Okay...so this bi-weekly post thing has become somewhat of a habit. Well, it is a bad habit that I am going to do my best to break! We've had a pretty low key couple of weeks. We are still fighting through the freezing cold weather, but are hoping for a heat wave soon. We have started to get Adalyn's new room in order to make room for our little guy. Derek painted the room and put together the furniture over the past few weeks. Addy is starting to get very excited about all of the new things in her new room, but we decided to close the door to the room and keep it closed until it was a bit more finished. I have been browsing stores for wall decor and her mattress is being delievered on Monday. We are well on our way to having one of the two rooms complete.

On Valentine's Day weekend we decided to go out to eat with Adalyn on Saturday to beat the lovebird rush. We went to Destihl, which is a really good restaurant in Bloomington. We ordered Adalyn the spaghetti and she loved it so much she ate and ate. That day marked the beginning of an eating marathon that is still going strong. We have decided that she must be on one serious growth spurt! The other day Derek asked "when did our two year old begin eating like a teenage boy?" I'm not sure how long this eating frenzy will last, but it sure is encouraging to see her eat all of her vegetables!
Adalyn is finally having a more positive attitude towards her brother. At first after our ultrasound she would tell everyone that she was getting a sister and got very angry if someone tried to tell her otherwise. Now, she refers to him as her brother and is even occasionly talking to my belly. The other night she was eating macaroni and cheese crackers and came over to my belly, lifted up my shirt, said "here baby," and attempted to stick the cracker in my belly button. When I explained to her that babies don't eat crackers and that they drink milk she offered her sippy cup to my belly button. Well, at least she's looking out for her little brother!
We are so happy to see February come to an end and March begin for many reasons:
- February is Derek's busy reserve season, so March means no more long Monday nights and weekend days at the office--hooray!
- On March 2nd we will celebrate our little girl's 2nd birthday. It will be her golden birthday and we can't believe she's already two!
- March=SPRING BREAK!!
- March will hopefully bring warmer weather!
- Tonya's favorite time of the year happens during this month--March Madness. Even though it doesn't look like our Hoosiers will make the big dance there are plenty of other teams we will be rooting for and against!
