February has been such a busy month for us! I've been running around since the beginning of the month trying to get Kaitlyn's birthday decorations and just planning it in general. We are going to have a Cinderella themed party at our house. We finally got the swingset from my parents set up this weekend and this coming Sunday we will be celebrating Kaitlyn's third birthday! Do not worry - I am fully prepared to take tons of pictures and post them all!
Lauren is just growing like a weed too! She's got a tooth coming in so she's been extremley fussy. I feel terrible for her! I wish there was a way to help it not hurt as bad as it does, but I know it'll pass. Last night she also started scooting her legs under her, all she needs to do is learn how to push up on her arms and pretty soon she's going to be crawling everywhere. I can't believe that she's going to be four months either. It's just crazy to me how fast the girls are growing. Brandon's so suprised when he sees something new that Lauren's doing. She's still such a happy baby, even with the teething. She's always smiling and cooing and just being her cute self.
Kaitlyn has started being a bit harder for me to control. Last week she drew with a pen all over our new couch cushion, she ripped our chair, and today she broke the screen door off of our backdoor. I've always heard of the Terrible Two's so this was pretty suprising. She's still having a hard time potty training, but she does remember to go #2, and now all we really have to work on is #1.
We recently celebrated my mom's birthday and were all suprised to find out that she and her long time beau Billy got married on the 8th! We are all so happy because Billy is really such a great person! He's been there for both of my girls births, and is there for us in general. I couldn't imagine it being anyone else!
Kaitlyn has made some new friends too. During the week Grannie aka Crystal will come over and take her to the park, and they met a little girl named Riley. We went to her third birthday on the 7th. It's pretty neat that they happened to meet because Riley and Kaitlyn are the same age, and they both have little sisters, Olivia and Lauren - who are also the same age! We also met a family at Walgreens one day. I had gone to pick up some photos and Kaitlyn met a little girl (who was with her dad in the parking lot) and they started running around and playing. When talking to the dad, I found out that they had just moved down from Oregon and they didn't really know anyone. I let him know that they were more than welcome to come to Kaitlyn's party (they didn't have to bring a gift!). I went inside and met his wife and let her know what I had spoke with her husband about. I'm usually too shy to approach people like that, but I'm happy I did.
Brandon and I were able to have some kid-free time this Valentine's day also. Crystal came and picked up Kaitlyn early that morning and took her to see Sesame Street Live. I was so proud of Kaitlyn because this is the first year that she stayed and watched the entire show! After they saw that, she and Grannie took a nap, and around 5PM we took Lauren to stay with them. Brandon and I went bowling with our friends Sandy and Jason, and afterwards we went out to dinner. It was a very nice day! Oh, and I forgot to mention that Brandon suprised me with the most beautiful pink roses!
Here are some pictures from this month. :)
