February 18 = Help Yourself Day

We got home from the gym this morning and so I brought Liam in first and went back out to get Malia from the car.  When I came inside I found Liam helping himself to a little snack.

February 17 = Snow Day

There's a great hill behind our apartment, perfect for sledding.  So on this cold day, we got the babies and ourselves bundled up and headed outside.

Liam got a little freaked out on the first trip down and tried to put his feet on the ground while they were moving- it took a second for Zachary to realize his feet were stuck but once he did he stopped and got Liam re-situated but Liam had had enough by that point.  We tried a few more times but gave up and headed inside.

I put Malia down on the couch, awake, and turned my head.  I turned my head back around 20 seconds later and she was out.  I had to grab a picture before I made her a bit more comfortable.

Making her more comfortable woke her up but we put on a show from a kids' channel and they both were super interested for a few minutes.

February 16 = 7 Months Day

Here's our little princess taking up a queen sized bed.  Usually Malia is my alarm clock.  I'll go get her and feed her while I pump and usually, before I'm done pumping, she starts her morning nap.  That's what happened here- then I have to choose between waking her by moving her to a safer spot or staying by her side until Liam wakes up.  I usually take advantage of some snuggle time until Mr. Liam wakes up and then we officially start our morning.
 

In other news, Malia Mae is 7 months old today! Our pretty girl has started blowing raspberries as a greeting, is still a wonderful sleeper and an expert snuggler. She's apparently working on joining me for yoga soon as she held plank yesterday for a good while. She continues to be such a joy to everyone around her and a monthly update wouldn't be complete without me commenting on her beautiful blue eyes- they are so bright and expressive. She is just so precious and we love her so very much!

February 15 = Surprise day

Zachary came home with a surprise for me!  I love when he brings me home surprises- it makes me feel very loved!  I love Life is Good stuff... I love yoga... I love these colors- such a good choice!

I'm going to be honest.  These pictures were taken on February 15th.  The title of this blog post is February 15th.  Today, however, is March 20th.  So I have no cute stories that I remember.  All I can say is here is a picture of Liam with crazy hair, eating one of his favorite meals- spaghetti.

February 14 = Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day!  This is a great to show love to your spouse or significant other but I've also found it's a great day to love on your babies too!  We started a new tradition- Zachary got Malia a present and I got Liam one.  Miss Malia got a pretty glass rose from her daddy and on a less sentimental note, I got Liam a toddler computer with lots of buttons to push that make lots of obnoxious noises.

  

But I think Liam's favorite part of Valentine's Day was the snow!  Liam and Zachary went outside and I took pictures from the warmth of the indoors.

We took this picture from the inside looking out- it was coming down!  I had Zachary stand beside me so my reflection wasn't the only visible one.

February 12 = Normal busy day

We had a busy day today!  We had our normal appointments for Liam and then we came home, got Liam a quick nap and then headed to My Gym.  Then we got home and fixed dinner and had friends over for dinner- Amy and her daughter Evie and Gisselle.  Malia and Evie had some tummy time together- they help motivate each other just like Amy and I help motivate each other to go to the gym most days.

 Also here's a picture of Malia just because.

February 11 = Fun in the bath day

Wednesdays, Wednesdays, how I love Wednesdays.  I got up this morning and went to core class.  Core class kicks my butt.  And my thighs and my abs and my arms.  But it's good for me and I get to go with a friend so I keep going.  We were having a rough afternoon so my go to is always a good ole bath.  Both kids love them and they're kept in place so it's a winner all around.  We have color tablets that turn the water blue red or yellow and then you combine them to make other colors- today we used blue and yellow to make green!
