It's official. Being a Full-Time Mom to two kids under 2.5 is crazy... and joyful... and hilarious... and exhausting... and wonderful... and frustrating... and so happy... You get the picture. It's a roller coaster over here, and we're trying to embrace this busy time in our lives with such little ones. Little ones who are growing every day. Some days it feels like we're thriving, and some days it feels like we're just surviving. While the days can go so slowly sometimes (especially when little people aren't sleeping and are testing limits), the weeks and months are flashing before my eyes. Everett is almost 6 months as I post this, and I'm happy to report he is just as smiley as he is in these 4 month photos. I get tears in my eyes when I think about how quickly these baby months are going. He's rolling over, grabbing his toes and toys (and my and Ella's hair), giggling at his sister's songs and dances, drooling like teeth are coming, making lots of noise, putting everything in his mouth, and making everyone around him happier. I wish I could bottle it all up... Ella is blossoming into a little girl. She continues to amaze us with her expressiveness, and we are constantly entertained with her dancing, dressing up, imagination, and love of helping in the kitchen and garden. She is a clever, determined, strong-willed girl who is confident, playful, and loving. They both make us so proud and happy... and did I mention tired? :)
I'm going to stick to February pictures and stats, but I'll post more from March next.

Sending Kisses for Valentine's Day!
Heart pancakes and pink scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Heart shaped pasta, red salami, and strawberries for dinner.
Yes, you're right. Pink eggs are not appetizing, and they did not go over well. Haha!
