Happy Valentine’s Weekend!

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:20 pm by Katrina

Happy Valentine’s Weekend! On Thursday morning, Jonathan took us all out to brunch in Silver Spring. We had a wonderful breakfast and Aliyah loved being with her daddy. We all happily danced together and ignored the cheesy 80s songs! Aliyah had such a good time as a family, that she spontaneously said “I wuff you Daddy.” I think I might have seen a tear in Jonathan’s eye!

Aliyah has been talking and learning new words so fast recently. When we are out, I am particularly protective about conversations that she overhears since I don’t want to be correcting words like “fool” or “stupid” or worse!!

She has started singing songs too. I have been singing the lullaby from Dumbo “Baby Mine” since she was born. A few weeks ago, she started singing it to me! Needless to say, I was flattered–despite the monotone voice!

Emotions are also a hot topic with Aliyah. She loves to identify emotions like happy, sad, and mad. She hears a crying baby and says “Baby sad!” She trying to look mad sometimes, but mostly I just laugh at her and she can’t hold it any longer. My favorite, though has been happy. Particularly when the whole family is together, she loves to tell us that she’s happy–or tell us that we’re happy.

On Wednesday, we celebrated Valentine’s Day with our Mom’s Group friends. We really celebrated Violet’s 2nd bday! Here are several of the kids enjoying red cupcakes! Happy Birthday Violet!

I’ve updated gallery with a few more photos. Jonathan has been working on the code of the site. You can now add comments!! We’ll finish the upgrades (and colors) soon!
