SNOW!

Shreveport got some serious snow this year! We had a couple days of sleet/light snow, then a day of real snow. I certainly don't envy the mothers who have to regularly dress their kids for snowy weather. It's a lot more work and quite a mess too! My back door was surrounded by wet boots, hats, jackets, pants, and gloves. I didn't let that stop us from playing outside though.

Once the real snow came, we built a little snowman

 Baby James got to experience his first snow! He looks excited, huh?
 We made a couple batches of banana bread. Perry and Mills love to help, aka lick the spoons.

Sesame Street Live

Mae Mae gave Perry and Mills tickets to Sesame Street Live for Valentines Day. Perry had been before, but this was Mills' first time. It was just as much (if not more) fun than they were anticipating. The production was cute and they both got up out of their seats to dance and sing. Mills, who's normally too shy to dance, was movin' and groovin'. I love seeing them have so much fun! They both got to pick out a special souvenir too. It was all they could talk about for a couple days following the show.




James 8 Months

James has continued to be the sweetest baby I could ever dream of...it's safe to say he has me wrapped around his little, tiny, chubby finger. He is starting to get busier now, but thankfully isn't on the move yet. He is pushing up on his arms and rocking a little bit when on his tummy; and he can scoot around in circles or backwards. He loves blowing raspberries and "whispering". The whispering must of developed from imitating some of the sounds I make with him. He also likes holding my hands to clap or do patty cake. His very favorite thing right now is dancing. If he hears music, and especially if I'm singing to him, he'll rock his upper body side to side. It's so cute! Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" is his favorite song. James is always looking for his brothers...I think he's bored when they aren't around. He is finally eating solids, just started this month! He's had applesauce, pears, banana, avocado, sweet potato, peas and carrotts. Nursing is still going well too. James has brought so much love into our home. We ALL love him so much!
