Valentine Love


Mason's family project was to create a box for Valentine cards.  I looked online and he saw a shark and that was all he wanted.  I think it turned out cute!


I attached these to Teddy Grahams for Evie's class.

Evie and Mason's parties were the exact same day and time, so I went to Evie's this time.  I wish I could have gone to both!

On Valentines Day, we went to the Redigers for a family brunch and then Matthew and I had an adult meal and watched a movie after the kids went to bed.  I loved our low-key day of love!

Evie's Very Special Day

Each year in preschool, every student gets to have a Very Special Day.  They make a poster, get to bring a special snack, get special privileges, I get to read a book to the class, and they get to take the class bear home. This is such a big deal to three year olds!  Evie loved having all the attention and getting to be line leader all day.





They all love when Charlotte comes to visit!

Charlotte- Eleven Months





Doctor Appointment:  No well visit this month, but she went in again with bronchitis.  She has had the worst cough for two months.

Clothes:  She is wearing 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

Eating:  She is taking four bottles a day, 8oz each at 8,12, 4 and 8. She eats cereal and fruit midmorning and then again at dinner time.  She loves her food!  She loves scrambled eggs, avocado, bananas, and anything else we give her.

Sleeping: She is sleeping great.  She will sleep from 8-8 and I am usually waking her each morning to get the kids to school.  She is taking 1-3 naps a day.  Each day is different based on our schedule, but she usually gets two naps in her crib.

Likes:  She loves to get into everything...her favorites are the toilet, cabinets, and crawling up the stairs.  The kids know to shut bathroom doors and stop her from going up the stairs.  Mason calls her the Tornado and Evie is starting to get frustrated that she is getting into her toys. She loves being held, especially by mommy, loves playing in the nursery at MOPS, songs, books, and being wherever Mason and Evie are.  She lives in the ergo and loves taking baths.

 Dislikes: being left alone in a room, wearing headbands (so sad!  She will take them off as soon as you put it on.)  She has also discovered that she does not like the word NO.  She will push her lip our for seconds and just give you this pitiful look and start crying.  She is the most sensitive of our bunch.

New this month:
She is such a fast crawler, but now prefers to pull up and stand against everything.  She doesn't have much interest in taking more than a step or two, so walking may be a little ways away.  She is clapping, saying "hi" and waving, and has gotten her top two front teeth.  She has started to give open mouthed kisses on demand and loves to snuggle up against you.  She has figured out how to drink water out of a sippy cup.  Hard to believe we only have one more month of formula!
