together! Here's the funny thing, as we ran in I told her to smile because finish line pictures where you look like you're in agony are never flattering. But by looking at me, I just can't seem get away from it! :)
Jon was a great supporter and it was the first morning he had to get Sydney all ready and out the door by himself! He did great. A little baptism by fire.
My sisters-in-law and some of Jon's employees also ran it and Spence helped out on his bike making sure none of us got injured!
After the race we all crashed in our beds for a little bit, then I begged my parents to let us open Sydney's Easter present from them. They have a tradition of getting all the grandbabies Build A Bear animals with their voices recorded in them. Sydney's is a cute little bunny with an adorable pink skirt and shimmery floppy ears.
Easter morning we relaxed and watched some wonderful DVDs Jon got me about the Savior and a picture documentary on his life. Then we got Syd all dolled up and took a few quick pictures with her new bunnies. The blue one is from Jon and is so soft and cuddly and bigger than her! I love her smiles and absolute joy when she sees us. She entertains us so easily!

Rollin' with the homies

Yes, I realize that is a totally cliche saying that probably 86% of people use when their baby starts rolling over. Deal with it. Here's a little montage to celebrate her 3 month milestones and her unbearable cuteness. Unfortunately most of the pictures are from my iphone, so don't judge my photography skills based on that, please.
