February 2015

Julia, you are surprising me with how "brave" you are! Not only did you stay in Sunday school the whole time, you wanted to do it again the following week! Not to mention you came home excited about all the songs you sang! "Yes, sir!"

This month you...

- had a movie night with Morgan, our new babysitter and you didn't even cry. 

- Brought Valentines to Dad at school...well sort of. Played in the dome, is more like it. 

Classic moment when you called or named your baby "Marvin Singleton"

We had a family date to the hibachi grill in town on Valentine's day. It was a little chilly inside the restaurant, but the cold didn't curb your appetite! You both devoured your noodles and dad's fish!  Somehow I inhaled the sushi that we weren't suppose to order because of "my rules" or cheapness, thanks Todd. Love days are definitely more fun with the four of us to share the love. 

Gave up your pacifier...and got a fish! 

Your favorite people from St. Louis braved the cold and visited you for a longer amount of time this month. They even supported your new wardrobe and didn't make you dress warm to go to the game! Well, you layered and took your clothes off once you were inside . 

I got some great deals on your wardrobe for this summer and next fall. It was fun picking them out with you Jacob. I can't believe how independent you have become when getting ready in the morning, or mid day or afternoon. You have been constantly changing your clothes throughout the day. I guess I just have to deal with it. We will call it your dress up clothes that you didn't get for Christmas, like your sister did! 

Next month we will work on wearing underwear more than 25% of the time.

Were better at flying your helicopters than dad! 

We got more snow at the end of the month, along with below freezing temps which cancelled morning preschool and made for one tired mom! 

The snow didn't keep us from our last UNI home game. In fact you were able to sport your new socks from Pa and Grandma! Hopefully they will fit you next year!

It was also the month where you learned your numbers, Jacob. You especially grew to love and recognize the number 10...your favorite player, Seth Tuttle. Sadly you also learned what it means to graduate college and not be able to play for the UNI Panthers anymore. 

Here's to warmer weather in the next few months. I'm getting close to going crazy...I think I can keep it together for 14 more days!
