Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, we didn't do anything fancy but it was a nice Sunday hanging out as a family (I love saying that!). Finley finally beginning to find a wonderful sleep pattern and he's waking up perkier and happier each morning, which is great! We're trying to increase his tummy time during the morning hours and here he is checking himself out in the mirror. What a handsome guy!

Dan went to play frisbee and I took Finley on a walk with our friend Moira around the Tufts campus. Later, Finley, Dan and I exchanged gifts--surprise, surprise they were mostly all baby related. Though with a $10 gift limit, it's hard to be too creative!! After running some errands, Finley's Valentine, Eliot, invited us over for a romantic dinner at her house. Finley just had to dress up, so he put on his new onesie from our Texas friends Lisa and Joe. Look closely, it says Finley!

It was a bit chilly out, so we layered up with a fleece on top. The colors certainly don't coordinate, but as Dan reminded me, "He's a boy, don't worry about it." I'll have to keep this in mind in the future :)

We got to Eliot's house and she woke up from her nap to say, Hi. During dinner, the two lovebirds sat in opposing baby receptacles. Eliot in her bumbo and Finley in Eliot's brand new Exersaucer.

Towards the end, both little ones wanted to he held and included in the dinner time conversation. Who can blame them?

It wasn't the most romantic evening, but it was fun to be with friends. Eliot's folks, Sangwha and Josh, were great hosts and Nathan (father of two boys) was the evening's child expert. He reminded us that we'll simply have to accept living with baby crap everywhere (exersaucers are gigantic eyesores and high chairs are ugly and hard to clean) and expect it to get worse as our kids get older and drag their stuff all over the place. Sangwha plans to fight it, but I can't wait!
