Easter Day: A Day in the Life of Izzie Chang

Happy Easter! The Lord is risen! He is risen, indeed!

It is amazing to see how different Izzie is compared to her last Easter. I've been meaning to do a day in the life for awhile, and I figured Easter would be the best time to do it. Brace yourselves for plenty of pictures and videos!

Izzie had a good night of sleep and woke up at 6:30. We usually bring her to bed to give her, her first sippy of the day. Face of a baby who is well rested:


We had wanted to go to the sunrise service in Central Park in the morning, so instead of prolonged cuddle time, we got Izzie "dressed" (she's still in her PJs) and we rushed over:




The scenery was truly amazing:


And of course, so was the worship:


Izzie was good throughout:


And then it was time to rush home, get dressed, so we could head over to the East side to attend Easter services. We usually attend the West side services, but I really wanted to hear the orchestra. The shoes make the outfit:


Before we left we tried to take a (pretty bad) self-timer picture of ourselves:


Close to church, I had to take some pictures of the beautiful flowers that blossomed on the trees that line Park Ave. I'm glad that it looked like it was spring, because it sure didn't feel like it (temperature was in the 30s this morning):


After enduring some chaos trying to drop Izzie off at the nursery (first time doing this on the east side), we were able to attend the Easter service in peace. Apparently, Izzie did great in the nursery also:


Izzie fell asleep on the way home:


And after a really good nap, she had lunch. She sneezed on Al's pants during lunch at some point, getting food all over:





And then we had people over for our Easter supper pot-luck:




Izzie didn't really play nice with Miles. Our next big project will be trying to get her to learn how to share:


But they can still be best buds:


After the supper (which was fabulous), we had some quiet family time. Of course, a day wouldn't be a day without Izzie having a mini meltdown:

After a great dinner, it was time for a bath:


Lately, Izzie has been super vocal:


After her bath, its lotion time! Izzie helps out by doing her face herself:


Then it is story time while Izzie gets her last sippy of the day. In this picture it looks like Izzie is listening intently to the story:


But in reality, this is what she is really doing:


We brush our teeth:


We have some fun family playtime:


And we give good night kisses:


And off to bed we go:


Whew! I am exhausted just recapping our day. Man.... that post took a lot out of me, but I know that one day, I'll be really glad that I did this. =]
