February 2010

Moving on to February...still cold outside, tons of snow, and yes, still felt icky from the first trimester! However, this month, i finally started to get some much needed energy back...still getting sick here and there at random times! Oh well, this too shall pass! It seemed like February was filled with a lot of little parties. On one day, Aja had a princess birthday party to attend, followed by a transformer party! The princess party was definitely a milestone for, well, not sure for me or for Aja. When i got to the party, i assumed i was staying, but none of the other moms stayed. They just dropped their child off...i was a little sad that my baby was growing up and going to parties that i wasn't at!! They were all to wear a princess dress...so of course Aja wore that cinderella costume for weeks after the party!! As for the transformer party, she couldn't figure out "why Will would send her a boy invitation when she was a girl?" it was pretty funny! That next day we went to a superbowl party at my brother and sister-in-law's house. And that following tuesday, Aja had a Valentine's party at school that was super cute (i got to help out with)! We had conferences at Aja's school and the teacher showed us a self-portait that aja had drawn...not leaving out...well, let's just say she definitely was aware of my nursing maelee for a year! too funny! Aaron and i got to get away for a bit while his parent's watched the girls one night. The olympics started mid-month and so we had fun watching a lot of that on T.V.!! This month we've had quite a few little playdates with friends and have been getting to our usual spots...library & the y! i feel like i am re-entering the world finally!! With all the snow, we made two big snowmen...correction, one snowman, one snow woman...Frosty and Crosty. Pics will come soon on those... and yes, it's march 2nd and they are still in our front yard...we all have a bet as to when they'll finally melt! I say April 3rd! We made it to the circus at the end of the month and had a blast...i'd never been to the circus before. Oh, and i am apparently a famous cannon lady....Jennifer "the cannon lady" Smith was her name and Aja won't forget that one! Ballet started up again for Aja on friday mornings, so she's been enjoying that too! Maelee has officially been walking since the end of November and really is in full RUN speed now! She's not saying a whole lot, but probably b/c she can't get a word in with Aja around...friends have suggested letting Aja go to grandma and grandpa's for a weekend and see if maelee will just start blabbing on and on! February flew by and i am glad of that one as i am finally starting to see the light of feeling better...yippee!!
