21 months and a day

I didn't forget, I just didn't remember until after I had published the post yesterday.  Can you believe she's going to be two, TWO!, in just 3 short months? Can you believe we'll be well into Spring in just three short months?!

These two pictures show a lot of "progress."  First of all the hair, and then the fact that she can totally use a spoon, all.by.herself!

Minnesota Blood

My mom took me shopping on Saturday for my birthday gift. I felt a little bit like Pretty Woman!

While I was out, Reid was back at the fort with Sally. He took her outside to play and would send me pictures throughout the day. We all know that Dads play differently. Take a look at one of the first things he did with Sally outside...

He said she loved it.  She would laugh and laugh and ask for it again and again!

Throughout the weekend she would ask to go outside every chance she could.  She loved learning how to shovel and to pile snow in a bucket.  She refused to come in...was out for over an hour, smiling and laughing the entire time!
Start 'em young!

Miss Monkey! Our friends Pat and Tiff gave us this when we first found out we were pregnant with Sally.  They know our love for Monkeys =)

A quick video of her piling the snow in the bucket!

Pizza Party

On Friday we had my whole family over for pizza.  We were celebrating birthdays, January, February and March! It was so nice out this weekend! We had to get out and enjoy the sunshine and melting!!


Grandma!

Lucy has two fun frilly skirts, she brought one for Sally!

Pink Princesses! Too busy to sit still!

Copying everything "Miam" {William} does!

Jump!
Thank you Grandma and George, for the pizza and cake!

One of my favorite parts of my day

Sally has become very much a Daddy's Girl! She especially loves how he reads to her. He's so much crazier than her boring Mama =)

I love being off to the side or in the other room and listening to how the two of them interact!


Have a fantabulous weekend!

Meggers!!

One of my best friends got engaged last night, Meggers!!

If you've ever met her, you'd understand how very much deserving she is of love! She is a selfless person who is always genuinely excited for everyone else.  She's the first to call to congratulate if something exciting happened, and she's the first to call if you need someone to listen.  She's an amazing friend and I'm so so blessed to have her in my life! I couldn't be more thrilled for her.  Dan, you're one lucky guy! Congratulations you two!

You'd think these next two pictures have nothing to do with Meggers, or "Marsh" as Sally calls her, but on one of her visits she brought Sally this train.  It's one of her favorite toys.  She likes to bring the kitty for a ride. 
**both pictures were taken on my phone and it doesn't do so well with movement!

Doe Doe's House

Sally loves going over to visit our wonderful neighbor Delores! She has a cat that Sally adores (don't worry, I'm keeping an open mind and letting Sally make her own decisions on likes and dislikes).

"Hi Kitty, Hi Kitty, Hi Kitty!"
She recently started watching a little girl, Andie. Love snuggling with an infant!
Check out Sally in the background

Sally is also a big fan of Andie.  She doesn't like to leave the baby behind and often throughout the day, out of the blue she'll tilt her head and say "Baby Andie?" Meaning, can we go visit?!

Brown Eyed Beauties

We were having some fun this weekend with the webcam! Some are just plain scary!
Check out my teeth! Sally didn't like this one!

Sally is a concerned citizen!

This is our favorite! As if she doesn't have big enough brown eyes =) She looks a lot like the picture below!

We're off to the Starkey's for a play date!

**Happy February!! Dear fellow Minnesotans, we made it through the worst...right?!**
