Spreadin' the Love

We spread the love out over 4 days.  Valentine's Day was quite fun and eventful this year.  ;)

Thursday was Noah's Valentine party at school.  He took THE cutest Valentines for his friends.  As we were passing them out, almost all of the parents RAVED about them.  He said all of his friends thought they were "really cool."



Friday night, Noah went to Mimi's house to spend the night and have a special Valentine's celebration with her (bowling, shopping, scavenger hunt, special supper, etc)  We went on a dinner and shopping date with Emma.  ;)  Mimi also sent us home with a plate of her super yummy cookies - even made up a little bag of little ones for Emma!  De-lish!





Saturday night, we had a special little Valentine's Day "celebration" at home.  Heart shaped pizza for supper, fondue for dessert, the kids gave little gifts to each other (and then to us) and they also got to open fun Valentine cards from Grandpa and Grandma - they were thrilled!








Sunday night, we got to go out on a kid-free date.  We considered spending Valentine's with the kids special enough, but this got to be an added bonus.  ;) We went out and had a fun Hibachi dinner and then went to a movie (American Sniper) afterwards.


And then there's these:




Happy Valentine's Day!!!

10 Months Old!

We are inching closer and closer towards a first birthday.... who would have ever thought 10 months would have come so quickly?!?!

She:
- Gets into EVERYthing.  All.the.time.  Noah never really did this, so this is quite new for us.  She keeps us on our toes, that's for sure!
- Got her big girl car seat since she's grown out of her infant carrier.  She loves it and feels like big stuff.  ;)
- Likes to mimic.  Talk loud.  Babble.  Dance.  Make silly noises and faces.
- Stands for longer periods of time and barely holds on to things when she walks.  Now... if she'd only just let go and walk.... we see this happening soon.  ;)
- Plays independently SO WELL!
- Has 5 teeth!
- Is getting easier and easier by the day.
- Still loves most all foods and will try anything!
- Changes almost daily and is more fun than we ever could imagine.  She makes our hearts SO full!  :)

Now.... to bombard you with cuteness.....
