February 2012

We had a fun walk on the river trail

to the tree swing. Emma liked to swing

on my lap and throw rocks in the river.

Megan brought her friend. They walked extra

on the trail since they're practicing for the handcart

trek they're going on this summer in Wyoming.

Zachary loved the tree swing, and had fun

riding his scooter on the trail.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Eddie and I stayed at the Hine's Mansion for a

Valentine's getaway.

Eddie, Joshua and Megan went skiing on President's Day,

as well as on a weekday the next week - had to miss school.

We went to the park to play and feed the ducks

while the others were skiing.

Happy 7th Birthday, Zachary! He had a great time

with his friends at Nickel City to celebrate.

We also celebrated with the cousins on Sunday -

two other cousins had birthdays the same week!

Emma turned 18 months at the end of February - yay!

She is walking mostly on her own, but still likes to hold

onto something while walking (a hand, a stroller, a wall).

She is saying more words now and loves her brother,

Zachary, a lot - he always makes her laugh and hugs her.

She has grown a lot and is now 26 percentile in weight (up

from 6 percentile at 15 months), 37 percentile in height,

and 85 percentile in head size.
