Emma Claire's First Valentine's Day

We got up around 7am and had family cuddle time in bed. This is my FAVORITE part of the day! Now that Emma Claire sleeps in her own room I miss her during the night. Although she's usually kind enough to wake up at least once a night still ;-) So when I go get her at seven I bring her to our bed to feed her and then we hang out in bed for a little while. She is usually SO happy and talkative, it's such a special part of our day. And since Daddy doesn't work until later it's nice for him to spend time with both of his girls. Anyways, this morning we got up..did our morning routine and then headed downstairs.

First, we opened our cards and presents! I am obsessed with my cards, I made them on TinyPrints

NEW FAVORITE PICTURE
I cannot get over how sweet this is! These two camped out on the couch and watched Monsters Inc. while I cooked our Valentine's Day breakfast.

I just love a lovey breakfast :-) Heart shaped toast is just so fun! I can't wait until Emma Claire is older and I can make her Valentine's Day breakfast!

Please ignore her teenage-eque look. I swear she's 16 already. "Uh, Mom...I do NOT want to take a picture with YOU. Where's Dad, he's way more fun." HA!

Valentine's kisses from Mommy.

My Valentine's Day present!!!! Bye-Bye blackberry, helloooo iPhone! The Hubs got one too! We're now an iPhone family!

After the little one was in bed for the night I got to cooking our dinner. I used the heart shaped pasta my Mom got me, SO FUN!

I made my famous homemade spaghetti sauce with chicken.

You know you're a parent when.....There's a baby monitor in between your Valentine's Day champagne and wine ;-) We ate relaxed and ate dinner while watching another one of my presents...the new Twilight movie!

I am pretty sure this was one of the best Valentine's Day's I've had. I LOVE having a baby on holidays, it just makes them so much more fun!

First Valentine's Day jammies.

I just love anything with a cute little elephant on it!

Sweet baby with her Baylor bear.

Let's hope she feels like this about boys for a long time...for her Daddy's sake ;-)

And Emma Claire gave us the best present of all...she went to sleep without a peep!

Love the heart shaped pasta and toast! I made Taft strawberry muffins and red eggs and cheese one year. The eggs looked a little weird but he ate them!

I totally agree-having a baby makes EVERYTHING so much more exciting, even though they have no idea what's going on :)
Love those valentine jammies-I've been putting Callyn in them since like right after Christmas, haha!

Emma Claire looks so so cute in her little Valentine's jammies! I also love the heart shaped things you had--the noodles and toast are so so cute! You are such a thoughtful wife--I think you should give me some lessons! :)
