Little Tidbits 2015 - February part 1

Posted by Amber in Andrew, Henlie, Little Tidbits, potty training

02 01 16 - Andrew was watching Sis at lunch and thought she was so funny :)

He really loves her :)

02 01 16 - Andrew started playing with the string....and then Munchkin thought he should play with the string.

02 01 16 - I try to work out and shower while Andrew is napping because it is so much easier. This day, while I was getting ready after my shower, I heard Andrew wake up and start fussing, but then he stopped. So I finished getting ready and then went to check on him. I found Munchkin had joined him in the crib. No wonder he stopped crying. He loves Munchkin!

02 02 16 - Andrew standing up leaning on Daddy's drum case. He loved playing with the handle.
Also, the middle and right pictures are because of Andrew's fun expressions :)

02 04 16 - Andrew really loves Munchkin and will laugh when he sees him. He also laughed while watching this video of himself laughing at the cat haha.

02 05 16 - They like books.

02 06 16 - Andrew's first time sitting in the shopping cart!
Henlie wanted to push.

02 07 16 - Parallel napping. Literally.

02 07 16 - More napping. Must have been a lazy Sunday at our house :)

02 08 16 - Henlie decided she wanted ballet lessons, and I told her she had to be completely potty trained before that could happen. Turns out, that was the motivation she needed. So we started potty training (again) in earnest. Here she is showing off her first successful sticker earned :)

02 09 16 - Munchkin always must be at my head. This day, he jumped on the office chair and was snuggling me.

02 11 16 - Mommy had to vacuum, but Andrew didn't want to be put down at all. Time to break out the wrap!

02 12 16 - It was really cold and frost covered everything. I thought the shingles of the carports almost looked like they were painted on.

02 12 16 - Andrew trying to eat his roll. Never mind he had no teeth...

02 12 16 - "With parents kind of deed." lol

02 12 16 - She put on my shoes and decided they were toe-shoes. Here's an action shot.

02 13 16 - They're sitting the same way haha

02 14 16 - Henlie earned her first potty prize after going in the potty 10 times :)

02 15 16 - 11 months old!

02 15 16 - 11 months old, still! ;)

02 15 16 - So cute!

02 15 16 - Daddy napping while the kids "read" books.

Valentine's Day 2016

Posted by Amber in Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday this year. We gave Henlie a cute heart in her hair again.

Me and my littlest Valentine :)

Matt's mom called and asked if we'd prep dinner. She had gotten some pizzas from Papa Murphy's (including the heart-shaped one) and a heart ice cream cake from Cold Stone. Devan and Kayla would be coming over as well, but they had to head to the hospital because Grandpa Hadfield had called for all of his kids to come up so he could talk to them. (Does that ever bode well? No. No is the answer. I promise I'll give more of Grandpa's story in a different post, though.) Anyway, so we made a pizza or two and then tried cutting into the cake. Umm, we should have pulled it out BEFORE dinner was started haha. Nonetheless, Kayla managed to cut into it and we had dessert. Since it was just us, they came over to our house for a bit, too :)

Since I was wearing red lipstick and Andrew's church outfit fit the holiday so well, I gave him a nice smooch at the end of the day and forced him into pictures. I got a couple cute ones and doctored them up.

I hope everyone had a love-filled Valentine's Day!

Hadfield Valentine's Party

Posted by Amber in party, Valentine's Day

We had a small Valentine's party on Sunday, February 7th. We were originally going to have a birthday party for Matt's uncle, Shawn, earlier, but Grandpa Hadfield was in the hospital after having a heart attack, so the party was postponed and turned into a V-day party instead. This is another, there-are-too-many-pictures-to-put-in-a-Little-Tidbits post. So.....here they are :)

Andrew with Great Aunt Lynell and Great Uncle Shawn

Game time!

Roxanne, Laurie, and Tanner

Aunt Michelle and Andrew

He really liked the heart-shaped spatula that was in our Valentine from Lynell :)
