Happy Valentine's Day!

K decorated valentine cards for her fellow classmates in the room next door.

They also painted boxes to make a mailbox to put the cards in.

K made a special V-day card for Mommy and Daddy.

It included a sweet message.

Daddy picked up fresh crab for dinner. He cooked it with butter and garlic. It was very delicious!

He brought home cupcakes for dessert too.

K was overjoyed when she saw the pink box. She knew right away what was inside.

The two sisters share a moment of love. K wanted to hold Bella's hand and whispered "I love you baby sister!" in her ear!

2 Week Check-Up

At Bella's 2 week appointment, Bella gained a pound from her last visit.
She weighs 7 pounds and 10.5 ounces.
Her head circumference is 13.5 inches.
She is 21.25 inches long.

Bella has been eating every 1.5 hours during the day and night the last couple of days. Mommy is pretty tired especially at the wee hours of the night. Dr. Mason said Bella is going through her two week growth spurt and should be able to last longer through feedings soon.

Just Another Week

In honor of Superbowl, the different classrooms had a contest to see which class had the most sports spirit. Each child was asked to dress in some sports team and the classroom with the most participants won a dessert party. K wore her Giants t-shirt to support her class.

K has been very helpful. Whenever Bella cries, she is at her side trying to calm her down by patting her.

K was so excited to wear her rain gear. She wanted to show her teachers her Hello Kitty umbrella.

The next day she wanted to wear her rain boots and splash in the puddles.

On Saturday, K celebrated Tyler's 2nd birthday. His cake was decorated with a mustache and tie.

On Sunday, K met Natalie for the first time. When K got home she told Mommy, "Natalie is so cute!"

Bella's umbilical cord fell off, so she got to take her first bath. She enjoyed and found it relaxing.
