February

Wow... it's been awhile since I've posted and there has been a lot that has gone on over the past couple weeks. So before the calendar turns again, I'd thought I would give a brief update on things at the Humphrey house.

Early February we had our annual Valentine's day dinner... But bigger than ever this year! We had a costumed mystery dinner with a love theme, of course. Couples were asked to dress as a famous couple from past or present, from movies, tv or whatever their minds could come up with. James and I were Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler from the show "the Big Bang Theory" 
The real sheldon and amy for those who don't know.

We had a couple of 'Zach and Kelly' couples from Saved by the Bell, Johnny Cash and June, and the winners of our contest came as Annikan Sykwalker and Padme from Star Wars.

The dinner was a mystery dinner, meaning there was a menu that instead of the dish or drink, or utensil listed was a love song for a person to choose. Some people did have to eat their soup with a knife or ice cream with a toothpick! It was much fun!

I also turned 28 on the 14th. I feel like I've finally hit an age where I am not just pretending to be a grown up... late twenties. I've arrived.

We also got to have Lincoln hang out with us for a few days this month. All day long! Amelia was thrilled and Jack loved having double chaos to watch!

Few good pictures exist of these kids together.


We've also done a lot of nothing too this month. School for Amelia, playgroup with friends, and lots of playing at home.

Bath time for Jack... a favorite


Sis always likes to sit and help entertain during his bath.

Big Boy! 

We also took advantage of a coupon and went to the Children's Museum last week! I haven't been for about a year and we had to check out the new gecko exhibit!

Kiddos ready to go...

There was even a special area for Jack to get down and play. Did I mention I love the museum?

Driving

Dinosaurs! Amelia dressed up and then named herself, Dina Saures 

and we even made it to the carousel and after changing her mind several times, landed on the giraffe!

Speaking of giraffes, here's Monkey in his giraffe pjs just needing a cuddle from his Mom-Mom!

We also go in this week for this kid's 6-7 month check! Although I don't need a doctor to tell me this kid is HUGE! He's wearing clothes Amelia wore at 11 months. 

Here's hoping he doesn't grow out of winter clothes before spring weather gets here...

1/2 Birthday

SIX MONTHS!

Can't believe six months already! Jack has hit that age where everyday he is doing something different, better, or new. 

Hobbies:
chewing on things
playing with sister ... he loves to be with her
waking up early
eating, still, obviously
constantly moving

New things:
Crawling... everywhere and picking up speed
eating baby food. we've tried carrots and bananas.
sitting up. He's still a little wobbly but sitting up all by himself
Dadada. He has started to babble, not a lot, he usually prefers to sing. Amelia likes to run through syllable sounds with him. 

We have gotten skin cleared up all the way, too! He still loves being with people and much interaction. We love our happy boy and are looking forward to how he continues to grow and change.
