Fun times with todders and a visit from Nana

Seriously, you have to do something to stay sane up here in the cold. So we busted out the inflatable pool and fun balls. The kids LOVED it. After a week of having a pool in my living room, I don't love it so much anymore, but they still love it. =) Matteo is especially a pro at getting in and out.

My little cruiser! He walks all the way up and down the hallway with his push toys! Soon he will really be walking on his own! He already takes like 5 or 6 steps, but then decides he can crawl faster so he'll sit himself down and go crawl. Stinker!

Here comes Matteo!

We have this fold up playhouse that Sebastian has always loved. Now Matteo loves to go play in it too. He loves peek-a-boo and crawling in and out to surprise you. It's the cutest thing, but no one can make him laugh more than his brother. I think it's one of their favorite games these days.

I pulled out my Cheerio Cookbook since both boys are such fans these days. We made these "Cheerio Surprises" the other day to take to Titi Arlyn's for dinner. Sebastian had fun hiding a mini-marshmallow surprise in each one.

Cuddle time with Nana!

Having a belated birthday party for Nana.

Matteo finally woke up, but he was a sleepy zombie for a bit. Such a sweet sleepy face!

We decided to let him have a little practice with some cake before his big day next month. He knew exactly what to do!

Trying to get a picture on Valentines Day before church. Yeah. Not happening.

My baby.

Darlene (my MIL) invited us out for breakfast on Valentines Day. We happened upon a little Spanish restaurant complete with a Cuban guy playing music! He gave Sebastian a maraca and that was all he needed. Both boys had a great time dancing and we all enjoyed a marvelous breakfast! We can't wait to go back and try it sans-children sometime. =)

Happy boy.

Bye bye Nana! We had so much fun with you this weekend and can't wait to see you again in a few weeks!
