Valentine's Day

 
I had leftover won ton wrappers so I made crispy cinnamon hearts. Pretty good.  
Aunt Lisa sent us this idea. Lewis liked it so he made his own rendition:  
Sorting the loot and read the cards together. The boys got some dollars from Grandma Kathleen and G&G. Their first request was to take one of their dollars to Gianna's for a treat. My mom made the little cake in the middle. We had a spaghetti dinner with Grandma Kathleen too. It was a fun day!

10 Months

He climbed up there with the broom in his hand all by himself. I was shocked there was no large tumble.    
He thought it was so fun. All I could think of was Georgio Frassati. Is that how you spell it? He's 18lb 6oz bc he lost a pound due to 3 months of illness.  
New big boy car seat. Bittersweet every time.
He really likes it when his big brothers build him a little house because he doesn't have one of those...
(See just behind him?)  
Grandma Kathleen had some fun when she heard Elias needed some pants that fit. And that hat! 😍 
He is feelin' like big stuff now that he can play with trains. See that bruise on his head? He's walking a lot now, and he managed to hit/fall that exact spot three times in one day. #bottomteethsmile We cut bananas because they were causing problems. Within 48 hours of being banana free he was a new kid.  
It's been beautiful 60-70 degree weather here so he has been watching out the window a lot. The squirrel was very intriguing...sorry Grandma Susan. He's walking more steadily for longer distances and turning corners.  
He got an ear infection at the beginning of November, and it lasted until mid December. We had tubes put in his ears, and then a week later he got a cold. It kept getting worse so we took him in this past Monday and found out he has pneumonia. Oy. Enough with the being sick, kid.  
Our friends passed on some super cute shoes, but I think after a day of wearing them they are a little too snug. Cute though! 
"My antibiotics haven't quite gotten me over the hump yet, but I'll try to have fun. Weeeeeeee." #thosekickstho #smoulder
Day 5 antibiotic: He's like new again!!!! And having opinions like"I'll feed myself, thank you."

Drawings

 
I taught the boys to play Pictionary and they like it a lot. The other day I was putting my sick baby down for a nap and after the 20th time of telling them to find something quiet to do they settled in on Pictionary with each other.
