Valentine's Day
Matthew wrote out his first set of Valentine's day cards for his playmates at day care. Mom helped out. He also wrote out his name for the very first time. Granted, he left out the "MA" at the beginning at the "W" at the end. He says those letters are "just too hard."
Mom also surprised the boys and me with a special Valentine's day breakfast. She made pink, heart-shaped pancakes. Unfortunately, Matthew didn't want to give up his bowl of what he calls "Birdie cereal" A.K.A. Coco Puffs.
Happy Birthday Ben!
February also marked Cousin Ben's 1st birthday. He's getting so big! Unfortunately we all couldn't be there to celebrate his big day. But I was able to deliver his birthday present while I was in town for Uncle Tickle's bachelor party. THAT was quite a night, too. :) What happens at a bachelor party, stays at the bachelor party.
The "Blizzard" of 2008
Meteorologists may argue if it was truly a blizzard, but there's no question it was a big storm that left Columbus under a record amount of snow (20+ inches)!! Christie documented history by taking pictures of our backyard. Matthew turned the family room into a huge fort, and Adam played with all of his toys. I had to work most of the weekend (not to mention I was really sick too-- another sinus infection!) And poor Roxie, she could barely get around in all that snow! Christie had to dig out a pathway every time Roxie needed to go out. And a big thanks to our neighbors the Blackstones for helping us dig out our drive way.
Other Milestones
Matthew is finally able to pedal his red race car around the basement. Just wait until we get him outside!
And Adam is just happy to sit up and play with all of his toys. He's also rolling to get around. He finally figured out how to roll from his belly to his back. Next step... dare I say... crawling! Yikes!
