We're really glad that the weather is getting warmer (for the most part) and we're able to get out and enjoy it as a family. Cosette LOVES being outside. She's completely happy and content just sitting in the grass, picking up leaves, sticks, and rocks (and she rarely tries to eat them, but I still watch her closely). The picture below is from a windy day at the park. Jeff and I were throwing a Frisbee around, and Cosette was having a grand old time watching us. She looks angry in this picture, but she's actually quite happy.

Pictures from the past few weeks
I've never been great at taking a lot of pictures. But now that Jeff and I both have iPods that have cameras in them, we've been getting a lot more cute pictures of Cosette. Sorry that the picture quality isn't as good as those taken with our camera.

Cosette LOVES music. I give her time at the piano at least once a day. It's fun having a nice digital piano that has songs and sound effects programmed in, as well as a touch screen. Cosette sure enjoys it! She also likes to sit and dance or wave her arm when music is playing, which we think is really cute.
Some days at the table can get pretty messy. Cosette didn't make this mohawk herself - I was trying to get food out of her hair with a wet washcloth (we didn't have time for a bath before bed that night).
Our tired little girl. Yep - definitely time for bed!
I try to sort through the mail at least once a week, but it piled up on me a few weeks ago. Here's Cosette "helping" me sort the mail.
Cosette LOVES to read. Lately we've let her take books with her to bed, and it's been a hit! In fact, I often don't hear her when she wakes up from a nap. When I go in to check on her, I find her sitting up and looking through her book, completely entertained. She'll acknowledge my presence and then go right back to reading, happy as a clam.
Cosette enjoys playing with my iPod when I let her. She especially likes it when I have it on the picture or video setting where she can see herself when she's holding it. I have several pictures like this, as well as videos of her talking to herself.
Jeff and I replaced all of the windows in our condo a few weeks ago, including our sliding glass door. I was especially excited about having a screen door, which we didn't have before. It motivated me to try to clean the carpet on our porch (Jeff and I have never used it much). So I vacuumed it a few times and got it to the point where I would let Cosette crawl around out there (although she still gets pretty dirty - I think I'll have to shampoo it or something). She's really enjoyed spending time on the porch, as you can see by the big smile on her face.
Here's a picture of Cosette reading books with her Grandma. This was taken yesterday, when my family got together for an Easter dinner (we did it the day before because our church doesn't end until 4 and that makes family get-togethers on Sunday more difficult).
Cosette really loves fruit, and she also enjoys eating like a big girl. Little by little, I've been trying to let her practice eating food without breaking it into bites for her first. She has a lot of fun with bananas and strawberries. Tonight we gave her a few huge strawberries, the kind that look like 2 or 3 grew together. I love how this one is almost as big as her face.
And here's a picture of Cosette in her cute Easter dress (thanks Grandma!). This is on the lawn in front of our church building. I like to let Cosette sit in the grass for a few minutes as a reward for being good in church (and she is SO good).

Is it wrong that I secretly hope a little that your next child is an especially rambunctious boy? Seriously, though, Cosette is a cutie, and I'm glad you have such a good-natured little girl. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
