Toler's first Easter

My first Easter!
Toler Hartley experienced his first Easter today, and the Easter bunny did not disappoint.  Toler must have heard that the Easter bunny only comes to good boys and girls becuase he has taken to sleeping through most of the night this past week. 

In addition to Toler's sleeping prowess, he has also begun dabbling with 5oz feeds and weighed in over double digits at 10.2 lbs a little over a week ago.  Toler's weight gain is a blessing, however it is sad that he has now outgrown all of his preemie clothes and is now wearing 0-3 month clothes.


Thanks Easter Bunny!
Being born 10 weeks early there are some traits that he exhibits as a 3+ month old, and of course others which you would see in a 5 week old.  This of course keeps mom and dad on their toes!  One trait, regardless of age, that we love is Toler's new found coo'ing and his smiles.  As first time parent it truely melts our hearts.




Toler love's his friends (frog is an old friend from the NICU and the Masters caddie bear is a new friend dad brought home).  Of course sometimes he gets too protective with them and doesn't want to let go!

Phfttttttttttttttttttttttt......
The Smith family enjoyed a fun Easter together and think next year there will be some sweets in 'lil Toler's basket.


Yes, technically I 'could' fit in my own basket...

Smith family Easter '11
Finally Emily & I cannot express our heartfelt gratitude as we continue to get well wishes & kind gifts for our 'lil man.

Love,
Steve, Emily & our little cotton tail Toler
