Good grief, it’s basically March.

February definitely lived up to being the shortest month. While daily it felt like it would never end, now it’s almost over.

We’ve literally done absolutely nothing noteworthy this month. At least in the adventure department. Honestly, we barely left the house.

But Little Man conquered some big milestones.

He is now fully mobile. And boy is he fast! Crawling all over the place and getting into everything. His favorite pastime is crawling as fast as he can to the Roomba and turning it on before Mommy has to stop it.

With crawling has also come the need to pull up on anything within arm’s reach. Though not quite totally steady, he is fearless. He’s gotten a few boo-boos from his shenanigans, but he’s resilient.

He is up to six teeth, fully poked through. Which means he has been trying all sorts of new food. He is 100% over purees and wants to try whatever you’re eating. He had chicken lo mein the other night and tacos another day. Thankfully, he’s not found much he doesn’t like/won’t eat.

We’ve been able to stop using his bath seat in the tub now (he outgrew it and has no issue sitting on his own). It’s a bit like wrestling an alligator at bath time and diaper changes. He’s so dang busy.

Let’s see… I didn’t keep up with writing what we did each week like I normally do, so I’m all over the place trying to remember how this month played out.

We ordered in appetizers and beer for the Super Bowl. The game, the halftime show, and the commercials left a lot to be desired in my opinion.

With COVID restrictions still keeping the movie theater closed, the Mister and I weren’t able to celebrate Valentine’s Day like we normally do. The Mister actually got me flowers (which as you know, he has NEVER done because “flowers are for apologies”). He says it’s because I didn’t tell him I wanted anything else other than jokingly saying he could get me some.

Miss Independence celebrated her 2nd birthday. I can’t believe she’s only two. It really feels like she has always been with us. She is such a good dog and she adores Little Man.

We did have a snow “storm” come through so The Mister was home for about a week from work. Everything shut down and we probably got 4 inches of snow. The rest of the country got it much worse with rolling blackouts and below freezing temperatures.

It didn’t stay long here and the rain has already set in, so mud is the name of the game right now. The doggos have already had to be scrubbed down outside because there’s no grass in the back yard.

Other than that, February was a bit of a bust.

March is bound to be better. My mom is coming to visit for spring break and Little Man’s 9 month check up is right around the corner. I truly don’t know where the time goes. Hopefully the weather will start to feel more spring-like so we can get outside!

Until then,

Cheers!
