Leap Day

Yeah! Daddy decided to take a half day of vacation for this year's Leap Day and take us to a place we could do lots of leaping! We sure had fun playing with Daddy at the bouncy house!


Emery stayed home with Mommy and got a nice nap in. I'm sure he'll be joining us for all of the leap day fun in 2016!

Sitting

Look at me sitting!  I can do it for awhile before falling over.

I also like to sit up against the couch with my bobby pillow.  It helps me reach my toys just a little bit easier.

Sometimes, I fall over, but... 

 
I don't mind because then I just rollover and start to explore some more!

Cutting

At preschool, they give us a capital and a lower case letter for the letter of the week. I love to use my scissors to cut out te letters before coloring them. This week I even cut out the letter S, it was a little tricky, but I got it!

Fun Times

We really like when Grandma Jo watches us, because she does puzzles with Parker and...


let's me play on her computer!


She also let Emery and I watch a little Wild Kratts!

5 months old

I'm 5 months old and LOVE my rice cereal. Mommy shouldn't turn her back for a second when my cereal is within reach. Guess it's bath time now!

Big Boy

Mommy was getting me dressed this morning and thought my 9 month onesie was getting a bit stretched. Could it be that at not even 5 months old, I could wear 12 month clothes? Well, what do you think? The pants are a bit long, but the onesie and jacket fit great! I guess it's about time to change out all the clothes in my dresser again!

Papa & GG

We are playing 5 monkeys jumping on the bed or was that 3 monkeys jumping on GG?


Papa brought us some pirate hats, AAARRRRrrrrrrrrrrr! Thankfully, no one had to walk the plank!

Jump to Sleep - Day 2

Yeah, I guess it's no fluke, 2 days in a row I got myself to fall asleep while jumping - such a rough life I have.....

Dressing Up

We really like to dress up. Thanks for the costumes, Grandma Jo and GG!

Jump to Sleep

I like this jumper so much that I fell asleep while I was jumping!

Sleepy Valentine's Day

I'd say Happy Valentine's Day to you also, if I weren't asleep!

Happy Valentine's Day

Momma made us these Valentine's day robot shirts! Can you tell how much we LOVE them?

Valentine's Day cards for Dad

We thought we should throw together some Valentine's day cards for Daddy so he could put them up at work tomorrow. We made sure to put LOTS of hearts on them, a little bit of coloring, and of course a few bad guy traps. Don't worry, if the bad guys get through the traps on Aiden's card, the final trap is a lava pit and no guy could make it out of there. We're happy we can keep Daddy safe this Valentine's day!

Coaching

We think we can get Emery to crawl across the room if we just keep 'coaching' him to go for toys.  It'll be awfully exciting the day he learns to roll all the way across the floor.

Valentines

We cleaned up our toys in record time so that we could work on making some valentines!


We will do just about anything if Mom will let us work with scissors!


We cut out hearts and...

a few of them turned into Batman Valentine's Day masks!

Sick

This has been a common sight in our house. Aiden came down with pink eye last Tuesday. Then he had fevers and a cough, so we had to go to the doctor Tuesday night and that continued until Wednesday sometime. He had to miss preschool Tuesday and Thursday and swimming lessons on Tuesday and Wednesday. We did send him for swim lessons on Thursday night so that he could pass out of this class. Parker came down with pink eye on Friday along with fevers and the dreaded cough; back to the doctor we went. Fevers continued for him through Saturday night hitting 103.7...ugh! Just as we thought we were all getting better, Emery came down with pink eye on Sunday. Luckily, we caught it fast enough that it didn't get too bad for him. Hopefully, this week is a little better and we'll stop spreading germs around this house!

SNOW!!!!!!

Snowman Aiden checking out how much snow we got.


7 inches!


It took a lot of man power,


and a lot of help from Daddy,


and a couple of shovels full of snow thrown in by Parker, but...


we made our first BIG snowman! Hopefully, we can play outside again tomorrow!

Rolling Around

We are trying to teach Emery how to roll ALL over the living room instead of in a small area. We are sure he'll catch on to this VERY shortly!
