Valentine's Day and more...

We had a great Valentine's Day. We woke up and since it was Saturday that meant that it was "pancake day." In case you haven't heard about "pancake day," it is every Saturday at our house. Kaylie and Jeremy get up and go downstairs and make pancakes for all of us. Kaylie loves to help her daddy. When Landon gets up, I get up with him and we go downstairs and all eat pancakes. It's a fun tradition that Jeremy started with Kaylie and believe me she knows that after Friday comes, "pancake day." After we ate our breakfast we gave the kids their presents. Kaylie got some utensils to use in her kitchen and Landon got an Elmo doll and book since he loves Elmo right now. Daddy got the kids balloons which they loved and he got me beautiful flowers. We ended the day by heading to Indy to have dinner with my brother and Kady. My parents were kind enough to offer to watch all 4 kids while we had a nice dinner out.



Here are some other pictures from the last few weeks. Kaylie is really big into playing mommy and playing with her baby dolls. You rarely find Kaylie not holding a baby doll during the day. She is so fun to watch because she is a very caring little mommy and loves to dress, feed, and have parties for them. Here is one of her favorite dolls, "Lucy." Her other favorite doll is one of my old dolls, "Sally."





Landon is still learning new tricks. He is now trying to use a spoon. He does well but if it gets too slow he will drop the spoon and go back to using his hands.



Here is a picture from bath time. I just thought it made him look so old. :(



Our little boy is turning into a boy who loves to climb and get into my cabinets. We now have locks on every cabinet and have to make sure the gate is always closed or he is up the stairs in no time. He is almost 15 months now so he decided that he needs to walk up the stairs like his big sister. We usually find him walking up the stairs like the picture below. He actually does really well with it but the problem is he tries to come down using the same technique and it scares me he will fall head first.


And here are my 2 babies...


I will post some videos in case you would like to watch some of their new tricks.
Here is Kaylie saying all of the sounds to her letters. We are now working on recognizing what the letter looks like.

Here are 2 videos of Landon talking. These are a few of his words that he says often. He just learned the word blue and yellow the other day during bath time.

The videos are sooo cute! I love being able to see them in action. Love the alphabet sounds and Landon's words! And pancake day sounds like a great tradition, how fun!
