Valentine's Day

Yes I know Valentines was a few weeks ago, but I had to do a quick post about it. Valentines landed on a Monday, which was awesome for us because It was my week off and Cam always has Monday off. Cameron surprised me in the morning with flowers and chocolate. Yum! I surprised him with a romantic dinner. My plans on this changed a few times....I originally was going to make Cameron dinner myself, then I decided to hire my awesome brother(who is an amazing cook by the way) to come make dinner at my house, Then plans changed again, which turned out so cute. My Family did such a good job at pulling this all off. They turned their house into a gourmet restaurant.

Rebecka was the hostess/waitress. She checked us in and seated us at our private table in the basement.
This awesome restaurant had a free day care too! Addy enjoyed some play time while ate in peace.

Compliments to the amazing chef(Martin) and his helper(Rebecka).

Cam and I enjoying our dinner. On the menu: Steak, Coconut Shrimp(delicious) rice, and corn. Sparkling cider to drink and Yummy Red Velvet cake for dessert.

After dinner we went upstairs to hang out with the family. Grammy gave Addy her Valentine's day presents.

Thanks family for such a fun night. Thanks for taking my idea and running with it! It was awesome!

All About Adalee

Oh, I love this girl. She is growing up too fast!!! Here are a few fun things this girl can do now.

-She stands on her own for a few seconds,She can stand longer(record is 1 min. 30 sec.) but she would rather crawl and get somewhere.
-Loves to play peek-a-boo. she holds her blanket over her head and pulls it down so we will say 'peek-a-boo'....and she giggles and giggles. She finds her self so hilarious.
-She is a good eater. She loves her baby oatmeal, and baby yogurt the most. She is also starting to eat more 'big people' food. She loves bread and mashed potatoes.
-She says dada.....still not sure if she connects who dada is, but she loves to say it. She only says mama when she is sad and wanting something. go figure. haha
-She would walk around all day as long as someone is holding her hands. the minute you let go, she sits.
-She loves to climb on anything and everything. My bed isn't very high off the ground and she has already figured out how to climb on it.
-She plays patty-cake. she is really good at clapping and just recently learned how to 'throw it in the oven' with her hands in the air.
-She can wave "bye bye" but only when she really wants to.
-Her stats at her 9month old check up were: 28 1/2 inches long (90%) and 16lbs. 9 oz. (15%)

I love her giggles. She is so funny!

Yes I know, I'm a big time slacker. I've neglected my blogging duties. But rather than try to catch up I'll just SUMMERIZE things since December. Then I'll start fresh and try to be a better blogger.

We really have been doing well. Adalee continues to grow like a weed. (her 9 month post to follow soon) I feel like we've been so busy, but don't really have anything significant to post about. We enjoyed the holidays and got spoiled, espically Miss Adalee.
I got a new calling. I was sad to leave my cute Beehives, but am excited to now be working with the Activity day girls. They are so full of energy and they are so cute.


I'm drawing a blank on anything else news worthy.......
