Our Valentines

We had such a fun time celebrating Valentine's Day this year. The kids got to go to a Valentine's party with some of their friends at the church. They made their first ever Valentines mailboxes and passed out Cars, and kitty & puppy Valentines. Mike and I (and Colden) went out to dinner together. Grandma came over and spoiled all of us with chocolate, loot for their piggy banks, balloons, toys, books, hair stuff ect. Grandpa sent us Valentines, and Aunt Amy even came over with Jason's new favorite blue Mater! I was waiting to makethis post until our Valentine's dinner date the day after V-day, but of course I forgot to get a picture of the 2 of us all dressed up anyway.

Our 3 sweet Valentines!

Stats

These little guys are growing so fast these days. My baby girl is 1 1/2 today, and her baby brother turned 2 months 10 days ago. Lexie has been playing with Jason more since the baby was born. We also taught her go to go up and down the stairs, and she flies! It's hard not to laugh when you see her bolt down on her butt. She isn't talking much, but she says HI and BYE, and Yeah, and such. She uses a fork and spoon like a pro, and loves to color with her big brother. She is a good eater too. Some of her favorites are black bean chili (anything with beans really), pasta with red sauce, any kind of fruit, roasted sweet potatoes, and casserole type chicken dishes. Colden is such a sweet little boy. He loves to nurse, and really doesn't take too kindly to bottles yet. He prefers to "stand" on his legs instead of sitting on his butt. He still eats frequently, but always goes right back to sleep at night. He sleeps good in his bassinet at night, but wants to be held to sleep during the day. He is getting pretty big too, today I tried on his 9 month clothes and they fit like a glove.

Here are their stats from today at the DR's...

Lexie 18 months:
Weight- 26 lbs 9 oz (75th%)
Height- 33.5 inches (90th%)

Colden 2 months:
Weight-14 lbs 7.5 oz (90th%)
Height-23 3/4 inches (75th%)
