Wintergreen

We spent a relaxing, fun weekend at Wintergreen hanging out with Emily and GW and Kari and Ron. Colton and Sulley enjoyed meeting their new friends, Taylor and Price. It didn't take long for them all to get comfortable with each other... After a busy day visiting the wineries, Colton enjoyed napping beside Taylor while she rubbed his head.

Yes! Babies can visit wineries too!
The gang at Pollack Vineyards, a newbie to the area.

still having trouble getting a decent shot of them all


Buds!

So today we took advantage of the beautiful weather and trekked into DC to visit the National Zoo. We met Jud, Ing and Lucy there and, of course, Colton and Sulley had absolutely no interest in the animals. We went to the tiger pad and the tigers even showed off for us, but no reaction from the DPs...We did manage to wake the Colton up a couple of times to snap a few quick pictures. Sulley on the other hand, slept the whole time until we got to the grocery store on the way home and then she decided to serenade every single person in the store. When we got separated, Laura could find me in the Teeter just by listening for Sulley.

new tricks

Yup, colton is under the couch! Now that he's started to scoot a little, somehow he always backs his way under things like tables, the tv and the couch. wild and kinda disgusting since he's becoming a human dust mop!

Sulley is also a human dust mop with all the ground she covers but she's working on perfecting old tricks these days. Sulley's popping herself up pretty consistently and as a result, she's falling regularly too! Good thing she recovers quickly!

Vday foto follies

It wasn't so easy to get a snapshot of all the kids at the party....

Valentine's Day party at Megan's!


We had so much fun celebrating Valentine's day at Megan's house! Here's an early pic of some of the girls before the rest of the crew arrived. at one point, we tried to line the kids up on the couch but it wasn't as easy as it was at Christmas!

From one heart to another...


We're gearing up for Valentine's Day a little early and have spent the day making RK treats and cookies for our MM Valentine's Day party tomorrow! I got a little carried away with the pink food coloring and at one point, our icing almost looked neon pink. i kept adding drops to the icing in an attempt to make it red but uh... it only got brighter instead of darker. ha!

Toothless Wonder

Here's our toothless boy in all his glory. Colton must be finally getting a toofie because he's been chewing on toys even more than he has been the past few months. Here he is, chewing on his favorite silver teething toy. Big guy has also been a little irritable and finicky eating (not unusual) so we're just pumping him up with motrin. I've also noticed that he prefers his baby food cold-- another reason i suspect teething. Miss Sulley now has TWO teeth coming poking through her gums. She's going to be a snaggletooth before long. I just hope Colton his bottoms ones are coming in and not his lateral incisors, because the last thing i want is a vampire kid! but hey, if it happens (which is possible), at least it'll make for cute pictures!!
