Happy Valentines!

We had a good Valentines Day. I decided I wanted to do 7 days of Valentines and give my family a little valentine each day for 7 days leading up to Valentines. None of the gifts were big just a little treat or something to play with but the boys loved it and woke each morning with anticipation of what their valentine would be that day. On Valentines Day we had to go to our classes that are on Tuesday nights and then we came home to hang out with Daddy for a little bit before bed. For me for Valentines Day, Michael and the kids made a poster that said in turn for 7 days of valentines that I gave them they were going to give me 7 days of relaxation by cooking dinner and doing chores for the next week.

The boys playing with small etch a sketches they got for Valentines.

Avery really enjoying a marshmallow heart she got for Valentines!

Avery 11 months

Our Avery is rounding the corner toward her first birthday and I just can't  believe she is so big already!  This is our attempt at pig tails with her little bit of hair on the top of her head.  Avery says mama, dada and just the other day started saying Josh or her variation of it.  She also just started walking more, now she'll take 6 to 7 steps by herself before she falls and if she has something to hold on to she easily motors around.  Our Avery now loves food and easily eats more than either of the boys.  She evens yells at us when she runs out of bites to eat.  She sleeps a little bit better these days too.  She still wakes up once a night to drink a bottle but takes 2 naps during the day.  We love our little girl and love watching her learn and grow each day.
