Mr & Mrs Smith: Valentines #nailedit

Happy Valentines Day! Here is our Valentines selfie to celebrate :) This Valentines was one for the books! Harrison surprised me with a beautiful rose gold fossil watch. It matches my wedding ring and I LOVE it. He also brought home some beautiful orchids. I smile to myself every time I see them because they make me think of the singing flowers on Alice in Wonderland. They have little faces!

I got Harrison a box of See's chocolates this year. When I went to the store to pick them out the guy told me excitedly, "The heart boxes are only $5.50!" I thought to myself, wow..that's a really great deal! (Usually you have to pay for the chocolate by weight) So I had him grab the box and we started picking out chocolate. A couple chocolates in I started looking at the prices of the pre-made boxes on the wall and realized he meant THE BOX was $5.50. Too embarrassed to say anything, I filled the box. Good thing Harrison reeally likes chocolate things :)

For our parents this year I saw this adorable picture on pinterest. (picture below) I really wanted to recreate it with Lydia's hands on a canvas. Unfortunately...6 month olds don't really like to open their hands on demand.

So picture this. Me. Lydia. Harrison. All on the floor in our kitchen. Lydia stripped down to her diaper, covered head to toe in paint we fully intended to keep on her hands. Lydia's crying because...paint and teething. Harrison and I look down at our failed pinterest creation, then to our crying Lydia, up to each other and laugh at the mess we'd made.
Sorry Mom and Dad. We tried :)

Lydia spent the whole weekend teething and this face pretty much sums up how she felt about it. She lived off tylenol and teething tablets for 3 days and finally woke up back to herself this morning. It was so hard to watch her be in so much pain and unfortunately it feels like it was all for nothing because she didn't even cut a tooth!

Even though it was hard to watch her be in so much pain, we did enjoy the extra cuddles. She fell asleep in our arms multiple times throughout the weekend, something she hasn't done for months.

She tried so hard to be happy even though she was feeling miserable. What a trooper!

Sunday night we went to my parent's house for dinner. I had to snap a few pictures of Milo while we were there. Apparently he felt a little attention deprived. He was not shy about letting my mom know he needed some extra loves!

On Monday we went with my Mom, Maya, Ezra, and Serena to the aquarium (my mom got to watch Aubrey's kids all weekend.) It felt like an indoor zoo! We had fun looking at all the fish, but mostly spending time together out of the house. We were all feeling cooped up after staying in while Lydia was under the weather all weekend.
