He obviously was in no hurry to be a walker but at 14 months exactly he is officially walking everywhere. Yay, Mark!

Emily still loves to sing and dance all day long and everywhere we go. Mark likes to join in the fun. They were both playing piano for us for almost 15 minutes before I filmed the clip below. It was pretty funny. I know Mark, once again, is not clothed but he manages to go through at least two pairs of pants each day for one reason or another and sometimes I just give up. It dawned on me yesterday that this is a real problem.

Mark is walking more and more. Still not exclusively walking, but he is getting close. Here is some video of my precious boy walking.

Emily had a Valentine party at school today and the parents were invited. Here are some pictures.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Some pictures from our day.

We got home and had a special package from Daddy. Emily had no idea that strawberries could be covered in delicious chocolate. She was very excited. Thank you Ben. We love you.

I was doing some things in the front of the house with Emily and knew Mark had gone into Emily's room by himself. It was a few minutes before I checked on him. When I walked back to the hallway he was standing there with one of Emily's play stethoscopes around his neck and holding up the end piece like he was ready to go. Emily has a toy chest full of dress up items in her room. He obviously went in there, opened up the chest, dug it out and then put it on all by himself because her room was all clean before he went in there and when he was done the toy chest was partially emptied. By the time I could snap a pic he was ready to take it off, but I did manage to get this. It was so cute.

Here are a few more pictures from this week.
