Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Party

On Monday, McCoy had his Valentine's party at preschool. All of the moms (or dads) signed up to help with one party and I signed up to help with the Valentine party, along with Addison's mom!! I think the kids had a great time and we were really happy with how the party turned out;)!
The kids had a snack, made an adorable craft, and played a couple of games. The funniest game was the twizzler game where they had to put their hands behind their back and eat a twizzler off the table. It was so funny and I think the kids really had a good time with it! Some of the girls weren't too excited about it though;).
Such a fun party with a sweet group of kids! Even Violet and her friend, Winnie, got to hang out!!

8 Months

January 31 was Violet's 8 month birthday!!! She's still such a happy baby!!! That is the first thing people say when they meet her. She is definitely a cuddle bug. She LOVES to be held and I am happy to do it!!! She loves her big brother and he is able to get the biggest laughs out of her. When he walks into a room, she gets really excited and starts kicking her legs. So sweet! He's pretty taken with her, too;).

She has been crawling like an inchworm for awhile. She'll get up on all 4s and scoot herself forward to her belly, then back up to all 4s. It's pretty funny and it takes her awhile to get where she is going, but she makes it! On Sunday, she started crawling on all 4s, slowly. It is still not her preferred mode, but I figure it's just a matter of time before she figures it out and then it'll be child-proof time;)!

She has two bottom teeth! Her first tooth just popped up, but she's really had to work for her second one. We've definitely had some sleepless nights with that one!

I'm really late on my 8 month post so I'm not going to put much on this one and save some for my 9 month post;). Miss Priss has been moving a LOT more and gotten quiet the personality!!! LOVE it and HER!!!

A little something about McCoy...

Once he turned 4, we gave up naps. He has a little rest time each day and it also has made our nighttimes a little smoother. Little man is EXHAUSTED! The other day I thought he was in his room playing and I went to check on him. He wasn't there, so I started calling his name and looking everywhere!! I was getting a little nervous, but I finally found him. Tired boy!!

Sprinkle for Sarah

A few weeks ago, a group of girls got together to surprise a good friend with a baby "sprinkle". Sarah is pregnant with her 3rd baby and we wanted to do something special for her. She is such a wonderful friend and we knew that she wouldn't give us permission to do anything for her, so we decided to surprise her instead;)!
We told her that a small group of us we're getting together for dinner at Noodles, and then invited a few extra friends that she wasn't expecting! We were actually able to pull off the surprise and she was so excited!! She got so many cute things for her baby girl!! Such a fun night!!!
Now we're all ready for Baby Girl to arrive and for her to have a name;)!!!!
