Lately

 Let's be honest.  These all look the same.  But I can't pick just one.

 My once-upon-a-time bully child has turned into this loving, tender, WONDERFUL big sister.  For the most part.  She has the occasional moment where she'll beg to hold her and then say, "watch mom!", and proceed to thrown her down....but she's learning fast that she gets in big trouble for that.

 The weather has been unreal this month.  Mid 70's all day, so we have been taking advantage before it's too hot to go outside.  AND, my kids are slowly overcoming their fears of being outside alone.  They do way better when I am outside with them, but there is the occasional day where they play happily together out there while I get things done in the house.  It's pretty magical.

February

 My brothers are hotter than your brothers.

And know how to fix things, no matter what it is.

 My sisters are cooler than your sisters.

And open up bakery's, flawlessly.

 My husband is cooler than your husband.

And is a pro at using his birthday bow-and-arrow.

 

 My dad is cooler than your dad.

And takes his granddaughters on a special Valentine's day outing every year.

 And my baby still has more ureter tubes than your baby.

haha!!!!

But we are finally scheduled to have that sucker deflated so her kidney can (hopefully) go back to its normal size and become healthy again.  If not, she will go back to have the kidney removed.  Fingers crossed that doesn't happen!

 Sage working on her "Penguin Report"

 Working on their Valentine's!  We were super boring with ours this year.

 Girlfriend still hates baby food.  Like, HATES it.

January Wrap

Apparently January has come and gone.  Whoops.  Here's a quick recap!

Inappropriate?  Oh well.  They LOVE getting to shower in mom and dad's "big" shower.

 Loads of park days and beautiful weather

 This kiddo continues to cause trouble on the daily.

 I've been loving my one-on-one time with Miss C while Sage is in school and her little sisters are napping.  She is such a fun little side-kick!

 I've tried to feed Ivy all sorts of baby foods.  From rice cereal, to homemade pears and sweet potatoes...she is completely clueless to all of it.  And she seems to hate everything.  So that's great.  She seems to want more milk lately--like at least 8 oz per feeding, so I'd really love it if she would start eating solids!  Formula is so friggin expensive.

 Sure love this lil baby of mine.  She and her cousin Reese are 4 weeks apart and both the perfect little handfuls.
