February Fun and a Busy Weekend

All is well with A^4.  Addie is getting braver with her cruising and standing only using one hand for support.  She gets upset and starts to cry when Mommy tells her no (as in no biting)...she definitely understands when Mommy is telling Ayson no and when the no is directed at her!  Mommy had Monday off and she took Ayson shopping for a gift for Ayson's friend, Sam, who was having a birthday party on Saturday.  Ayson helped pick the gift out and wrap it and he did not do too bad in the store, either!  Then, Grandma Collene and Grandpa Ric stopped by on Sunday to play!

Monday night:  Addie sporting the yellow onesie look with grippie socks while Ayson does his best not to look in pain while smiling :)

Bath time!

Wednesday: Playtime with Daddy jungle gym!

Thursday: Addie leaning on Daddy.

Tickle time!

Don't forget Ayson and Mommy!

Daddy helping Addie stand and take a few steps while Ayson runs by in a blur in his skeleton shirt.

Ayson being "Superman"!

Addie standing at the kitchen and checking out all of the sounds it makes.

Looks like Addie is holding on for dear life!  Hmmm, Ayson are you spitting?!?

On Saturday, A^4 went to a birthday party and all of the kids, big and small, went sledding.  Even Mommy and Addie went down!  Thanks, Lucy and Scott for a great time!  Their house is less then 10 miles from our house and while we have no snow, they had about a foot of snow!

Ayson liked the BIG "sled" the best.

Mommy and her Baby Doll.

The birthday boy (turned 2) and his sidekick, Ayson.  The boys go to day care together and Mommy works with the birthday boy's Daddy.

On Sunday, Grandma Collene and Grandpa Ric stopped by for a grand kid fix!

Monday: Ayson and Addie playing on the floor together.  Addie likes to touch Ayson's hair and she was getting a kick out of touching his  feet.  Ayson thought it tickled :)



Daddy and his babies.


Wednesday:  Daddy made a double chocolate fudge tart...for Mommy so that she could take it to work for a lunch party (Yes, Mommy is Very spoiled:)   ANYWAY, we sampled some of the melted butter and chocolate mixture...yum! 
Addie looks like she is wearing very dark lipstick...yikes!



Ayson and the plane he built all by himself!

Mommy's Three Loves.



Um, Yeah...Daddy and Ayson "rocking out"



Thursday: Daddy gave all three of us Valentine's cards.

Friday:  Hanging out with Daddy...it almost looks like they are dancing!



Saturday:
Mommy making Addie smile for the camera!



Sunday: Mommy and her Baby Doll!



A round of "This Little Piggy" for Addie had Ayson pulling his socks off and wanting in on the game.

Everyday Blessings

Another great week for A^4.  Addie has started to cruise the furniture (still not crawling, though) and loves to mimic everyone she sees.  Ayson reminds us to get his breakfast ready for him the night before (so we don't forget). 

Monday:  Ayson insisted on wearing his Superman t-shirt.  In this picture, he just climbed up on Daddy's shoulders.

Look at those LEGS!!

Mumma!  That's MY butt!

Giddy up, Daddy and look, I'm Superman!  Daddy let Ayson watch parts of Superman last weekend and Ayson LOVED it!

Mommy and her babies.

Tuesday:  a picture before we head out the door in the morning.

Wednesday: Up High!  Addie now plays "Up High-Down Low" with us when we lift our arms up and down.

Thursday:  Ayson showing off his spinning heart flashlight and cookie that he got from Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger for Valentine's Day.  Addie loved the cookie too!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! 

Friday:  Look at that smile!

Saturday:  Mommy put Addie in the laundry basket while she was checking on laundry and Ayson wanted to help too.

Ayson's new gloves prevent snow from getting on his wrists...the gloves are supposed to go up to the elbows and not the armpits:)

Shirt number 2 on Saturday...but look at that smile...

Popcorn and pop (well, caffeine free and diet) while watching a show before bedtime.

Sunday:
Ayson finally fits into his tool apron that Mommy and Daddy's friends Doug and Sue gave him. 

By Saturday morning, we had about 9 inches of snow.  Sunday warmed up and the snow packed down to about 5 inches and was perfect for snowballs and snowmen.

Addie's first snowman.

Daddy giving Addie a lift :)

Addie's first taste of snow.  In addition to 2 teeth that have already cut through, 2 more on top are starting and another one is showing though on the bottom...poor baby doll.  All of her teeth are coming in at once!
