Leo had a big day today! First, he went on his first Easter Egg Hunt! Boy, did he have fun! He went in a rinka-rinka (bouncy thing), he found some eggs, and he played some games!
Then, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Shaffer's house to celebrate Easter. He was a very good boy! He was, of course, spoiled! The Easter Bunny left eggs all over Grandma's floor, and poor Leo had to run and get them to put them in his bucket (with a smile on his face the whole time!)
Then, since it was 90 degrees today, we took him swimming for the first time! Woh, was that the biggest hit yet! Don't think he stopped laughing the whole time, even when we dunked him! Grandma said her cheeks hurt from smiling so much! He was adorable! When mommy sneaked him out of the pool, he pointed to himself, then to the pool, yelling "more, more!" While doing the sign for "More" Too cute!
We started some simple sign with him two days ago and he is picking it up quickly - although he is speaking the words to go with the sign almost just as quick! It's fun though! Our favorite thing he learned today was the word for "kiss" which he will gladly give (at least today....)
Round 2 for Easter with Grandma Beth and Grandpa Bill is tomorrow. We're wondering if Leo believes that he should get at least one present everyday...... just a bit spoiled!
We're asking for prayers for Julie and family, who got stuck in the snowstorm in Detroit on the way to Taiwan and are a bit delayed. Also for our dog, Lilly, who is not doing so great with her cancer right now....sigh!

Glad Leo enjoyed the pool so much! Looks like you guys had a great Easter! Sorry about your dog though. That's so hard...
Per your message, we love Knuffle Bunny and that gave us the boneless shirt idea. And I already made a blogling shirt! It was such a cute idea! You can click through the link on our site to see it.
Wishing it was warm here like there!
So I think *I* want to be Leo! He looks like he is just having the most fun every single day :-) And I am so impressed he signed/said "more" for you! Obviously a smartie-pants, as well as cutie-pie!!!
So sorry your dog is not doing well. Thinking of you and sending prayers your way.
I think it is great you are teaching him sign along with words. We are doing the same with Mia. It is hard to understand her sometimes so the signs make it a lot easier.
Looks like Easter was a blast and Leo had so much fun! I am so glad to see how well he is doing. Seems like you've had him forever.
