February had some bitterly cold days, when the wind chill dipped as low as -30F, some snowy days, and some windy days this past month. But we also had days when the temperatures reached the 40s, 50s, and even 60s, meaning we actually got to spend a little time outside.
Swinging
Sliding
At the park near Dada's work
But other times we stayed inside, where Matt found plenty of things to keep himself busy.
Making a "cave" by crawling under the sheets
Hiding in the closet
Intent on playing with his food
Building his own track for trains
Reading with Dada
We had a few special events, including an open house at a local camp and a Valentine's Day party.
Trying out an obstacle course
Climbing through
Balance beam
Swinging on the rings
Eating his decorated cookie (perhaps more frosting and sprinkles than cookie by the time he was done!)
We also did a number of our usual activities: playgroups and playdates, library story time, and open gym.
Working on a puzzle with a buddy
This month Matt experienced some firsts. He attended his first puppet show, about Peter Rabbit, at the local library. The guy also explained how the puppets worked, making it a nice introduction to puppets. Matt also took his first sports class with buddies from our moms' group. He wasn't too sure about the class aspect but enjoyed playing some of the games. And Monday he started his first set of classes, a combination of gymnastics (more of an obstacle course than tumbling), open gym, and pretend play.

Running for the line
Finally, a few other photos from our month.
