February with the Colemans

We are right in the midst of birthday party palooza. Virtually every kid we know has a birthday between January and April! Every year I buy presents in bulk and prepare for busy weekends. Sarah is in heaven! She wishes every day was a birthday party day. Here is the most recent party we attended.

Sarah's good friend Lily had a dinosaur themed 4th birthday party at her house. Sarah had a great time playing all the games that Lily's mom created.



Tristan had a great time just being cool! I love this photo!



Julie and her girl. Sweet!


All of the kids joining in the fun


Lily preparing to blow out the candles on her smoking cake!


I love the hat!




Dawn outdid herself with a "real" oozing volcano. Check out Sarah's expression. Do you think it was a hit?


Sarah is really into dressing like the Disney princesses these days. We bought her this Belle dress for her birthday. She is so cute when she runs around the house acting like a princess! Today she let me in on her play. I was the fairy Godmother! Luckily the next birthday party we are attending will be a Princess tea party. Do you think she is excited? You bet!
> Mom bought Sarah some Princess Wigs last year for Christmas. Boy are they getting used now (by young and old)!

Look at that luxurious mane.




Not forgetting about our littlest Coleman, she likes to lie around and watch all the fun!




I love those blue eyes and her cute little nose. She is really changing lately. She is trying her best to roll over (if she could only move that arm).



She is such a sweet little Mommy's girl.

Sarah could just eat her with a spoon! I can't wait to see these two grow up together. I just know they will be close!



Leah has been a sick little girl during her short 4 months on planet earth. Between reflux and two ear infections, she has had little reason to smile. I am so happy when I can catch her cute smile on camera!

I like to call this her "Wasssuppp" expression. She loves to stick out her tongue. Especially when she is getting kisses!



More tongue action.


She likes to sit up, it helps with her reflux issues. But I also think she likes seeing what is going on from this vantage point.


I have so few photos with Leah, I attempted to take one at arms length. Check out her expression. Priceless!

Sarah loves to take photos, so she snapped one of me. I call it "exhausted but happy". I am so looking forward to Spring so that I can officially introduce Leah to the outside world. I can't wait for our Spring and Summer adventures to come. Stay tuned!

New hairdo and snow too!

Sarah is now a 4 year old! I can see the little woman appearing more and more each day. Latest example: Dad takes Sarah to the hair dresser. She walks up and tells the lady exactly what type of hairstyle she wants. Chris lets her do all the talking . The result is really pretty! See below.

My big girl looks so grown up!

My little one is growing at a feverish pace as well.

Sarah loves to "snuggle" with Leah all the time. I am not sure how much Leah enjoys this now, but perhaps she will soon.

What a cheeser!

It is probably one of the snowiest years of my lifetime to date. I only wish I could get out in it more often. Leah is just too little to venture out just yet. She is very ready for the snow season to end so she can get out and actually see the world!

Katie doesn't seem to mind snow at all!

Sarah went out front to try and make an igloo with a ice block maker that Mamaw gave her.

Sarah also attempted to sled in our backyard, but is not having much luck by herself.

She may not be sledding, but least she is stylin'. Ha!

Leah is changing so much. She is now over three months old. She is beginning to grasp items, and she has the cutest smile. She loves blowing bubbles, and she can roll to her side. Fun times for a three month old!

She also seems to love her "baby" as much as Sarah loves her yellow one. Hilarious!

Sarah is a wonderful big sister. Leah is so lucky to have a sister who cares for her so much. She loves to dangle toys for her, sing and read to her, and give huge kisses!


What a beauty! Brown is definitely a great color for Leah. We are blessed with two wonderful kiddos!
