Happy Valentine's Day!



These are the Valentine's Day cards that we made! Aren't they hoot-erific?!? AJ lost interest in gluing things on after about the 5th one but I finished them up for him. Inside it says, "Whooooo loves you? I do! I do! Owl love you owlways! Happy Valentine's Day!" Too cute, huh?

Bath time is so much fun!

Pose much?





I'm trying to teach AJ how to blow bubbles and he'll do it occasionally. Last night every time he went down I thought he was going to do it... he just drank the water instead. Goofy!

Making Valentines

I'm not sure why I haven't broken out the fingerpaints before but Andrew had A LOT of fun! They'll definitely come out more often now!




Look at that goofy grin! These are just the start of our valentines. Mommy has something pretty fun in store for the wee one...

UF Museum of Natural History

I have to admit I thought Andrew was going to be bored with a capital B at the museum but he really liked it. We constantly heard 'oooooohs!' coming from him. He particularly liked the skeletons (especially the woolly mammoth) and the shark jaws. He surprises me everyday!

Steve and Andrew check out what goes on when wood rots.

Andrew was absolutely mesmerized by these. OK, we all were. There were 6-8 reconstructed jaws there. They found the teeth in the St. John's River (Jacksonville) and Cooper River (I don't remember where this river is) and then did a cast of the projected size of the jaw. Criminy, they are BIG and really scary!

The big 'Oooooooh!' of the day was the woolly mammoth.


I just really like this picture. :)

Zoo




Shame on me- I didn't take out my camera once when we were at the zoo last Sunday in Gainesville. Luckily, Steve's Dad captured a couple of cute pictures of a pooped out Andrew. I think he liked the playground (and swinging a golf club in the front yard) better than the zoo.

The Playground in Gainesville, FL

When we were in Florida this past week, it wasn't warm. Just so everyone knows and isn't jealous.







Visiting Grandma & Grandpa Florida

These were actually taken during the Super Bowl . AJ seems rather uninterested in the TV and just feels like being silly and playing. The first half of the game was pretty boring but it picked up in the second half. I was a little disappointed that AZ didn't win. I got over it pretty quick though!




Playdate with Tyler

Tyler & Joe came over for a playdate and the pickup is a definite favorite. It'll go outside once spring comes but for now it's in the basement. I think AJ only knows how to go backwards in it and gets all whiney when he runs into the wall and can't go anywhere anymore.

Tyler is asking if he can get in with AJ. He doesn't really wait for an answer- he gets in anyway.

AJ is seriously stressed out that Tyler is sitting on him. It could be because Tyler weighs almost 10 pounds more than him but I am just speculating.

Tyler is having fun. AJ is not.

So AJ changed the situation and sat on Tyler. I love the look on Tyler's face over AJ's shoulder... Priceless.

Daddy's Hat


Lately AJ has been stealing Daddy's stocking cap and putting it on himself. I think he looks like a little gnome... :)
