Some things that happened in February......
Ellie grew! She was about the size of this bear when she was born. At 4 months, she was 8 lb, 12 oz and 20.75" long!
Ellie tried out her new chair, now that she is getting a stronger neck. She likes it sometimes, especially if Ian is talking to her!
Ian read a lot - he loves to read!
We hatched some (toy) turtles (sorry, Laurie, that it's taken us so long to do them!).
Ellie tried cereal for the first time, she kind of liked it. But she mostly pushed it back out with her tongue.
Lots of stories were read to little boys......
We got LOTS of snow! I don't know the exact totals, but in a two week time period we shoveled 12" off the deck one day (and that after several inches had already melted) and another 9" a few days later. This is the enormous pile of snow that was shoveled off half our driveway (there's another pile on the other side), a driveway that has a car parked on it.....
And, most exciting of all, Ian turned 8!! This is him, in the birthday hat his dad and brothers made him, seeing his cake for the first time. He said he just wanted a rectangle cake with a math problem on it. He kind of wanted a party with friends, which he didn't get, so he planned a game to play with his brothers instead. He's very excited to be old enough to get baptized, and to be in cub scouts!
