Valentine's Day Snaps

I had to add a few Valentine's Day 2013 pictures to the blog even though it was a few weeks ago. Memories!  Marissa made some cute homemade Valentine's for her class and had a ton of fun at school. I was happy they had an unofficial "no candy" rule at her kindergarten for the day, mean mommy, I know. Somehow I neglected to get any pictures of Miss. Marissa in her Valentine's Day outfit, but she was a cutie, all decked out in hearts. I wish I had been better rested to get up early and make heart pancakes and had decorated the house etc, but it just didn't happen this year. Oliver and Teddy got super cute new matching Valentine's jammies and I had to dress Teddy in a special outfit too, because dressing babies up is way too much fun!

Love Oliver's expression here, I can just picture him giving
 this same expression as a teenager. And, Teddy - climbing as usual!
 

Climbing over his big brother.

Teddy stalking Oliver - as per usual. Loooves his big bro.

Teddy's not cutting a tooth or five or anything.

Waving "Hi", just taking a momentary break from stalking Oliver.

Baby in sunglasses and ties- cuteness overload.

Yummy sunglasses.

President's Day Weekend

Ahhh, I just typed out a long post and deleted it or something by accident. I'm not up for writing it all back out, so here is the synopsis. I've been super sick since last weekend, Daddy was a champ and took Marissa and Oliver up to Aunt June and Uncle Brian's cabin Sunday and they all had a blast. I got to stay home and snuggle little Teddy (who also got another ear infection at the end of last week.) The silence, and occasional baby babble was so restorative. How did I ever think having one small baby was a lot of work? I did manage to rally to go to our local neighborhood park yesterday afternoon, and got a few photos that I loved, here they are:





Hide and Seek with Daddy

Baby boy has HUGE hands. And, they are super crazy strong.

Proud tree climber.

Baby boy would stay in the swing all day if I'd let him. He gets a death grip on the swing.

Best Pusher Ever.

A+ at the Dentist!

Little Ollie had his first check up at the dentist. And, he did GREAT! I wasn't sure at all how it would go since I barely prepped him with a Dora Goes to the Dentist book just before his nap today, but he was a total pro! I love our pediatric dentist and her office is so kid friendly too. I mainly brought Oliver along to watch Marissa and was hoping he would let Dr. S look around in his mouth a little, but he let her do a full cleaning! Yay! His teeth look so bright and white. The kid's dentist had the great suggestion to put Oliver in the chair with Marissa, and sure enough, it put him right at eas. It was pretty cute seeing them all squished in there together too. I have to say, seeing big sis as the model patient must have done wonders of good for him too. She is little miss follows the rules and does what adults ask of her right away. She makes me very, very proud and just has the sweetest nature about her. Her teeth look great too!

Listening Carefully to Dr. Sumalee.

Feeling the power toothbrush for the first time.
Oliver was in complete giggles when she tickled him for real to test
his ticklishness.

They are still so little! Two peas in a pod (or a dentist's chair.)

Having fun in the waiting room.

This boy loves his Daddy, no denying it.
