Or rather, E ate his lunch and watched me do it.
It's on the windowsill awaiting sunshine. February is a hard month for our family. I think of these tiny hopeful seeds as a little something to remember my mother by.

Hoping for Spring...
...so we planted lavender seeds today in a little pot!

More February
B is off to Cannes tomorrow for a business trip. He'll be in France for two nights and three days. I am already looking forward to his return!
Friday afternoon, E slept late...
...so we decided to go out for dinner. We walked up the hill about a mile to a nearby Italian restaurant that we knew was kid-friendly. Last time we went there, E was about 4 months old. This time, he was able to do a lot more than just sit there - he had dough balls and some pizza, and boy did he enjoy that. We let him walk quite a bit of the way there/back so despite his late nap he had no real problems going to bed.
Saturday we went to the local Farmer's Market, bought a few treats (pesto, ciabatta, an interesting orange-and-rum cakebread, etc) and then went to the very large playground nearby. E had a blast...
And... that's all for now.

February
This winter keeps dragging on, dreary, gray and really, really cold. It totally can end already. I am so ready for more sun. Fortunately, the days are incrementally lengthening, so things are starting to look up a little.
B and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary last week. He took me to a local Michelin-starred restaurant. I feel a bit spoiled!
Other than that, I have no major updates. Elijah keeps growing and is surprising us almost every day with things. He can recognize the letters "O" and "Y" (and probably more, too, but pronunciation is an issue with him). He says "Ticka-tah!" instead of peekaboo. He can run at about a million miles an hour. Don't get me started on the climbing. Last week, B and I tried to tally up all the different words he says and we've come up with 50+ at least. Still says "Dadden" for Daddy. He also recognizes some numbers and can say them/point them out. The one downside to all this talking is that he still cannot pronounce the "L" in clock. Yeah.
Here's a pic taken today of E in his pyjamas "helping" Granny play the harmonica.
And a video of a video of a, well - just watch it and see.
