February Pictures

I am way behind in posting pictures, so here are some from the whole month of February...I included the date the picture was taken in the caption so you can see how things have changed in a month!

2/2 - Our smiley girl...makes the fussy times that much easier to bear (knowing we have this to look forward to!)
2/3 - Mommy and kids

2/9 - Joel still asks to hold Maren sometimes, so sweet!2/4 - I couldn't get a good one of her smiling, but this picture is to show off the outfit anyway! I LOVE her in blue...now her eyes are even more blue than when this picture was taken, so it really sets them off. Thanks for the outfit Connie!
2/8 - Joel holding Maren again...I hope they always love each other this much!

2/9 - Jen and Joel had a "date" to the Nature Museum. It was so fun to spend some good time with him...the first time since Maren was born. 2/9 - Cheese ball!
2/10 - Tummy time has not been Maren's favorite, but she seems to do better when the boppy is propped under her. Now at the end of February she can lift her head this much when she is flat on the floor. 2/11 - Leopard on a log...we thought she looked so big in this picture!

2/15 - Brian and Emily babysat for both kids so we could go out for dinner. We came home around the time Maren is always fussy and expected to hear her screaming from the sidewalk...this is what we came home to! Great job Brian! They are going to be GREAT parents (due in July!).
2/20 - Little duck snow suit

2/25 - Daddy and baby

Thumb Sucker

Maren is trying really hard to suck her thumb...this picture was taken over a month ago and she is even better at it now, but she still doesn't do it all the time to soothe herself. Maybe soon?!?
