Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started off with me getting to sleep in while GK and T picked me a beautiful rose from our garden out back.
Yep-that is a Christmas gift bag behind my Valentine's Day rose. We like to reduce, reuse, recycle around here.

After breakfast we decided to head to Inspiration Point in Tilden Park to take T for a little stroll in her new BOB. I hit the jackpot the prior weekend at a children's consignment shop when I saw the Cadillac of strollers peeking out from behind the counter. With credit from previously selling back some baby items and $27, I was its proud new owner.

We took a little break from strolling so that T could join the beautiful weather.
Yep-it's February and no jacket or shoes required out here.
For about the past month T has been engaging in this odd hybrid between crawling and walking. She scoots around on her knees. I think she actually thinks she's walking. Of course she's fully capable of walking but she's just not very motivated to do it consistently.
It doesn't really seem to bother her much though as you can tell by the ridiculously huge grin on her face.
I take full credit for this kid's hair. *sigh* After Inspiration Point we drove around with a napping T in the car and I popped into Timeless cafe for a vegan rootbeer float and soft serve waffle cone for GK. T slept though all this deliciousness.

Later we drove to Union City to spend the evening with GK's cousin, his family, and friends. T was very happy that there were other kids there. They were all very sweet and did their best to entertain T.
I don't know if it was the other kids or the plush carpeting throughout Cousin Joe Joe's house but T walked more that night than she ever has before.
T also showed off her piano skills.
And made new friends. Almost as soon as we got into the car to return home T passed out.
