Miss Lee is 9 months

Okay, technically these were taken when Lee was 10 months, but still, this happened in February.

 I made some angel wings as a photography prop.  Luckily I had a cute model who was too young to protest.

 Her 9 month stats are 18 lbs. 27.6" Just above average, except her head, which is small.  

 A lot of people ask me if she is really that happy all the time.  And although she is much happier with a crowd of people and lots of things going on, generally, yes, she is this happy.

February

It was a beautiful February.  The temperature was mild.  The trees were blooming, then snow hit us.

So I sent the kids out to shovel.

They did not enjoy it.

It was much more fun when Daddy joined them to build a snowman.

And they got to play.

Sadly, there were multiple snow storms, so we spent a lot of time indoors rocking out.

We also got a membership to the science museum, so we spent some of our time there, and have often since.

January

Johnny had a birthday in January, like he does every year.

I made him a cake and took him to an awesome dinner.  After knowing him for 20 years, I've finally figured out how to celebrate his birthday successfully. 

We found out they had family operas for $5/ticket, so we took the family to the opera house.

They had coloring and crafts before hand.

We recognized the Opera House the minute we got outside because we had been there almost six years earlier when The Captain was a baby.  So we tried to recreate that moment.

Here's him at 7 months and almost 6 years.
And for comparison, Lee at 7 months.  (And of course Miss Joy needed in on the action.)
