The short month of February

Some random photos...

Lately he has been into climbing up the back of the couch

And wanting to eat anything and everything his momma is.

This night it happened to be pizza

And gummy snacks - notice the beggar Georgia waiting for something to fall on the ground

More snow

Bennett wasn't a fan

Not amused

He prefers to observe the snow from the warmth of indoors

I love this photo of him :)

Saw this when I was driving to lunch the other day. It looked very real at first! Totally made me do s double take!!!

Creative!

I run on dunkin

Bennett was playing upstairs with daddy! I think he enjoyed being able to see me from up there!

He is very into doing things he know will make momma or daddy run after him... Like crawling really quickly into the kitchen to play with the dog's water bowl. He will take off and then start laughing when he knows he is being chased. He loves being chased.

Chris has a sweet tooth and apparently so does Bennett. He usually only begs me for food/ but tonight daddy was the sucker! And boy did mint Oreos make s mess!

Love this blank stare of not understanding why momma is taking so many photos

Passed out cuddle bug!

First snow day of 2015

The other day when I posted "snow"... That was nothing compared to this week! We got between 7-10 inches overnight.

It snowed and then froze - which resulted in a mess. Chris and I both had "snow days" off work so we kept Bennett home from school too

I went outside to document our snowfall and ended up with a ton of snow in my shoes! I was not prepared for how deep the snow was.

When Chris shoveled the back - he wore flip flops... At least he had real shoes when he did the front - although one of our neighbors was giving him s hard time for not wearing a coat.

Bennett learned how to walk in his walker... He needed a little help but was thrilled he could "walk" on his own!9

We had a long day of playing... And it ended with him falling asleep while we watched the latest episode of Downton Abbey

Boxes

Chris and Bennett went upstairs the other day and Chris was the only one who came down...

- So I asked where Bennett was and he said he was still upstairs

And then he leaned down

He played in this diaper box for a good 30 minutes

So much fun!

Bennett's1st Valentine's Day

Bennett's class was going to do a Valentine's Day exchange so I wanted to do something cute. Katie helped me research different ideas and I decided on the following -

This was my intention:

This is how is actually turned out. Wish I could have gotten the lollipop to be in his hand but it just didn't work out that way. Oh well! Everyone at school still thought it was cute!

My wonderful husband surprised me at work by sending flowers

Elyse Ray-fuss

And the sweet card ((swoon))

Bennett's school had a "wear pink or red"day for Valentine's Day. I originally I thought we could find one of his UofA shirts - but most of them are blue. So I found the i<3NY shirt that Auntie Katie got him! It was perfect for Valentine's Day!

This was when I went to see him at school
