Special Valentines

I could not be more thankful for my special Valentines this year.

We played it low key this Valentines. Sally was sick, so we opted for Pei Wei take-out and wine at the house. It was a perfect, quiet evening...its the little things!

Wild Woman!

Sally has kept me on my toes the past couple of weeks. Here is a run down of her latest adventures...
~ She is getting very brave with walking. She takes about three steps to get something she really wants. Its cute to watch her decide if its close enough to risk a few steps or if she is better off playing it safe and crawling.
~ She dances all the time. Her favorite place to dance is in her high chair. She also likes to boogie in her car seat.
~ She has a new smile in her high chair. She scrunches her face up and shows all of seven of her teeth! Pretty cute.
~ Yesterday she got in the bath tub by herself! Thankfully there was no water in it. I turned my back to get her towel ready for her bath and I heard a thud. I turned around to see Sally sitting in the tub with a giant smile on her face. Yes, all the bathroom doors are closed now!
~ She has used her nap time to take her pants and diaper off --- TWICE! She wears a lot of onesies now!

Whew! All of this makes me tired just typing it! This girl is one ball of energy and adventure! I love it!

Walking with Daddy and taunting the dogs.
Look at my new face!
See my teethies?!?!

Only 2 More Months to Go?

Little Miss was 10 months old on Tuesday, February 2, 2010.

A few details at 10 months:
- She drinks all bottles now...such a big girl! She must eat on the run most of the time.
- Sleeping MUCH better at night- She goes to bed between 6:30-7:00 and wakes up between 7:00-7:30...on a good night! ;)
- Napping is still a challenge, but we usually get 30 minutes in the morning and an hour or so in the afternoon.
- Loves taking baths in the regular bathtub. She loves her ducks!
- She is very mobile now! She pulls up on everything and has a pretty speedy crawl. She wants to take a step but just isn't quite brave enough yet. I think it will be any day.
- Still loves to eat! She loves anything she can feed herself.
- She can take her pants and diaper off-- OH NO!! She chose to do this new activity instead of taking a nap the other day. She wears onesies to take naps now!
- She loves Cheerios-- and especially loves feeding them to Copper. I think Copper licks them and Sally eats them...nice.
- She finally says "mama!" Sometimes she even says it at the right time!

She is a true joy. Each day she teaches me something new. I love that each day is a fresh start and full of possibility. She reminds me every day that God's blessings are truly new each morning.

They don't look related at all, do they?!?!

MORE Snow!!

We had another big snowstorm last week. Ted was off work Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. We had a great time being snowed in! We made a big fire and played inside all day! However, by Saturday we had major cabin fever. We found the perfect cure at On the Border!
Some pictures of our house in the pretty, pretty snow...




This is how Sally spent some of her snow day...her old car seat is a favorite place to climb now!
