Valentine's Day

Dear Friends and Family,

Happy Valentine's Day! Here are a few pics and videos.

Our littlest guy seems quite word-focused. Occasionally he'll surprise us by saying something. Two nights ago at the end of the meal he saw his siblings leave the table to go play, and exclaimed, "Done, Mama!" At least, I'm morally certain that that's what his sounds meant and sounded like. He'll also say "nana" if he sees a banana. Waving goodbye is another of his new accomplishments.


Today I was treated to an impromptu Valentine's Day parade:



I'm not sure if he's "driving" this toy because it's a car, or just because it has wheels:



Hanging out together in the morning before church (note the person in the box).

Our weather is a constant yo-yo of snow and then rain.

One of his favorite activities: pushing chairs all over the house. He's also started to push the little table around as well.

(As you can see, the table is traveling).



Here's from Valentine's Day:

Making Valentine's Day jello (in a heart-shaped muffin tin).

Helping prep veggies for the dinner.

Making cards.

The "heart people" were his own idea.



That lid doesn't actually go to that container, but he's determined to put it on. He actually works persistently at closing that container on a regular basis. 


Trying to put his own socks on (by rubbing them against his feet). 

Oh! And we had Margaret's hair cut! She seems to really appreciate the new freedom of a short style. It had gotten so messy-looking, with a ton of new baby hairs of different lengths, and we decided short hair was in order for a while.

These pictures are actually from before V-day:

The "before" picture.


And after!
 



Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,

Anna
