BE MY VALENTINE

Adam and I celebrated Valentine's Day at home this year. Adam sent me away on Sunday afternoon for a pedi & mani while he stayed home to prepare a delicious meal. He wanted to test out his culinary skills and I must say he's been holding out on me. It was delicious!

He set the table.

The meal: stuffed zucchini & chicken artichoke bake

Our little Valentine

On Tuesday, I hosted a Valentine's lunch at my house for my friends and their babies. It was a fun time to just hang out as mommies and let all the kids 'play' together. I wish I had taken more pictures of the delicious spread of food but oh well. I did get a few.

All the kids...this was one of several pics!

9 months

Addison is 9 months old today. It amazes me how much she is changing in her first year of life. I am loving our time together. She finally decided it was time to see the world around her and is on the move (crawling that is). Though she is still very content to sit and play, she is realizing there is much more around the house to play with...like the door stoppers, the tile, mommy's kitchen towels, Bentley's ball, etc.

This is my serious look...(watching praise baby)

Just starting to stand!

I'm mostly smiles!

Bentley is dying for her to learn to throw it!

Loving her puppy dog!

I'm coming to get you mommy.

And I'm so excited to say that the outfit she is wearing was made by me! I got a sewing machine for Christmas and this was my first project. My friends and I have craft days and we are teaching one another different things to make.

Next up...bows!!
