A Month of Firsts

April was a month of many firsts.

My first Master's degree.  (And maybe last).  Ivy's in this picture.  Can you guess where?  As a hint, I walked in the ceremony last May.

Her first Easter.  (And first embarrassing costume.)

Her first time on a long enough road trip to stay at a hotel.

A first meeting between future friends.

Her first time getting around on her own.
 Whoops, need a little help here.

Her first taste of food other than milk or formula.  (This picture is crazy because I feel like I have a picture that looks just like this, but Jason has a ton of pictures that looks similar to this.)



Ok, I guess, May had a couple of firsts, too.

Her first stomach bug.  (And I'm not going to show pictures of that horrific affair.)

Our first apple tree.

My first Mother's Day.  (Ivy's wishing Grandma a happy day, too.)

First trip to the zoo.  (Albeit short lived.)

Her first birthday party.  (Shown modeling the yoda hat gift she made for her cousin.)
