February Recap

I almost got this post up on time!

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.

Hiding in the closet

Doing a puzzle

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

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.
