February was a cold month and we have had some snow off and on, but we also had about 3 days where it was warm enough to play outside for a little while. Both Dawson and Carter were thrilled to be outside.
We went to the zoo once this month. It was a rainy day, so we just went to Storytime at the Zoo where the kids got to listen to stories, pet a hedgehog, and then make a hedgehog out of construction paper and stickers! After that we spent the rest of the morning in the Wee Play Area. Carter even had fun crawling and cruising around the baby area here this time! As we left it had stopped raining so we got to see a few animals before heading home!
Dawson was excited to also get to pet this lizard!

Carter LOVED this crawl area!
One of Dawson's favorite things we did this month, was go on a visit to the fire department with our Moms of Maryville group. Here fireman Steven is putting on all his gear to show the kids that even with the mask on, he's not scary!
Dawson loved climbing up in the big truck!

Dawson loved this! He said it was like a Gator
for the firefighters.
A fun morning at the fire department!
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of Carter
at the fire department. I had him in the Moby wrap
the entire time we were there. (Which was probably his last
time in the Moby, because he was pushing right on baby three!)
Since the month has been SO cold, we have had a lot of indoor playtime, and Dawson and Carter are starting to interact more and more when they play. I love it!
On Valentine's Day we had heart-shaped
pancakes for breakfast (dairy-free so Carter
and I could enjoy too!)
Oops! This picture got out of order, but one semi-warmer day I loaded the boys up and went to the park to work on Dawson riding his bike. We had a fun morning, but we were getting a little chilly by the time we were done.
Dawson looks like such a big kid on this bike!
Now back to Valentine's Day! Here's
my Valentine Dawson! So handsome!
We made this Valentine's Day cake for a little
Valentine's party we had with M.O.M. friends.
My two sweet Valentine's!

Then we tried to get the same picture with Pop,
but the boys got a little rowdy! I still love this
picture, though!
Nana and Grandad came by with Valentine's
for the boys too, but for some reason I wasn't
thinking and didn't get any pictures! :(
Here's my precious Carter on his first Valentine's Day!
At the very end of February, our friends the Whites drove over to visit us from Asheville, NC. We had such a fun day watching all of our kids play at catching up. Even though the picture below, doesn't show it-they all had a great time playing! We hadn't seen them since the end of summer, but hopefully we will see them again soon! Left to right: Dawson (3.5 years), Carter (10 months), Henry (2.5 years), and Thomas (1 year).
One of Dawson's newest tricks is getting in Carter's crib. He thinks it's hilarious. I think it's funny to see how big he looks standing in the crib!
Then we ended the month back at Tumblebears Gym for a playdate! Dawson's current favorite thing to do there is swing on the rope, and I think this is where we spent most of our time. He was begging me to take pictures of him on the rope, but he swings so fast most were blurry.
Dawson loves it when we go shopping at
Earth Fare because they have his size shopping
carts! I love how cute he looks pushing this!
My helper!
