The Rest of February

Gee whiz....for a short month, February was full. 

First up, the official end to soccer season! It was nice to get our weekends back, but since Eli showed improvement and skill, we went ahead and signed him up for a spring league that started in March....but the weekends off were nice while they lasted! 


Theo turned 6 months old this month which means lots of gross motor growth. He became a master at rolling and started sitting up more and more. This stage is when the personality really starts to blossom too. Theo loves to play, play, play.....


...and he can go from a happy little guy playing and rolling around to passed out within seconds. Hilarious!


He also figured how to weasel his way out of the bouncy chair, so that toy was retired...along with the play mat. 

 

Why lay down to play when you can SIT UP!


Wintertime in Florida is incredibly short, but typically peaks in late January and February. Lots of chilly days and rain thrown in too. And that means that sometimes you just have to run and splash in puddles!


By the end of the month, the weather started to turn nicer, so we would go outside. Always nice after feeling cooped up during cold or rainy days. Love to goof off with my goof balls!


February was not a healthy one for sweet Jude. He got strep throat, and it knocked him down pretty good. Poor little guy.


...And he got it again a few days after he had been off the antibiotics. Back for round 2...stronger meds this time!


In our house, when you are sick, you get extra screen time. Easier to rest and recover when you have some entertainment, right? Jude was sweet to share with Theo who scooched his way over to see. 


Even though Jonah is our Valentine's Day birthday boy, we didn't forget to make some nice Valentines for classmates and teachers.


Like I said, the winter weather started to turn nicer which meant more and more opportunities to get outside and find some fun and adventure.


Baby toes....so yummy! Even Theo agrees with me.


Jude has been reading up a storm and does not shy away from a challenge. So sweet to see him sharing some Dr. Suess with Theo...and I adore how Theo looks at his brothers. 


Jonah has been doing some big things too. He is so curious about letters and likes to "write" his name. We started practicing J's, and he has also been drawing people. Love watching them grow and learn. It is always so amazing.


These handsome boys and I had a date at the theater. We saw Madeline and ate ice cream afterwards, of course. 


And finally, we ended the month with a surprise celebration for our Leap Day Baby...Grandma! She celebrated her 17th birthday with some amazing women who were so incredibly sweet to throw her a surprise luncheon...in her own home!! They were so sneaky and tricky! And they pulled off a terrific party.


Such an amazing lady to celebrate! And a great way to close out our February.
